It seems like the drama never truly ends for former Vanderpump Rules stars Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor. Their divorce, which began some time ago, is still proving to be a complicated and drawn-out affair. Brittany recently opened up about the ongoing challenges, revealing that financial disputes and the family home are major sticking points.
The House That’s Holding Up the Divorce
According to Brittany, the primary reason their divorce is taking so long is the unresolved issues surrounding their shared home. She expressed her desire to move things along, especially for the sake of their son, Cruz, hoping to maintain stability for him. With another court date looming in July, Brittany is keeping her fingers crossed for some progress.
She shared with Entertainment Tonight, “That’s why our divorce is taking so long, by the way: The house.” Brittany’s commitment to keeping Cruz in a stable environment is clearly a driving force behind her efforts to finalize the divorce proceedings.
Tax Troubles and Co-Parenting Hurdles
Adding another layer to the financial entanglement, Brittany claimed she’s been making monthly payments to cover Jax’s tax liabilities. This, she explained, is part of her effort to ensure their son, Cruz, remains in a stable and happy home. It’s a significant financial burden that she’s apparently shouldering while navigating the separation.
However, Jax Taylor’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has pushed back against these claims. In a statement to ET, Kaplan firmly denied that Brittany is paying any of Jax’s tax debt, asserting that the home remains community property. This public back-and-forth highlights the contentious nature of their financial disagreements.
Moving Forward After the Split
Beyond the legal and financial battles, Brittany also touched on the difficulties of co-parenting with Jax. She admitted that it’s “not easy,” but emphasized that both parents are committed to putting Cruz first. This shared goal is crucial as they navigate their new reality as co-parents.
In her personal life, Brittany has started to explore dating again after her previous relationship with Brandon Hanson. While the divorce proceedings continue to be a challenge, she seems to be taking steps towards her own future.
