Brittany Cartwright looked cheerful as she arrived at her ex-husband Jax Taylor’s bar for the premiere of her new Vanderpump Rules spinoff series, The Valley.
For the event, the 35-year-old reality TV star, who announced her separation from her partner after four years of marriage last month, wore a plunging white bodysuit and light-wash blue jeans, decorated with small white pearls.

Brittany Cartwright looked cheerful as she arrived at her ex-husband Jax Taylor’s bar for the premiere of her new Vanderpump Rules spinoff series, The Valley.
Despite her split from Taylor, she told DailyMail.com earlier this week that she was still “very” in love with her “beautiful” husband and hoped to expand their family.
Speaking on The Valley’s premiere night, she said: “I feel like I see Jax across the room and I’m like, ‘He looks so handsome.’ “I still love it a lot. It’s a tough time, isn’t it? It’s still fresh, so yeah, it’s still fresh.
“I don’t even know what it would mean for someone to capture my heart now. I think it’s just, I don’t know. It’s too early to think about it.
She continued: “I still live in an AirBNB. I always take my time for myself, trying to figure out what I want to do, if I want to get back into this relationship or if I decide to do something else.
“And I never, ever thought I would get to this point because I’ve literally been Jax’s ride or die.”
Brittany previously reconciled with Jax in 2017 after it was revealed he cheated on her with their co-star Faith Stowers.
She said she “stayed by his side” during their tumultuous times, but said the continued fighting in front of their young son was the final straw for her to split.
“Everyone knows he hurt me many times and I always stood by him,” she said. “But after I had my son, I think it kind of woke me up and made me realize what I deserve and what he deserves.

“And a happy home is more important than constantly trying to make things work.” Cruz doesn’t deserve to see his parents fight. It’s not good. And Jax is a great dad. He’s just not a good husband.
She continued: “And I’m not perfect either. I was turning into ab**chy Brittany, which is not the case, because everything he did was boring me, driving me crazy.
“We were constantly arguing, and that’s why I noticed it and because of my son, I realized it wasn’t right.”
When asked if she would like to have a sibling for Cruz, with or without Jax, she replied: “Oh, sure. Yeah. One more. One more probably.

The former couple avoided each other, only meeting again during the official press photos, before resuming their distance.
Brittany spent the night with her girlfriends, including co-stars Kristen Doute and Michelle Lally, as well as her publicist Lori Krebs and comedian Heather McDonald.
Jax spent time with executive producer Alex Baskin, Bachelor In Paradise’s Wells Adams, and some of his former Vanderpump Rules castmates, including Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval.
Speaking about his marriage, Jax told DailyMail.com: “We are separated. I don’t want to delve too much into that. I will tell you right now that we are separated.
“Our main concern is our son. And take care of him and make sure he has two happy parents. We have businesses together and that’s basically all I’m saying.
