Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright aren’t the only Bravo stars going through trouble in their marriage. Their co-stars Jesse and Michelle Saniei from The Valley recently announced their split, too, and the Vanderpump Rules alum is sharing his opinion.
“Everybody handles this kind of situation differently,” Jax told People during the cast’s premiere party last week. “In fact, you know, [it’s] not just Jesse. I have about a dozen people going through this right now,” he said. “There’s a lot of people going through what I’m going through right now.”
He continued: “Marriage is not easy. It’s a lot of work. There’s a lot of ups and downs.” News of Jax and Brittany’s break came in February 2024 during an episode of their podcast, When Reality Hits. “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,” Brittany revealed before asking the audience to “pray for us.”
Jesse said The Valley stars all support each other through “different things”
Jesse also chatted with People during last week’s party. He shared how “happy” he was to have Jaxy Boy in his corner during this time, saying he “was going through it way before” he was.
“I told him, like, ‘Listen, I’ve been through the miserable part of it. Now we’re in mediation and we’re doing this … Whatever support you need, I’m happy to be there for you,'” Jesse said.
In addition to Jax, Brittany, Jesse, and his soon-to-be ex-wife Michelle, The Valley will also feature Kristen Doute, her boyfriend Luke Broderick, and a handful of other characters. Although separating from his wife of six years will be difficult, Jesse said the support he’s received from his cast mates makes all the difference.
“We’re all here to support each other. We’re all going through different things.”
Watch The Valley on Bravo on March 19. You can stream the next day on Peacock.
