Brittany Cartwrightthe relationship with Jax Taylor has always been difficult, and the Vanderpump Rules The star says she’s reached another low point.

Talk with Tom Schwartz on her podcast, “When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany,” on Friday, May 24, she called her relationship with her husband “not great.” Cartwright announced their separation after four years of marriage in February this year.

“Right now… I can’t even stay in the same room with him for very long,” she said. “Last time you were here… you were saying, ‘I forgot you were even separated.’ So it’s very up and down like that.

Schwartz, who is friends with both Cartwright and Taylor, said it seemed, from his perspective, that both “do a good job respecting each other’s boundaries.”

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s love story wasn’t exactly a fairy tale leading up to their breakup in 2024.

Cartwright disagreed. “He didn’t do a good job with mine, that’s for sure,” she said. “But we must not forget that it is me who lives elsewhere and… I have the impression that it is me who takes all the hard blows even if it is me who had to leave.”

Schwartz tried to distance himself from his feuding friends, if not physically, then mentally.

“I’m using transcendental meditation right now,” he joked. “I went to another place. I’m back in Florida, I’m on the beach, I have a very cold Corona Light in my hand, a shot of Patrón and I’m happy.

Cartwright and Taylor had a falling out in the latest episode of The valley, broadcast on Tuesday, May 21. Cartwright was resting her room, saying she felt sick. She heard Taylor imply to her friends that she was sick because she had a drinking problem.

“Jax had just walked in, like, ‘I bet she drinks, I bet she drinks,’ and she wasn’t. All my friends were like, ‘No, she’s not,’ and he was kind of putting me down in front of all my friends,” she described. “That’s something you’ve probably seen in our relationship. Jax doesn’t mind fighting with me in front of people.

She continued: “I walked out of that room, they hit me in two seconds and I spat my heart out.”

Cartwright and Taylor are still co-parenting their son, Cruz, 3, and Schwartz has observed an important factor between the two parents.

“I’ve never seen an ounce of toxicity around Cruz, which I admire,” he said.

Cartwright agreed, adding that even when the two aren’t speaking, they will put their differences aside to talk about their son.
