Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are currently separated, and although they’re “cordial,” things between the pair aren’t looking good. During Jax’s Watch What Happens Live appearance, he spilled the tea about his marital woes with Brittany and said being married is “not easy.”
“[I’m] going through a lot of things with my mental health right now,” he said. “It’s a tough process. Covid, losing our job on Vanderpump [Rules], and then having a baby, it was just a lot of stuff that was piling down on me, and it was crushing me.”
Jax says he has to “fix” himself before he can be the partner for Brittany…
Jax and Brittany announced their separation back in February 2024. Then, Brittany told the Bravoverse that things between them were challenging and asked listeners of her podcast to pray for them and their son, Cruz.
Later, Brittany said she’d be willing to take Jax back if he made some of the right changes. Former VPR cast members also spoke about their marriage’s demise, saying Brittany “deserves better” than what the House of Villains star was offering her.
Jax told Andy Cohen that one of the biggest factors that led to their separation involved their “communication.”
“Until I can fix myself or get to where I want to be, I can’t be good for her,” he said.
The pair still co-parent their son, coordinating play dates, swim lessons, and soccer games. However, “We’re just not sleeping in the same bed,” Jax said.
“There’s a long list of things [wrong with me] that I’m currently trying to get some help [with],” he continued. “I really, really need a lot of help. I do.”
The Valley continues on Tuesdays at 9/8c.
