Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor have been major topics of conversation as of late. Part of this has to do with their show, The Valley, but it’s also because of their separation. There has been tons of speculation about why they are no longer together, and Brittany is opening up about it.
Jax and Brittany met in 2018 and got engaged the following year. They’ve had a series of ups and downs but separated recently. They have one son together.
Brittany recently sat down with Bravo’s The Daily Dish with Kristen Doute. During the interview, Brittany addressed her relationship and separation from Jax. Brittany confirmed that there was no cheating.
She said, “We just had our issues with fighting with each other. There wasn’t any infidelity. I know that’s been a rumor going around. It wasn’t anything like that.”
Brittany goes on to say her son needing a happy home was part of the reason they are no longer together. “It was just not a happy feeling, and I was like, losing my sparkle a little bit. I started to notice that, and I think after I had my son, I woke up a little bit and it made me realize like he can’t grow up in this environment.”
Kristen then tells Brittany how proud she is of her and how she also deserves to be happy in whatever relationship she’s in.
As for why they broke up, Brittany says, “It just wore on me after nine years of dealing with a personality like that. We’re very different in a lot of ways, and he has grown in many ways as well.”
She then says he is a solid father but not a great husband.
Brittany also says there might be hope for the future. It should be noted that this interview was conducted before Jax was photographed out on a date with OnlyFans model Paige Woolen.
“He’s just not the best partner right now, and if, you know, if he works on some things, maybe in the future, we could get back together. “
She continues, “I’m not really sure about that situation yet, but for right now, the space is much needed for both of us. I’m just glad that I had the strength to finally take myself out of that situation ‘cause I didn’t think I would ever, ever, ever leave him.”
Brittany also recently appeared on the Sex Love & What Else Matters podcast and discussed her breakup with Jax and how she’s figuring things out. She said, “I’m trying to see how things are with us not being together.” The interviewer chimes in and asks if it’s to gauge how different things could be if they got back together, and Brittany says yes.
The Valley airs on Tuesdays on Bravo.
