In recent statements, Brittany Cartwright, star of the popular reality TV show “Vanderpump Rules”, expressed her concerns regarding the wavering state of her marital tie with her estranged husband, Jax Taylor. Nearly five years after they had embarked on the journey of marital bliss, it appears that the couple is tottering on the brink of separation.
In an interview given on Saturday, Cartwright revealed to TMZ that Taylor, a fellow actor on “Vanderpump Rules”, was making negligible efforts to rectify the strained ties between them. Furthermore, responding to queries about the possibility of seeking professional mediation through marriage counselling, Cartwright indicated that such a step had indeed been considered in the past.
Venting suspicions about her husband’s lack of commitment towards mending the troubled relationship, Cartwright stated that having requested Taylor on multiple occasions to make significant and necessary adjustments, no ensuing progress could be discerned. Delving deeper into their personal strife, she further remarked, “Whenever you fight with somebody for so long, there’s only so much you can take. I deserve better, and so does our 2-year-old son, Cruz.”
As the struggle continued, Cartwright took solace in the distance from her husband, asserting her belief that moving out was the most satisfactory solution for the concerning situation at hand. While she continues to cherish her love for Taylor, she emphasized her focus on seeking the best possible outcome for her and Cruz. However, should there be a transformation in Taylor’s stance and behavior, a reunion can still be on the cards, according to Cartwright.
There had been floating conjectures about this marital turmoil being a publicity stunt to promote their forthcoming TV show, “The Valley”. Denying such allegations, Cartwright assured Page Six that their separation had in fact been undertaken to ensure her mental wellbeing rather than for publicity. The detailed portrayal of their marital rift would be unfolded in their planned series, she added.
The celebrity duo tied the knot back in June 2019 in a grand ceremony showcased on “Vanderpump Rules”. They were blessed with their son in April 2021, shortly before their decision to pull out of the hit Bravo series. Confirming their separation through their podcast, “When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany”, Cartwright expressed that she and Taylor were contemplating a break from their romantic engagement for better mental health and an optimal future for their son.
Responding to the situation, Taylor clarified that this was not a call for divorce but a step towards creating a healthier environment for their child. The duo, despite the current crisis, are not on a path to reconciliation, as per exclusive details shared with Page Six.
