‘The Valley’ Jax Taylor ‘Checked Out’ Of Marriage A Long Time Ago
Brittany Cartwright has officially filed for divorce from Jax Taylor. Anyone could have seen the split coming from a mile away, and Jax seems to be taking it well. Insiders close to the Vanderpump Rules alum have said that he wasn’t caught off guard by the divorce filing. In fact, he’s ready to move on. Here is what sources have revealed about how Jax Taylor is coping with the end of his marriage.
Jax Taylor Is ‘On Board’ With The Divorce
Apparently, Jax was served with his divorce papers on camera. Fans of The Valley will likely get to see everything play out in Season 2, which is expected to air sometime next spring.
The circumstances surrounding the divorce filing seem kind of brutal. Jax Taylor just got out of in-patient treatment for his mental health. However, sources close to the Bravo star say that he’s dealing with it well. Actually, he’s ready to move forward with his life and finalize everything in the split with Brittany.
“Jax is 100 percent on board with moving forward with the divorce,” an insider told Page Six. What he’d like to focus on now is finding a way to co-parent their son, Cruz.
“He’s been checked out from the marriage for a long time now. He just wants to have an amicable co-parent relationship,” the source continued.
Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce on Tuesday after five years of marriage. The couple has been separated for much of 2024. In court documents, Brittany listed January 24 as their date of separation.
The Couple Is Moving On From Their Toxic Relationship
Jax and Brittany haven’t seen one another since he left his in-patient treatment facility. She is seeking sole physical and legal custody of their son but plans to allow Jax to visit regularly. Brittany Cartwright is making sure to keep her distance from Jax Taylor amid their split. Although he claims that he’s working on himself, she has not visited.
While the insider acknowledged that the divorce was sad for them both, they also knew they weren’t a good match for each other. They were in a “vicious cycle” of constantly fighting. Of course, fans have seen a lot of their fights play out on television.
“Their vicious cycles needed to stop for the sake of their son,” the source continued.
During the season finale of The Valley Season 1, Brittany spoke to her costars about the last straw in the marriage. The couple was having a knock-down drag-out fight. Brittany said that he’d been screaming at her for hours when she’d finally had enough.
“I packed me and Cruz up and we got the hell out of that house. I just kind of hit this point where I started noticing everything that he did to me,” she said.
On top of that, the couple was hardly having sex and Brittany felt the weight of the entire home on her shoulders.
Since filing for divorce from Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright has been seen accepting alcohol delivery outside her rental home. Then she went out for the night with Zack Wickham.
On the same day, Jax was spotted out and about for a guys’ night with Jesse Lally.
