Just a few weeks ago, Brittany finally revealed the reason behind their split in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, insisting it had nothing to do with their return to reality TV in The Valley, where the duo are settling into their new lives as parents documents. of a toddler.
Instead, she explained how the birth of their first child Cruz in 2021 made her reevaluate her marriage to controversial Vanderpump Rules villain.
“Jax is Jax, whether he’s on TV or not, that’s something everyone needs to understand,” she said.
“So for me it was kind of standing up for myself. “Having a child has really woken me up and lifted the veil on what I deserve and what I will have to put up with for the rest of my life,” she continued.

“And I just knew that I had to… figure out what I wanted to do for my future and make it a super positive living situation for my son. That’s all I care about.’
