"Vanderpump Rules" has lost two more stars. Married couple Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright announced they will not be returning to the popular Bravo show. Taking to their individual social media platforms on Friday evening, the duo dropped the big bombshell. "Vanderpump Rules," which first aired in 2013, is centered around the bartenders and waitresses of Lisa Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurant, Pump.
Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, who are expecting their first child, will take time off to focus on their baby.
The news comes just months after "Vanderpump Rules" OGs Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute were fired following a racist incident that was brought to light. Brittany Cartwright announced she was pregnant in September, adding one more expecting mama to the "Pump Rules" family. She joins Stassi, Lala Kent, and Scheana Shay, who are all pregnant with their first children.
Jax Taylor and his bride of one year dropped the news they would not be back for season nine at the very same time.
