It’s been a few months since Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright announced their startling divorce after three years of marriage. The former “Vanderpump Rules” stars have kept a low profile since their split, but now a source close to the ex-couple has revealed the real reason behind their breakup.
According to the insider, Jax and Brittany had been struggling with their relationship for a long time, especially after they moved to Kentucky to be closer to her family. The source claims that Jax felt isolated and unhappy in the rural state, and missed his life in Los Angeles.
“Jax felt like he gave up everything for Brittany, but she still wasn’t satisfied,” the source told Us Weekly. “He felt like he was living in her shadow and he resented her for it. He also felt like she was too controlling and nagging, and he couldn’t take it anymore.”
The source added that Jax and Brittany also had different views on parenting their son Cruz, who was born in April 2021. Jax wanted to raise him in a more relaxed and fun way, while Brittany wanted to be more strict and traditional.
“They clashed over everything, from how to decorate the nursery to how to discipline Cruz,” the source said. “They couldn’t agree on anything, and they started to drift apart.”
But RealityBlurb claimed that Brittany’s wight gain was one of the main reasons for the split.
The source also revealed that Jax had been unfaithful to Brittany multiple times during their marriage, and that she eventually found out about his affairs. The source said that Brittany was devastated and heartbroken, and decided to end the marriage for good.
“Brittany loved Jax with all her heart, but she couldn’t trust him anymore,” the source said. “She realized that he would never change, and that he didn’t respect her or their vows. She had enough, and she filed for divorce.”
The source said that Jax and Brittany are now trying to co-parent Cruz amicably, but that they have no plans to reconcile. The source said that Jax is focusing on his new podcast and his fitness brand, while Brittany is working on her own projects and spending time with her family and friends.
“Jax and Brittany are both moving on with their lives,” the source said. “They have accepted that they are not meant to be together, and they are happier apart.”
