On Tuesday’s episode of See what’s happening live With Andy Cohen, Jax Taylor discussed his ongoing separation from his wife, Brittany Cartwright.
Despite rumors about the reason for their split, Taylor took responsibility for the strain on their relationship, citing personal issues exacerbated by the pandemic and the loss of her roles Vanderpump Rules.
Taylor confessed that their sex life had declined and attributed this to the immense pressure he was under. “I want to take the blame for that,” Taylor admitted, addressing the decline in intimacy with Cartwright. “I’m just going through a lot of things with my mental health at the moment. It’s a really hard process.”
Taylor cleared up any misunderstandings and clarified that infidelity was not a factor in their breakup. Instead, he emphasized the importance of communication breakdowns in their marriage. “It’s strictly a communications thing,” Taylor reiterated. “Until I can fix myself or get to where I want to be, I can’t be good for them.”
Despite their breakup, Taylor emphasized the friendly dynamic of co-parenting. “Right now we are cordial,” he noted. “We see each other every day, we take our son to school together every day, we go to swimming class, we go to soccer and we do everything.”
Reflecting on recurring conflicts, Taylor acknowledged his shortcomings, particularly his problems with temper and impatience. “There’s a long, long list of things,” he admitted, underscoring his commitment to seeking help.
In response to questions about Cartwright’s drinking habits, Taylor offered a nuanced perspective. While he acknowledged that he might be being too critical of her, he humorously remarked, “She’s married to me, so I guess that’s probably why she drinks a lot.”
Cartwright announced their separation by Taylor in February and The valley star replied by pick up the cameras to absorb the consequences for the end of his first season. Midst Rumors about the reason for their separationCartwright addressed the situation In an interview with ET, she admitted that she had reached her “breaking point” with Taylor.
“I want to be very clear that this is not a publicity stunt. I think that would be the most despicable way to publicize your show, so I want to be very clear that that’s not the case here,” Taylor told ET in a separate interview. “People go through difficult things in their marriage, we try to figure things out a little bit. But that doesn’t stop us from working together. We are adults.”
Then, during a performance Watch what happens live with Andy Cohen, Cartwright shared that a “terrible fight” led to the breakup, explaining: “It was as if a veil was lifted and I realized everything was wrong.”
“It got to the point where we were arguing about everything, at that point it could be about anything,” she said. “It was just a very toxic situation that I had to extricate myself from.”
I spoke to ET last month At the White House correspondents’ dinner, Taylor said he was working on things with his estranged wife.
“We’re just trying to figure things out,” Taylor admitted in all seriousness. “I gave you real time, I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m definitely working on myself right now.”
Regarding rumors of infidelity, Taylor explained, “No, no, and everyone just assumes that there’s infidelity and cheating in a breakup. Believe it or not, there are other reasons too. I know I don’t have the best track record, but no. “It was just a communication thing.”
Reflecting on the split, Taylor admitted: “The split was definitely good for me, but I miss her. I miss her a lot. So, I don’t know, we’ll see if she takes me back.”
