Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright have announced they are taking time apart, revealing the news on their podcast, “When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany.” Cartwright, 35, shared that they have decided to separate for the sake of their mental health, with her moving into another home.

Speculation arose online about whether the split was a publicity stunt for their new show, “The Valley.” However, their representative confirmed exclusively that the breakup is not related to publicity.

While Cartwright did not delve into specifics about the reasons behind the separation, she acknowledged the difficulty of discussing it and emphasized her need for privacy at this time.

The couple, who got married in Kentucky in June 2019 after dating for four years, became known to fans through the Bravo series “Vanderpump Rules.” Their relationship, including its challenges such as Taylor’s past infidelity, was documented on the show.

Details about the cause of the separation remain unclear, and their representatives have declined to comment further. Cartwright, despite her cheerful demeanor on the podcast, requested listeners to keep them in their prayers, expressing hope that everything will work out.

Taylor has not addressed the split directly on social media, and whether they plan to divorce is unknown. “The Valley,” their new reality show, is set to premiere on Bravo on March 19th.
