If there’s one word to sum up Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s relationship status right now, it’s messy.
Like, spill-the-tea-all-over-your-favorite-outfit kind of messy. And honestly? We’re eating up every single chaotic detail.
Let’s rewind to the latest chapter of their saga: Jax Taylor just dropped some piping hot tea about their divorce origins during his chat on Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast on November 14. Spoiler alert—it’s not exactly the love story we all dreamed of.
Apparently, Jax was the one who decided to pump the brakes and initiated the whole “we need a mediator” convo while he was in rehab. Yup, rehab.
According to Jax, he emailed Brittany during his second weekend there, saying, “I’m getting a mediator.” And Brittany? She clapped back real quick via email (yes, email!) with, “Oh no, I’m getting a divorce lawyer.” Talk about a mic-drop moment.
Jax spilled more details, claiming that people didn’t realize he was not the one who technically started the process, TheyGossip.com reports.
But Brittany’s response took things to a whole new level, making it crystal clear that she was ready to move full steam ahead with the divorce.
And if you’re wondering, yes, the drama keeps escalating. Jax’s divorce petition apparently needed a redo because…why not add more chaos to the mix? Forget “third time’s the charm”—they’re out here making “second time’s the charm” a thing.
Oh, and let’s not forget—apparently, Brittany had a little entanglement with one of Taylor’s friends. According to Jax, the two were totally hooking up. The messiness doesn’t stop there, though!
Hold on to your tea cups because there’s even more drama brewing in this situation, and trust me, the spice level might just be too hot to handle. You’re gonna want to stay tuned for this one!
How The Divorce Started
It looks like the email Taylor sent was the spark that ignited the divorce, but let’s be real—there were way bigger issues simmering beneath the surface.
He opened up about it, saying he reached out during his second weekend in rehab, suggesting they bring in a mediator.
He thought mediation would be the best move, especially since neither of them was trying to fight over money.
But Brittany wasn’t having it. Instead of agreeing to mediation, she shot back, saying she’d be hiring a divorce lawyer.
Just three days later, Taylor found himself served with divorce papers. Honestly, he wasn’t shocked by her move.
He figured Brittany wanted to make the first public move and get ahead of the narrative while he was still in rehab.
Jax was not fazed by who served papers first. For him, the bigger picture was clear—he knew the marriage was over, and staying together wasn’t an option.
The couple tied the knot on June 29, 2019, and in their four years together, they welcomed their now two-year-old son, Cruz.
Despite the whirlwind of drama surrounding their split, Taylor seems to be at peace with how things unfolded.

Hooking Up With His Friend
Brittany Cartwright’s rumored romance with Jax Taylor’s friend, Julian Sensley, has turned into a messy war of words between the exes.
Things escalated after Taylor shared his side of the drama during the November 14 episode of Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast.
Jax revealed that he first became suspicious when a late-night text from Sensley popped up on Brittany’s phone while they were at his house.
At first, she denied any involvement, but after an hour of pressing, she admitted to the connection. Brittany didn’t shy away from the hookup rumors, saying it wasn’t planned.
She played down the link during her own installment episode of the “Bravo’s Hot Mic” podcast that dropped on Monday, November 11, claiming it was just a one-time fling.
She explained that she wasn’t trying to hook up with one of Jax’s friends, but that Sensley was her type and they’d been flirting for a while.
Despite owning up to the fling, she insisted there wasn’t a rule against dating friends.
Taylor strongly disagreed, claiming they had made a pact during their separation that they wouldn’t date mutual friends.
He also alleged that Brittany sent Sensley explicit pictures in July, even as they were discussing getting back together.
Brittany, however, fired back, saying Taylor had no right to judge since he allegedly broke their shared household rule by bringing people over.
She claimed she caught him twice and was sure there were more times when he brought others into their home.
After Taylor’s comments aired, Brittany teased her response on Instagram Stories, hinting that he was lying by using Pinocchio-style emojis and promising to share her side on her podcast.
As this saga continues to unfold, it’s clear neither side is holding back, and the drama is far from over, so we will make sure to keep you updated on the latest news on the ex-couple!!
