Jax Taylor ADMITS He Hit Rock Bottom After Brittany Cartwright Split and Walks On Eggshells Around Her!

Jax Taylor is heading into Season 2 of The Valley with plenty of personal baggage — and he’s not hiding it. The Bravo alum is opening up about his split from Brittany Cartwright, his journey to sobriety, and the dark spiral that followed their separation, all while preparing to appear on-screen with his estranged wife in the new season of the Bravo spinoff.

In a recent Us Weekly cover story, Jax Taylor admitted the situation with Brittany remains tense. “Every day is something different. I’m walking on eggshells,” he confessed, adding that his top priority is co-parenting their 3-year-old son, Cruz.

“I want us to say, the marriage didn’t work, but we’re great parents and have a beautiful son. Nothing else matters.”

The 45-year-old reality star also reflected on his past struggles with addiction, revealing that he recently marked 100 days of sobriety after a relapse last year. “I was in my house by myself for months. I wasn’t eating. I was drinking and doing enough cocaine to kill a small horse,” he told Us Weekly.

“It’s sickening to me. My parents did not raise this kind of person.”

Jax, who has been open about his mental health struggles including bipolar disorder and PTSD, said he’s committed to getting back on track — even launching a new podcast and preparing for a 12-city speaking tour titled In the Mind of a Man, kicking off April 18.

While he’s focusing on personal growth, Brittany isn’t exactly sold on the new version of her ex. In a statement to People, she said, “His behaviors are still alarming and his treatment plan seems to be the bare minimum.”

On Instagram, she echoed her frustration more bluntly, posting a bikini selfie with the caption: “Me not giving a s***.”

As if the tension wasn’t enough, Jax also responded to a fan’s question about whether his multiple nose jobs were due to past drug use. “No,” he laughed on his podcast.

“I didn’t like the way my nose was — I really didn’t.” He explained that he broke his nose walking into a glass door while filming Vanderpump Rules and later had a third procedure to fix a bump.

The former couple, who married in 2019 and separated earlier this year, continue to live very separate lives despite co-starring on The Valley.

Brittany filed for divorce in August 2024 and was granted full legal and physical custody of their son.

Fans can expect to see the cracks in their relationship play out when The Valley returns Tuesday, April 15 at 9/8c on Bravo.
