Beverly Hills, California – December 06: Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright attend Los Angeles Confidential x Hornitos x GLAAD People’s Choice Celebration at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills on December 06, 2022 in Beverly Hills, California. Six months after *The Valley* stars announced their separation, Cartwright filed on Tuesday, August 27, listing their official date of separation as January 24. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their divorce, according to court documents. She also requested that spousal support be terminated for both parties.

TMZ was the first to report the news. The reality TV star, who wed Taylor in June 2019, had previously revealed on February 29 during an episode of their joint podcast, *When Reality Hits*, that she and Taylor were going their separate ways. “I know on my last podcast, I alluded to many marriages going through rocky times,” she said. “Yes, marriages in general are very hard, and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year.

Jax and I are taking time apart, and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.” She added, “I’m taking one day at a time.”
Taylor appeared to address his decision to seek treatment by sharing an Instagram Story of himself kissing Cruz on the cheek, captioning it, “Trying to get better for you buddy, daddy loves you so much.” Cartwright and Taylor—who first met in 2015 at a Las Vegas bar, briefly split in 2017, and got engaged in June 2018—have long been candid about the “ups and downs” of their relationship. “We’re still going through it … [but] we’re in a great place now — probably better than we’ve ever been.
