Brittany Cartwright Files For Divorce From Jax Taylor 6 Months After Their Separation

Brittany Cartwright is ready to close the chapter on her marriage to Jax Taylor!

The reality couple, who separated about six months ago, is now heading towards putting the final nail in the coffin of their union. Cartwright sighted irreconcilable differences in the divorce filing.

Brittany Cartwright's filing comes after her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, left rehab to focus on his new Bravo reality show "The Valley" and their son.

The mother-of-one cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split after five years together as a couple.

She listed January 24, 2024, as the official date of their separation, as opposed to February, when they publicly announced the news to fans and followers.

The estranged couple share a 3-year-old boy, Cruz, and Cartwright is requesting primary legal and physical custody of their son. However, Taylor is free to visit Cruz anytime.

The reality star also wants to block the court’s ability to award spousal support to either side, per TMZ.

Cartwright's divorce filing could not have come at a more interesting time. Her estranged husband just left his inpatient treatment center, where he checked in for mental health issues following their separation.

Taylor was fired up to focus on his career upon his release from the treatment center, but this recent development may dampen his high spirits. The estranged pair's relationship began in 2015, and Taylor got down on one knee in June 2018 at Neptune's Net in Malibu.

They tied the knot in 2019 at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky, and lived happily until cracks began appearing in their union, as shown in the first season of "The Valley."

Back in March, a film crew was spotted outside their former home in Los Angeles. The Blast reported that the team was on the ground to capture Cartwright as she packed her luggage out of their home.

Although the move was tagged a publicity stunt for their upcoming spin-off show "The Valley," Cartwright appeared serious with her move.

She was spotted with a suitcase at her feet while chatting to members of the crew. The cameras reportedly kept on rolling as she retrieved more of her belongings from the home.

All this went on in Taylor's absence, as he was later spotted running errands around town in a branded ensemble for his new Studio City restaurant.

Cartwright discussed her separation from Taylor in an episode on her podcast right before she moved out of their joint home.

"I just think it's important to be real and honest with you guys because our life is definitely — we've shared so much of our life with you guys," she declared and then added, "So, I feel like … I don't want to seem like I'm lying or anything like that, so I think it's important for me to say this."

The 35-year-old admitted that they have had a rough year in the marriage and have decided to take time apart, move into another home, and take needed space for the sake of her mental health.

She clarified that the separation was amicable and implored fans to send their prayers as they navigated the difficult phase of their marriage.

"I'm taking one day at a time. I don't know what the future holds, but right now, my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz, and I love you guys. Pray for us, and everything will be just fine. We're good," Cartwright concluded.

Apart from their irreconcilable differences, The Blast reported that the estranged couple also allegedly lost their spark in the bedroom.

Cartwright discussed their intimacy problems on an episode of "The Valley" and noted that they had experienced a significant decline in their bedroom business, which was once passionate.

She reflected on the beginning of their relationship, where they had sex all the time, 24/7, and "didn't miss a day."

"And then it has just changed dramatically. I'm talking, like, twice in the past year. You know the old Westerns when the tumbleweed rolls around? That's our sex life. I am the old tumbleweed," explained the reality star.

Taylor took the blame for the loss of romance between them, stating that he "let that spark fizzle" and that it was not fair to his wife, who deserved to have a man love her.

Will Brittany Cartwright And Jax Taylor's divorce become contentious? Only time will tell.
