Jax Taylor is ready to return home after seeking help at a mental health facility last month.
The 45-year-old Vanderpump Rules star plans to leave the inpatient facility later this week, sources close to him said. TMZ on Mondays.
His current plans are reportedly to leave on Thursday, August 22, and then return home to Los Angeles.
Sources added that Jax is looking forward to spending quality time with his three-year-old son, Cruz, whom he shares with ex-wife Brittany Cartwright, who recently sparked romance rumors with a former Bachelorette suitor.
DailyMail.com has contacted Jax’s representative for comment.
Jax Taylor, 45, plans to leave a mental health treatment facility on Thursday, sources close to him told TMZ on Monday; pictured in April in Washington, D.C.
He is said to be most excited about spending time with his three-year-old son Cruz (pictured). Jax will also return to work on The Valley, but only when he is ready as it is not a major priority.
Although Jax is looking forward to spending some time together with Cruz, there are no signs of any rapprochement between him and Brittany.
Sources close to him said he plans to return to the family home, where he had been living before entering the treatment center, but Brittany will continue to live nearby in a property she has been renting recently.
In addition to spending as much time as possible with Cruz, Jax is also reportedly eager to get back to normal after having his life turned upside down during treatment.
Part of getting back to her previous routines includes going back to work, although sources said it is not one of her top priorities.
Jax has missed much of the filming for season two of The Valley, the Vanderpump Rules spinoff series he and Brittany headline alongside fellow Vanderpump Rules alum Kristen Doute and several newcomers, since it returned earlier this summer and continued while he was away receiving treatment.
Although Brittany and the rest of the cast continued on without him, he will reunite with them in front of the cameras once he leaves the facility.
However, he will not be in a hurry to appear on camera again until he is fully adjusted to the rest of his personal life.
Sources added that Jax plans to reveal the details of what led to him needing to enter inpatient treatment in the first place, but will take his time before sharing.
They indicated that viewers can expect a particularly touching episode when he is ready to talk about what has been going on in his personal life.
Earlier this month, Jax confirmed reports that he had checked into a mental health treatment facility with a touching Instagram post for his son Cruz.
The former Vanderpump Rules star shared a sweet photo of himself holding the three-year-old while giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Late last month, a rep for Jax shared with TMZ that he was “seeking inpatient treatment” for “mental health issues.”
“I’m working on getting better for you, my friend. I love you ,” she lovingly wrote in the caption.
Cruz seemed happy to spend some time with his father, as he flashed a soft smile for the camera while munching on an apple.
On Tuesday, a representative for Jax shared with TMZ who was “seeking hospital treatment” for “mental health issues.”
“Jax has always been open about his mental health struggles, especially over the past few months on his podcast,” they shared.
“He has made the decision to seek hospital treatment. This is an especially sensitive time for him and his family. They ask for privacy and respect until he is ready to speak further on this matter.”
The decision to seek help came after a worrying visit by police to the home where Jax had lived with his wife Brittany Cartwright for some time following their split in February, although she later moved into an Airbnb after tensions between the two became too high to overcome.
He was reportedly seen speaking to police officers, who were carrying a brown envelope, before heading to the gym to work out.
Earlier this month, DailyMail.com revealed that the California Franchise Tax Board had placed a lien worth $35,239.88 on their $1.9 million Los Angeles home.
The tax lien was filed on June 12 of this year.
Brittany previously said that she was responsible for all of the household bills, while Jax was the one who took care of the mortgage payments.
DailyMail.com contacted Cartwright’s representatives at the time, who declined to comment.
According to documents detailing the lien, “further interest and fees will accrue” until it is paid in full.

The couple’s $1.9 million Los Angeles home was hit with a $35,000 tax lien in June.
Last month, Jax detailed some of the strategies he and Brittany were working on in hopes of saving their marriage, including therapy, on his podcast When Reality Hits.
Brittany and Jax’s relationship dates back to 2015, but they hit a roadblock in 2017 when he admitted to having an affair with his Vanderpump Rules co-star Faith Stowers.
The couple eventually reconciled and got engaged the following year, before tying the knot in Kentucky in 2019. They welcomed little Cruz in 2021.
Following their dismissal from Vanderpump Rules in 2020, the couple began documenting the dissolution of their marriage earlier this year on the spinoff series The Valley, which also stars another Vanderpump Rules alum, Kristen Doute.
