On August 27, a day came that many Pump heads thought would never come: Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce from Jax Taylor. According to “Page Six,†the date of separation was January 24, 2024, a day before Cartwright’s birthday. She is seeking legal and physical custody of their son, Cruz, with Taylor (real name Jason Cauchi) getting visitation. And according to TMZ, we’ll see Jax get served papers on next season of The Valley. Reportedly, both Cartwright and Taylor were filming Tuesday, when a process SURver gave Jax his walking papers.
It truly seemed like we’d never see these two actually split up. What could have happened that was worse than Vanderpump Rules season six, when Taylor cheated on Cartwright with Faith Stowers? While Stowers was doing in-home hospice care? Then ranted to Stowers about how much he detested Cartwright, which Stowers recorded, and which Cartwright played for all to hear at her and Taylor’s housewarming party? When news of the pair’s separation happened to coincide with The Valley’s premiere, some fans suspected the couple of ginning up a Scandoval-esque drama of their own for ratings. But now that the courts are involved, it’s all too real.
