Brittany Cartwright makes it clear that Jax Taylor isn’t the only breadwinner in their home. Find out what she had to say!
The Valley star appeared on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast where she discussed her and Jax Taylor’s separation, their finances, and living situation. Plus more.
To start, Brittany Cartwright once again insists that her and Jax’s separation is not “a publicity stunt.”
“The only reason I ever said anything publicly was because the Instagram investigators could tell I was staying in a different house,” she said.
“I feel like people should know my character. I would never do that, and I would never put my son through this if it wasn’t real.”
Brittany explains that she moved out of their shared home on January 24 after getting into a massive fight on her birthday.
“I’ll just keep spending a shit ton of money on Airbnbs until we figure out what we are going to do.”
Although Brittany no longer lives at the Valley Village home she owns with Jax, she is still paying all of the bills.
“I pay all the bills, all the stuff for school and Cruz, and insurance, and car and all that,” she reveals.
According to the former SURver, when she and Jax purchased their home back in 2019 she “put down just as much money as Jax did.”
She currently pays all the bills for her AirBNB and their Valley Village home while Jax is only responsible for paying the mortgage.
When asked if she and Jax will reconcile, Brittany Cartwright said, “He wants me to move back into the house and live in the main bedroom and him live in the guest bedroom. I’m like, ‘we are not pulling a Tom and Ariana.’”
She added: “[If I move back home] I just fee like things will go back to exactly how they were.”
“Some days he’s like ‘Well I’m happy, like you don’t see me crying’ [and] he’ll say mean crap like that. And then other days, he completely different.”
Brittany then admitted that she doesn’t see her and Jax getting back together anytime soon.
On February 29, Brittany Cartwright announced that she and Jax were “taking time apart.” The Vanderpump Rules alum announced the news on her and Jax’s podcast, When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany.
“Yes, marriages in general are very hard, and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year,” the Kentucky native said in the episode.
“Jax and I are taking time apart, and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.”
The 35-year-old didn’t reveal what led to the split, noting that she “won’t get into too many details because this is still very hard to talk about.”
“I’m taking things one day at a time,” she added. “I don’t know what the future holds, but right now, my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz.”
Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright met in 2015 at the Gold Spike Lounge in Las Vegas. The Kentucky native quickly moved to Los Angeles to be with Jax and first appeared on season 4 of Vanderpump Rules. By 2016, Brittany had landed a job at SUR and became an official VPR cast member
After some ups and downs in their relationship, Jax proposed in June 2018, and the couple said ‘I do’ a little more than a year later, in 2019.
They welcomed their son, Cruz, in April 2021.
Only time will tell if Brittany and Jax can fix their marriage, but stay glued to AllAboutTRH for all the latest updates as they come.
The Valley airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.
