At the time, the lovebirds announced the news of their split following rumors of marital problems.
When they broke up, Brittany admitted, “Jax and I are taking some time apart and I have made the decision to move to another house to get some space for the sake of my mental health.”
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.

Brittany also admitted that the couple came under financial strain when they were fired from Vanderpump Rules in 2020 – which contributed to rifts in their marriage

“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.’

And in another shocking twist: Yesterday, DailyMail.com reported that Brittany and Jax had plans to expand their family before splitting.
During a chat with former co-star Scheana Shay about pregnancy plans, Brittany was asked if she and Jax were considering a sibling for Cruz.

Jax and Brittany first met in Las Vegas in 2015. Their budding romance was featured on Vanderpump Rules and their spin-off Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky.
Their love proved to withstand the trials of Hollywood and continued to blossom after they stepped away from the cameras in 2020.

“I am thrilled to be attending this year’s White House Correspondents Association dinner as a guest of DailyMail.com,” said Vanderpump.
