Brittany Cartwright was surprised to find out that her estranged husband Jax Taylor had liked an Instagram comment suggesting he should have married his ex, Stassi Schroeder, instead of her. This revelation was shared on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, where Cartwright expressed her shock and discomfort at the situation. Fans were quick to comment, with some speculating about Taylor’s feelings for other women from the “Valley” cast.
Taylor had dated Schroeder during the early seasons of “Vanderpump Rules” but ultimately cheated on her with their friend Kristen Doute. After their split, he began dating Cartwright in 2015, with their relationship also facing challenges due to infidelity issues on Taylor’s part. Despite these difficulties, they got engaged in 2018, married in 2019, and welcomed their son, Cruz Michael Cauchi, in 2021.
In 2023, the couple teamed up for a podcast and a “Valley” spinoff, but later announced their decision to separate. Cartwright cited mental health reasons for moving into a new home apart from Taylor. Since then, she has been open about the struggles in their marriage and Taylor’s lack of effort to work on their relationship.
Cartwright revealed to TMZ in March that Taylor was not putting in the effort needed to save their marriage. She expressed her frustration with his lack of action and stated that she deserved better treatment after being together for nine years. Cartwright emphasized the importance of appreciation and not taking a partner for granted, especially in marriage. She also compared Taylor’s behavior to that of a toddler, highlighting the challenges they faced in their relationship.
Despite rumors of infidelity, both Cartwright and Taylor denied that cheating was the cause of their marital issues. Cartwright made it clear that she was focused on getting the respect and effort she deserved from Taylor, and if that did not happen, they would not reconcile. She spoke candidly about their struggles to various media outlets, including Page Six and People, shedding light on the reality of their separation and the reasons behind it.
