Divorce is never easy and reality TV star Brittany Cartwright recently echoed the same sentiment. In an exclusive interview with US Weekly, published on September 18, 2024, Brittany opened up about her marital woes after nearly a decade of a relationship with Jax Taylor.
Given the length of their time together, Cartwright shared her emotional state as she made the difficult decision to file for divorce from her estranged husband. She said,
“It has been such a roller-coaster deciding to separate… It’s just been a roller-coaster of emotions; a lot of ups [and] a lot of downs… so this took a lot of courage and a lot of strength for me to actually go through with it. I don’t think that he ever thought that I would go through with it”.
She also revealed in the interview that she still held hopes of reconciling with Jax shortly before their legal separation. Reflecting on her efforts to save their crumbling marriage, Brittany added,
“I really thought that we would be able to… get back together… I really wanted to try everything I possibly could to save my marriage and keep my family together… I never thought that I would be divorcing him. I always thought we would be together forever”.
Brittany And Jax Hope To Remain Amicable After Divorce
In a recent appearance on the former couple’s podcast, When Reality Hits, Jax opened up about the emotional toll of his divorce from Cartwright. He shared his struggles during this challenging time and expressed a desire for an amicable split. He said,
“It’s been a really, really rough week. Anyone that has gone through a divorce will understand how difficult this is… I’ll always love and care for Brittany… All I want for us is to be amicable and even hopefully really, really good friends”.
The Valley star filed for divorce on August 27, 2024, in a California court, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. According to the legal paperwork, Brittany and Taylor had originally separated back in January 2024.
In her filing, Cartwright requested that the court terminate any spousal support for both parties. Additionally, she is seeking sole primary custody of their infant son, Cruz Michael Cauchi.

However, after five years of marriage, Brittany has filed for divorce, and the finalization of their split is still pending.
