Brittany will spend the holidays in Kentucky with her family and her son Cruz, three, whom she shares with Jax.
The reality TV star said it will be a “very special” holiday and while she is open to including Jax in her holiday plans in the future for Cruz’s sake, that isn’t in the cards this year as their contentious divorce continues .
She also said there are no plans for a reconciliation or “vacation date” with her ex.

“That ship has sailed,” she said without an ounce of regret.
Last week, Brittany shared three sweet snaps with her three-year-old son Cruz on Instagram this weekend.
They stood in front of a festively decorated Christmas tree with The Valley star, 35, cradling Cruz in her arms.
“I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am forever grateful for this beautiful boy. It’s me forever, Cruz!,” she captioned the post.
The former couple married in 2019 while they were both stars of Vanderpump Rules. They broke up at the end of February, just before the premiere of the VPR spin-off The Valley.
Brittany filed for divorce in August, a month after Jax was released from rehab where he went to address his mental health.
In a recent appearance on Bravo’s hot mic In the podcast, Brittany said she doesn’t feel the treatment has had any impact on him and she doubts he has the capacity to change.
“If you spend seven hours a day in therapy and still find the time to berate me, berate me and send me angry text messages, then obviously you’re never going to change,” she told the host.

In October, it was revealed that Jax had made several mistakes in his response to her divorce filing, which was made without legal assistance.
In a handwritten document obtained by PeopleJax falsely stated that they were not “legally married” and gave an inaccurate timeline of their relationship.
Unlike Cartwright, who listed their separation date as January 24, 2024, a month before they publicly shared the news, Taylor claimed they didn’t officially call it quits until September 26, 2024.
He also appeared to have incorrectly checked an ‘other’ box when it came to determining child support for their son Cruz.”
After fans expressed their confusion over Taylor’s mistakes and discrepancies, Cartwright took to social media to address the mistakes.
“We are legally married,” she wrote in a comment below one from E! News’ Instagram posts. “I guess paperwork is a pain for some people.”
