Brittany Cartwright reveals she’s “catching feelings” for someone new amid split from Jax Taylor: “I truly don’t like being single” – Teases budding romance and reveals her must-have: ‘He has to love my son’

   

It's official — Brittany Cartwright has a "crush" amid her divorce from her ex, Jax Taylor. The Valley cast member has been open about her dating life since separating from Jax last February, and is now sharing some new details about that part of her life as she navigates dating again.

"I'm having fun," Brittany told Lala Kent during a May 21 appearance on her podcast, Give Them Lala. "I have a crush. Nothing serious. But, yeah. We'll see where it goes."

Although dating is fun for her, Brittany revealed that she does like being in a relationship. "I don't really like being single," she admitted. "But then again, I do have a lot of things I need to work on still, and I need to heal from things."

Brittany continued, noting that the most important quality she's looking for is someone who will respect her and her 4-year-old son, Cruz Cauchi, whom she shares with Jax. "I just want somebody that makes me laugh, is a good time, respects me, is nice to me, like actually treats me like I'm supposed to be treated," she said. "And, you know, obviously loves my family, loves my son eventually."

"Like, it will take me a long time to ever have anybody around Cruz," she noted. "But whoever eventually is in my life will have to be in love with him."
