While confessing that it’s “not easy,” Brittany Cartwright is trying her best to work out a coparenting plan. She and her estranged husband Jax Taylor share a nearly 5-year-old son, Cruz Cauchi.
The Valley stars welcomed their son on April 12, 2021. Three and a half years later, Brittany filed for divorce in August 2024. Currently, Brittany has primary custody of Cruz, while Jax gets biweekly visitation. They have yet to finalize their divorce.
The former couple are “working on the coparenting situation”
“We’re working on the coparenting situation,” Brittany recently told Us Weekly. “We’re trying to make it better. It’s not easy.”
“There’s just so many different things that go into it where it’s not the best,” she added. “But it is better than it was two years ago. That’s a plus.”
Even though she doesn’t plan to move, Britt is “working on getting the house appraised” for legal reasons. “Everything should be good to go after that,” she said.
Brittany intends to stay in the house she and Jax bought together, since it represents stability for their son. “That’s my house,” she emphasized. “[Cruz] loves that place; I love that house. I’ve been taking care of everything by myself for a very long time now, so I’m proud of that.”
Jax and Britt’s divorce will continue to be documented in The Valley Season 3, even though Jax has left the building. In July 2025, the Vanderpump Rules alum announced his departure in order to focus on “my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting relationship.”
For her part, Brittany is relieved she won’t have to deal with Jax and his anger issues in Season 3. Last Season “was very dark because there was a certain someone who was there,” she explained. “Now he is not on Season 3, it is already a lot lighter … Obviously, there’s still gonna be drama, but there’s so much more lightness and fun and funny things that we get to do.”
The Valley airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams the next day on Peacock.
