In a recent episode of Lala Kent’s “Give Them Lala” podcast, Brittany Cartwright opened up about her post-split life from Jax Taylor, revealing some surprising dynamics surrounding their ongoing co-parenting relationship. The conversation took a turn when Taylor expressed curiosity about Cartwright’s rumored relationship with a certain actor from the Brawny paper towel commercials, sparking questions about boundaries and moving on.
Cartwright, 36, discussed the challenges of co-parenting with Taylor, stating, “The goal is to get to coparenting well. It’s a struggle. Every day is different.” Despite the obstacles, she remains focused on their son, Cruz, who has been diagnosed with autism. “Whenever we only talk about Cruz, it’s fine,” she added, stressing the importance of prioritizing their child’s well-being.
Interestingly, during the podcast, Kartwright revealed how Taylor, 45, inquired if she was dating someone from the Brawny ads. “He’s got to let go of a lot of the control that he thinks that he has over me,” she mentioned, signaling a need for Taylor to accept their changing relationship. As listeners eagerly contemplate what this question signifies for the couple, it showcases the complexities of their past and current dynamics.
Taylor and Cartwright’s relationship has been a rollercoaster, first brought into the limelight on Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules,” where viewers witnessed their tumultuous journey to marriage. Their love story took a significant turn after they announced their departure from the show in 2020. Together, they expanded their family with their son, Cruz, in 2021, but faced increasing challenges that ultimately led to their separation last year. The couple’s struggles were compounded when Taylor revealed he sought treatment for cocaine addiction, sharing candid details about his battle with substance use.
Reflecting on their relationship, Cartwright reminisced about the strong bond they once shared, noting, “He was like my very best friend because I was with him all the time.” The emotional weight of their separation is still palpable as she described the adjustments they are both undergoing. “If we’re fighting, if you don’t get along with the person you’re coparenting with, it makes it extremely difficult,” she admitted, indicating that emotions are still raw.
As the saga of Jax and Brittany continues to unfold, fans are left wondering: What does the future hold for this former couple? Will Jax be able to let go, or will his need for control continue to hinder their co-parenting journey? The answers remain uncertain, but one thing is clear: their story captivates viewers as they navigate love, loss, and the complexities of family.
