The Valley star Brittany Cartwright allegedly has a new man, Will Gittens, amidst her ongoing divorce from Jax Taylor. A few days ago, Brittany posted some Instagram Stories with a mystery man while in New York. Her companion kept his face covered in the snaps, but it still looked like a hard launch. Now we know that man was mostly likely Will, who is a singer. Here’s everything we know about Brittany’s reported new man and their relationship.
Brittany Cartwright spotted with Will Gittens amid Jax Taylor divorce
On May 27, Page Six broke the news that Brittany and Will are casually dating. This came after she was spotted attending one of Will’s shows in Los Angeles last month. Along with her longtime friend and Valley co-star Zack Wickham.
Brittany, Zack, and Brittany’s rumored boyfriend Will Gittens appeared in a video posted on JB Entertainment’s Instagram page. It appeared to be from an afterparty of Will’s show. In the video, Will is talking to Brittany while Zack stands nearby. The single mom appears to be positively beaming, smiling and listening intently to what Will says.
In addition to this video, Brittany and Will also have some telling Instagram activity. They follow each other on the social media app, and frequently like each other’s posts.
However, a source close to Brittany claimed Will is “just a friend” and that she’s not seriously dating anyone. Another source told Us Weekly that they “aren’t exclusively dating,” but that it’s “casual and Brittany’s having a lot of fun.”
Brittany herself has yet to confirm or deny anything. But Page Six also got confirmation that Will is the mystery man Brittany’s spoken about during some recent podcast appearances.

Brittany Cartwright gushed about dating a mystery man on Lala Kent’s podcast
Earlier this week, Brittany gushed about a mystery man, confirmed by Page Six to be Will Gittens, on Lala Kent’s Give Them Lala podcast. Brittany told her friend and co-star that she’s “having fun” and has a “crush,” but emphasized it’s nothing serious.
While talking about Brittany’s dating life, Lala said she likes “the guy who you fell straight on your ass out of the shower [with], and you guys laughed, and he still wanted to be with you after.”
Brittany laughed and elaborated on the story. “We were in the shower, butt naked, and it was like I slipped on a banana peel. Like, ‘Whoo!’ I went straight back, and he thought I was gonna hit my head. Oh, it was so embarrassing, but then the way that we laughed about it was so cute.” She also said he tried to catch her, but she was too embarrassed.
“I like it,” Lala said, “And I like him. He’s talented.” Brittany agreed. Lala then promised to move on before she shared too much about the mystery man’s identity.
Elsewhere in the podcast episode, Lala and Brittany got real about how bad Brittany and Jax’s marriage was. We’ve seen this a lot on both seasons of The Valley.
Brittany also talked about that on another podcast appearance, The Nikki and Brie Show. When asked if she was dating after divorce, Brittany said yes. And gushed that it was going great.
“I just hadn’t had attention or affection in my marriage for, like, a long time, so I lost a lot of confidence,” she explained. Brittany said the new romance helped her “feel beautiful again” She added that it “really helped my confidence come back.” Depending on how things go, maybe we’ll see Brittany’s rumored new boyfriend on Season 3 of The Valley!
The Valley is available to stream on Peacock. The show streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
