Vanderpump Rules star, 45, recently confirmed that he has been struggling with a “sensitive time” in his family. His representative disclosed the news on Tuesday, July 30, stating that Jax has been open about his mental health struggles in recent months on his podcast and has decided to seek inpatient treatment. The rep emphasized that this is a particularly sensitive time for him and his family.

Brittany also addressed their relationship on their podcast, “When Reality Hits,” in February, announcing their separation. She expressed the importance of being honest with their audience, given how much they have shared their lives with their fans. In June, Jax revealed on their podcast that he had found an “amazing” doctor with whom he could discuss his “serious, serious anger issues.”

He also shared that he and Brittany were living separately and exploring the possibility of dating other people while trying to figure out “what works for us” amid their separation. The couple began dating in 2015, became engaged three years later, and tied the knot in Kentucky in June 2019.
