Jax Taylor Shocks Fans by Granting Brittany Cartwright Full Custody of Son Cruz Amid Divorce Rumors
In a surprising twist, Vanderpump Rules alum Jax Taylor has reportedly filed for divorce from Brittany Cartwright and is granting her full custody of their son, Cruz. The couple, who tied the knot in 2019 and welcomed their son in 2021, have been the subject of breakup rumors for months, but this latest development has left fans stunned.
Sources close to the couple revealed that while their relationship has had its ups and downs, the decision to give Brittany full custody of Cruz came as a mutual agreement between the two. “Jax has always been very protective of Cruz, but he feels that Brittany is the best person to raise him right now,” an insider shared. “They want to avoid a messy custody battle and keep things as amicable as possible for their son’s sake.”
While the couple’s split has not been officially confirmed by either party, reports of tension in their marriage have been circulating for some time. Jax’s erratic behavior on social media, including cryptic posts and the deletion of family photos, fueled speculation that all was not well in the Taylor-Cartwright household. However, this latest legal move seems to signal a more definitive step in their separation.
Brittany, who has always been vocal about her love for motherhood, is reportedly heartbroken over the end of her marriage but is focused on doing what’s best for Cruz. “Brittany is devastated, but she’s staying strong for Cruz. She wants to make sure he has stability and a loving environment,” another source close to the couple explained.
Fans have been quick to express their shock and sadness over the news, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts on the situation. “I never thought I’d see Jax give up custody like this. They’ve been through so much together, I really thought they’d make it work,” one fan wrote on Twitter. Others praised the former reality star for prioritizing Cruz’s well-being. “If this is what’s best for their son, then good for them for making the hard choice,” another follower commented.
Despite the drama, both Jax and Brittany have remained relatively quiet about the state of their marriage, leaving fans to wonder what will come next for the couple. As they navigate this difficult chapter, it remains to be seen whether the divorce will be finalized, or if there’s still hope for reconciliation. But one thing is clear: both parents are committed to doing what’s best for their son, no matter what the future holds.
