Since leaving The Valley, Jax Taylor seems to be a new man.
According to an insider, Jax no longer lives in the bachelor pad next door to his buddy Tom Schwartz. He’s moved to “another home,” while remaining “close” to his four-year-old son with his ex-wife Brittany Cartwright.
Jax Taylor reportedly stays sober and “even stopped smoking weed”
“He’s doing really well. Jax has been sober now for over one year and 3 months,” a source told Us Weekly. “He has even stopped smoking weed, and it’s been six months.”
According to the source, Jax has “completely transformed his life” and is “the healthiest he’s ever been.”
“He doesn’t go out and is very intentional [about] who he spends his time with,” the source continued. Furthermore, Jax “lives a very quiet life and spends a lot of his time with Cruz and close friends that are on a similar path.”
“Everyone around him has really seen the transformation,” the insider concluded. “Him and Britt have been co-parenting well recently.”
That’s really good news. Fans watched as Jax and Brittany’s relationship deteriorated until she finally moved out in February 2024. That summer, Jax completed a 30-day mental health treatment program, but Brit served him with divorce papers soon after he returned.
While going through the mental health program, Jax was forced to confront his issues with drugs and alcohol. He later admitted that he’d been dealing with a cocaine addiction for years, which unfortunately fueled his anger issues.
Later that year, Jax announced that he wasn’t returning to The Valley for Season 3. Instead he was choosing to to focus “on my sobriety, my mental health and coparenting.”
“Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself — especially for our son Cruz,” he said at the time. But he later clarified that his exit from the show was only temporary.
“This is not goodbye,” he explained. “This is kind of just a pause on things.”
The Valley is now streaming on Peacock.
