Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s rocky separation and divorce will be followed closely on Season 2 of The Valley, but now we’re getting new details about what ultimately led to the split and ugly fallout.
In the above preview of Episode 2, Brittany chats with her friend Zack Wickham as her son, Cruz, swims in the pool, and reveals she had recently heard from Jax.
“He texted me this morning saying that he missed his son, and he wants to see him,” Brittany shares.
However, the two aren't on the best of terms since Jax saw that Brittany was talking to his friend Julian Sensley and sending him NSFW pictures of herself — causing him to go into a rage, even though he and Brittany were officially separated at the time.
Brittany shares more in the preview of what Jax was texting her in the aftermath of his blowup.
“He just wrote me and said, ‘All I ask is you check in on me. Show me that you care. If you have time to send that asshole pics, you can check on your husband who’s going through a hard time,’” she reads out loud to Zack, noting, “He will not get over that he saw that I sent Julian pictures.”
Brittany Cartwright accuses Jax Taylor of seeing other women during their separation
Brittany makes another noteworthy statement during the Episode 2 preview: Jax was also seeing other women.
“You’re parading around girls who literally shake their t-ts for money,” she comments to Zack of Jax’s behavior during their separation.
On executive producer Alex Baskin’s Bravo’s Hot Mic Podcast in November 2024, Brittany also accused Jax of breaking their agreed-upon separation rules.
“What we have said is nobody around Cruz, and nobody at our home that we own together that I still pay the bills for that,” she said. “All my photos and my furniture and everything I own is still at that house and my son stays there. Like just please don’t have girls at the house. So those are the rules. I don’t know if he had anybody around Cruz, but he definitely had people at my house.”
Brittany Cartwright and Julian's relationship timeline
Brittany first admitted that she hooked up with Jax’s friend on the aforementioned episode of Bravo’s Hot Mic Podcast, but defended her actions.
“I think that me hooking up with his friend, it wasn’t … planned,” Brittany said on the podcast. “But I also — it was somebody that I felt like I knew, and in our world it’s so crazy because like, how do you trust people? And I was single for the first time in L.A.”
More recently, on The Valley After Show, Brittany stated that she and Julian are no longer seeing one another.
