Brittany Cartwright explained how she protects her son, Cruz, from his father, Jax Taylor‘s demons.
The Valley starlet chatted with Glamour about the current state of her relationship with her estranged husband/baby daddy.
“Some days are better” with Jax. “I think things are better without his drinking and his cocaine use. I do believe that’s better.”
“But, his personality is still the same. [Jax is] trying not to yell at me and stuff, but he still to this day is like, ‘Who are you talking to? Do you have guys?’ Questioning me about my personal life, if I’m dating, and stuff like that. Then, he’ll start an argument with me about that.”
“I have Cruz the majority of the time.” Brittany randomly drug tests her ex, who recently admitted to having a cocaine and alcohol addiction. “I have a pack of a hundred drug tests at my home that I’ll spring up on him any moment to make sure. Just trying to protect Cruz at all costs.”
“The co-parenting thing has been difficult, because it’s hard when you don’t trust somebody. But, I do believe that Cruz’s dad needs to be in his life as long as he stays sober.”
According to Brittany, “Jax might come over and try to pick [Cruz] up and take him to the park or to a Sky Zone or something like that.”
“That’s kind of the majority of what Jax’s involvement is.”
“He doesn’t help me financially, or anything really. I mean, here and there, but nothing compared to what I do.”
