Former Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright have announced that they are currently separated and are “taking some time apart” after four years of marriage.
Brittany, 35, announced the news this week on their joint podcast When Reality Hits, confirming: “Jax and I are taking some time apart and I made the decision to move to another house to take some space for the sake of my mental health”.
The beloved Bravo stars tied the knot in a fairy tale-themed wedding ceremony in June 2019 in Kentucky after a year-long engagement.
But it seems the fairy tale is over for now.
“A lot of you have been asking me about Jax and I and our relationship,” Brittany said in the podcast episode released Thursday.
Former Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright have announced that they are currently separated and are ‘taking some time’ after four years of marriage.
The star, who shares two-year-old son Cruz with Jax, 44, added: “I think it’s important to be real and honest with you because we’ve shared so much of our lives with you.” ‘
Brittany then specifically referenced some issues the couple has been having.
‘In my last podcast I alluded to the fact that many marriages go through difficult times. Yes, marriages in general are very difficult and I had a particularly difficult year last year.
She went on to suggest that they had now temporarily separated, saying: “Jax and I are taking some time apart and I made the decision to move to another house to take some space for the sake of my mental health.”
Admitting that it’s “still very difficult to talk about the split,” she added that she’s simply “taking it one day at a time.”
“I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mother to Cruz,” Brittany added.
