Brittany Cartwright, star of The Valley and formerly of Vanderpump Rules, is feeling strong amidst her separation from her estranged husband Jax Taylor. After nearly five years of marriage, Cartwright and Taylor decided to separate in February, citing issues that had been ignored in the past to prioritize her own mental health and family. However, officially getting a divorce is not currently on the table, as they continue to coparent their son, Cruz. Cartwright has expressed that the separation has been a rollercoaster of emotions, with thoughts of never coming back one day and potentially reconciling the next.
While Cartwright and Taylor are living separately, she has hinted that she is not opposed to entering the dating scene. Although the terms of their separation have not been formally discussed, Cartwright is open to experimenting and figuring out what she truly wants for her relationship, whether that be getting back together with Taylor or pursuing other options. She has expressed a desire to expand her family and have more children, but acknowledges that it depends on the status of her relationship with Taylor.
The couple’s marital issues are currently being featured on The Valley, a spinoff of Vanderpump Rules. Cartwright believes the storyline will be relatable for viewers, as it showcases the ups and downs of relationships and the complexities of navigating separation and coparenting. Despite the challenges, Cartwright remains optimistic and is focused on staying true to herself and her needs, even if it means making difficult decisions for the sake of her mental health.
As Cartwright continues to adjust to her new reality, she remains hopeful about the future and is taking things one day at a time. She recognizes the importance of being true to herself and being open to whatever comes her way, whether that is reconciling with Taylor or moving on to a new chapter in her life. The Valley airs Tuesdays on Bravo at 9 p.m. ET, giving viewers a glimpse into Cartwright’s journey and the challenges she faces as she navigates the complexities of separation and self-discovery.
