Brittany Cartwright Is 'Getting My Sparkle Back' Amid Divorce From Jax Taylor

Brittany Cartwrightis embracing a new chapter in her life shortly after moving to end her marriage to Jax Taylor.

The "Vanderpump Rules" alum recently flaunted a stunning glow, radiating happiness as though to say filing for divorce has been the best decision. While her estranged husband may not enjoy this, her fans certainly did.

Brittany Cartwright filed to officially conclude her story with Jax Taylor on Tuesday, August 27. The legal filing comes months after the pair announced their separation in February.

Following news of her divorce filing, Cartwright updated her Instagram page with a message about regaining her confidence. She implied it was time to let her old self shine, presumably referring to her stunning single era with a sizzling picture.

The 35-year-old flaunted a bold face glam, looking beautiful in a bright pink dress that hugged her body in all the right places. She styled her hair in glamorous waves that cascaded down her shoulders and captioned the snap, "Getting my sparkle back."

The post generated over 100k likes and thousands of comments from fans and fellow reality TV stars. "Temptation Island" alum Kady Cannon Krambeer declared: "The sparkle never left boo," while "Vanderpump Rules" star Scheana Shay echoed: "Shining bright baby!"

While many hailed Cartwright as beautiful, others applauded her decision to leave Taylor and find happiness. "Happy for you, girl!! You always sparkled. You are just sparkling more after getting rid of the trash," a fan boldly declared.

"Heck yes, queen, you deserve way better," another supporter claimed. A third echoed similar sentiments, writing: "You have always sparkled girl!! Just remember you are a beautiful woman and mother."

The criticisms against Taylor continued with an IG user bashing him as egocentric — a claim Cartwright seemingly supported by liking the comment. The individual penned:

"Escaping the cycle of abuse from a narc is the hardest part. The rest is about staying true to yourself and not letting your boundaries be compromised."

"You deserve happiness! Your son deserves a mom who can smile and hold her head high, knowing she fought for her peace. You go, girl," the comment concluded.

Cartwright's "sparkle" post comes shortly after The Blast shared that she had filed for divorce from Taylor. She cited Hollywood's favorite "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split but listed their separation date as January 24, 2024.

This date was surprising because Cartwright and Taylor didn't announce their separation in January but in February. As for her demands, the TV personality wants the court to terminate their rights to spousal support.

She also wants full custody of their 3-year-old son Cruz, while Taylor should be granted visitation rights. It was unclear how her estranged beau would react to her demands as the divorce filing came amid his rehab exit.

Cartwright's divorce filing was an unexpected welcome home gift for Taylor, who recently exited a rehabilitation facility. He checked into the inpatient treatment center for mental health issues following the duo's separation.

The 45-year-old was reportedly excited to focus on his career upon release, but the divorce filing might dampen his high spirits. Taylor and Cartwright's love story began in 2015, with their engagement coming three years later.

They tied the knot in 2019 at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles and seemed to enjoy a blissful marriage until their union turned sour. Cartwright moved out of their Los Angeles home in March, with the film crew for "The Valley" capturing her exit.

A month before Cartwright's divorce filing, The Blast reported that her estranged husband was not returning to the dating scene. Taylor stressed that finding a new flame wasn't a priority while navigating the pair's separation.

The 45-year-old claimed he was family-focused, seemingly leaving the door open for reconciliation. However, when pressed about reuniting with Cartwright, Taylor seemed uncertain, repeatedly saying: "I don't know."

On the other hand, Cartwright showcased her disinterest in a possible reunion by dropping her estranged husband's surname. She removed Taylor's legal last name, "Cauchi," from her Instagram bio, returning to her single name.

Will Jax Taylor respond favorably to Brittany Cartwright's divorce filing, or will the pair pursue a nasty divorce?
