It’s the lunch outing heard ’round The Valley. OnlyFans model Paige Woolen picked up Jax Taylor in a limo, in front of the paparazzi. Since this very public lunch, more information keeps coming out about Jax’s alleged new love interest.
Jax and his estranged wife Brittany Cartwright announced their split just before The Valley’s premiere. Because of the timing, and the lack of initial buzz for the show, many assumed it was a PR stunt. However, now that The Valley is a hit- and that Season 1 shows the cracks in their marriage – that speculation fell by the wayside.
After the split from Brittany, rumors spread that Jax and his publicist had a not entirely professional relationship. But it seems that Paige was on the scene for quite some time. Here’s everything we currently know about the 32-year-old, and the status of her relationship with Jax-or lack thereof.
Paige’s social media receives lots of attention
Though the Jax connection gives her a boost of fame, Paige already has popular social media accounts, including TikTok. Her personal Instagram account, @paigeuncaged, has over 800k followers. She has a second account, @dudesinthedm, devoted to posting the wild messages she gets from men, which grants her a lot of attention and press coverage. Especially when she exposes cheating men. This is a bit ironic considering Jax’s history of infidelity.
Paige has an odd sense of humor. For instance, announcing “I’m pregnant!” at Jeremy Madix’s birthday party. Not sure who found it amusing, but I’m sure it was… someone.
Paige appeared on Scheana Shay’s podcast
Jax and his former co-star Scheana Shay aren’t on the best terms these days. Scheana is unambiguously Team Brittany. But they both have a connection to Paige.
Back in 2021, the model appeared as a guest on Scheana’s podcast. She discussed the dm social media account and the responses she got from men as a result. She also spoke openly about her plastic surgeries.
Scheana isn’t the only Bravolebrity to interview Paige, as she also appeared on Jeff Lewis’ show.
She has A-list connections (allegedly)
According to Paige, Jax isn’t the first celebrity she’s been linked to. When appearing on the podcast The Sarah Fraser Show, Paige claimed to have a history with Jeremy Renner and Ben Affleck. Maybe she really likes the movie The Town? She also told Sarah Fraser and Scheana about dm-ing with since-disgraced actor Armie Hammer, who she never met up with in person. Paige also modeled for the cover art of Drake’s Table for One.
Jax claimed a lot of A-list connections over the years, though many have been disputed. Most notably, he claimed to hook up with Lindsay Lohan, who denied ever meeting him.
Jax met the parents
Reddit sleuths discovered that Jax and Paige have a history beyond the public lunch outing. Or, rather, that Jax has a history with the Woolen family at large. Jax and Tom Schwartz went golfing with Paige’s parents. Her mom posted an Instagram story, which Jax then reposted.
On her podcast Scheananigans, Scheana claimed that Paige’s parents were the ones who introduced her to Jax. “Apparently, Paige’s dad won a round of golf at some charity event to play a round of golf with Jax,” Scheana said, “And then he was like, oh, you should meet my daughter.”
Jax denies dating Paige
After lots of speculation, Jax outright denied dating Paige – or anyone else, on X, formerly known as Twitter. He also teased that there’s more to the story. Could this all be his way of ramping up the hype for next week’s The Valley season finale?
On his and Brittany’s podcast, When Reality Hits, Jax reiterated that he’s not dating anyone. However, he also said that it would be okay if he was dating someone, because he and Brittany are separated and free to date other people. He also claimed they’re both on the exact same page about this. As for Paige, Jax said, “we’re just hanging out right now”.
Of course, Jax doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to telling the truth. One of the catalysts for his split with Brittany was his lie that she had a stroke. And after their split was announced, he claimed they were working things out, which Brittany denied. She also confronted him for lying about her on The Valley.
Jax’s The Valley co-stars are as confused as the rest of us
Naturally, Jax’s co-stars had a lot to say about the paparazzi pictures of his very public lunch with Paige. Jasmine Goode was asked about it by Us Weekly. As for her initial reaction, Jasmine said she wasn’t surprised, since it’s typical Jax behavior. She added, “I don’t know if I believe it.”
Jasmine added that she was confused by the whole thing. Especially since he claimed to be trying to get back together with Brittany. She also agreed that it seemed to be his way of getting under Brittany’s skin. “I think he sees Brittany thriving and being happy,” Jasmine theorized, “and maybe that’s rubbing him the wrong way”.
Regardless of his intentions for his recent actions, we’ll surely get more context for Jax and Brittany’s split on The Valley’s Season 1 finale. And this situation with Jax and Paige is yet another reason why viewers are hoping The Valley gets a reunion after all.
