Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, former stars of Vanderpump Rules, were recently seen together in Los Angeles following their announcement of a separation. Cartwright, 35, disclosed last month that she and Taylor, 44, were living apart.
The couple was observed reuniting outside a residence in L.A., where Taylor assisted Cartwright by opening the gate for her and bringing in the trash cans. Cartwright shared on their podcast, When Reality Hits, that they had been facing challenges for almost a year, leading to their decision to take time apart.
Cartwright emphasized the difficulty of marriages and mentioned her move to another home for her mental well-being. She expressed uncertainty about the future with Taylor but highlighted her focus on being a devoted mother to their 2-year-old son, Cruz.
During the premiere of their upcoming show, The Valley, Cartwright emphasized her primary concern for Cruz's well-being and her pursuit of happiness. She hoped for positive changes from Taylor for the sake of their son and herself.
Cartwright revealed that a heated argument prompted her to move out of their house into an Airbnb rental. Both Cartwright and Taylor clarified that their separation was a mutual decision aimed at benefiting their family.
They dismissed speculations of using their split for publicity, asserting that the timing coinciding with the show's release was coincidental. Cartwright emphasized her commitment to family and marriage, stating that the separation was a genuine need for personal reflection.
Despite external perceptions, Cartwright stressed that her actions were not driven by the show's promotion but by her genuine values and priorities.
