Who Is Brittany Cartwright Dating? Relationship Updates
Fans watched the ups and downs of Brittany Cartwright’s relationship with estranged husband Jax Taylor since she was introduced to fans during season 4 of Vanderpump Rules in 2015. The pair tied the knot at The Kentucky Castle in 2019 and welcomed son Cruz two years later.
Brittany and Jax announced their separation in February 2024 and Bravo viewers watched the final months of their union crumble during The Valley season 1, which premiered later that year.
Since their split, the family matriarch has stayed out of the drama and focused on raising her son. However, Brittany’s summer reportedly heated up after she sparked dating rumors with another reality star.
Who Is Brittany Cartwright Dating?
Over the years, the Kentucky native has made friends with many Bachelor Nation alums.
In July 2024, Brittany celebrated the kickoff of Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette by holding watch parties at Jax’s Studio City bar. The former couple manages the eatery and are the faces of the bar.
A source told Daily Mail that season 20 Bachelorette Charity Lawson hosted the event and the ones that followed for each new episode of the ABC reality dating show. Charity is close to a handful of her former suitors, including Tanner Courtad, whom she reportedly introduced to Brittany at the party.
“Brittany and Tanner have been hanging out together,” the source told the outlet in a story published on August 2.
The two posed for photos at the weekly watch parties that were later shared via Instagram and sparked dating rumors amongst fans.
However, neither Brittany nor Tanner have publicly commented on the relationship accusations.
According to the outlet’s insider, Tanner has been “tagging along as Brittany films The Valley” and “filmed at Dave and Busters with the rest of the cast for Janet [Caperna’s] birthday.”
Eagle-eyed fans wondered if the fitness trainer would bump into Jax during his cameo on The Valley. However, their paths won’t cross for now as the former SUR bartender checked into a mental health facility in July 2024.
Brittany Cartwright Filed for Divorce
Six months after announcing her and Jax’s separation on a February episode of their podcast, Brittany filed for divorce on August 27, 2024. The Valley star cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the divorce and noted that their official date of separation was January 24, 2024.
Brit broke her silence regarding the decision during the August 30, 2024 episode of “When Reality Hits.”
“My decision to file wasn’t made lightly or quickly. It’s taken me many, many years to get to this point where I gained enough courage and strength to do what’s best for me, get myself out of a toxic relationship and ultimately see my worth,” Brittany said. “It’s been very difficult, but I’m stronger than ever … my motivation is my son, my Cruzie, who deserves a happy and healthy mommy. Moving forward, Jax and I will be doing the podcast separately.”
Brittany refrained from divulging too many details because she was currently filming season 2 of The Valley. She said that everything “has been heavily documented on the show.”
Brittany Cartwright’s Single and Ready to Mingle
Photos of the weekly Bachelorette party were posted on the official Instagram account of Jax’s Studio City, and Tanner was next to Brittany in every single one.
On July 23, 2024, Brittany and The Valley costar Zack Wickham posed in the middle of a group photo with Bachelor Nation’s Tanner, Rachel Nance, Lea Cayanan and more.
Brittany, for her part, stood between Zack and Tanner.
“I hope that really good looking guy standing next to Brittany is her date. Girl girl I hope you move on and find you a real man. Praying for you,” one person wrote in the comment section of the post.
Zack cheekily replied to the comment, “I am [Brittany’s date],” with a laughing and tongue-out emoji.
Not to mention, Tanner also commented on the post writing, “Monday the new Friday!”
Brittany’s besties Zack and Kristen Doute reacted to the comment and seemingly gave their approval over his and Brittany’s new rumored romance.
“See now you’re learning LA hahaha,” Zack wrote, leading Kristen to reply with a laughing emoji.
