Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor and estranged wife Brittany Cartwright join Sophia Bush as they lead celeb guests at White House Correspondents’ Garden Brunch
Former Vanderpump Rules players Jax Taylor and his estranged wife Brittany Cartwright enjoy being guests of DailyMail.com during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner weekend.
The Valley stars — who announced their split in February — kept their distance on the red carpet on Saturday as they made their entrance to the previous White House Correspondents’ Garden Brunch in Washington, DC.
The reality stars were joined by One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush – and her new partner Ashlyn Harris – along with SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher and The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper.
Jax, 44, wore a blue on blue jacket with a matching blue shirt and contrasting black pants and sneakers.
Brittany, who shares three-year-old son Cruz with Jax, looked like a breath of fresh air in a sleeveless off-white dress with a lace skirt with asymmetrical hem, which she paired with matching heels with a strap around her ankle.

This is the first White House Correspondents’ Dinner that Vanderpump Rules alumni have attended.
Ahead of the event, the duo both expressed their excitement about taking part in DailyMail.com, with father-of-one Jax saying: ‘I’m really looking forward to attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. This will definitely be a highlight of my life and an incredible evening.”
Brittany added, “I am honored to be invited to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner! This will be an unforgettable evening and I am so excited to be there with so many wonderful people.”
The event comes two months after the duo stunned fans with the news that they were splitting after four years of marriage and a total of nine years together.
One Tree Hill alum Sophia Bush, 41, attended the event with her friend, former professional soccer player Ashlynn Harris, 38.

The Good Sam star paired the dress with a pair of black strappy sandals with a thin strap over her toes and another around her ankle.
Ashlynn, meanwhile, looked beautiful in a pale pink double-breasted suit with gold buttons on the jacket.
