Brittany Cartwright confirmed her and Jax Taylor’s separation in February 2024 during an episode of their joint podcast, “When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany.” Cartwright revealed that the pair is “taking time apart” and added that she had moved out of their shared Los Angeles home. Immediately, chatter online accused the stars of participating in some sort of publicity stunt, especially for their upcoming reality show, “The Valley,” set to premiere on Bravo in March 2024. The show revolves around Cartwright and Taylor’s family, alongside other couples, as they attempt to navigate the responsibility of adulthood in the Los Angeles neighborhood.
Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their reactions to the separation, with one user writing, “Seems a bit coincidental with the timing of their new show … some fake drama? IDK … maybe I’m being too cynical.” Another seconded that notion, adding, “I know I’m being mean but sorry this Jax Brittany separated seems so fake to promote the Valley and listen to the podcast.”
Taylor downplayed the rumors when he caught up with paparazzi, insisting to Page Six that divorce wasn’t in the cards and Cartwright had moved back into their Valley Village home. “We’re together. We’re living in our home right now,” he clarified, adding, “She was in a house for a while, but yeah, she’s back now.” However, after that paparazzi interaction, Page Six’s cameras caught Cartwright moving into a “rental,” so it seems the couple isn’t exactly on the same page.
