Vanderpump Rules alums Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright announce separation

Brittany Cartwright initially alluded to her marriage with Jax Taylor going through a rough patch on February 22 via When Reality Hits podcast, which sparked separation rumours on social media. Just a week later, the statement was followed by confirmation of the couple taking a break from each other in the podcast episode released on Thursday, February 29. The Vanderpump Rules alum said:

"Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health."

Though Brittany noted it was hard for her to speak about her marital issues, she expressed wanting to be honest about questions and rumours surrounding where her relationship stands with Jax. The Vanderpump Rules alum added:

“We’ve shared so much of our life with you guys. So, I feel like ... I don’t want to seem like I’m lying or anything like that so I think it’s important for me to say this."

The Vanderpump Rules star reassured fans she’s “taking one day a time” while navigating through the rough patch. What's notworthy is that Brittany only announced the couple’s taking some time apart from each other, there haven’t been talks of a legal separation brought to the fore as of yet.

In addition, Brittany asked fans to “pray” for the couple implying that there’s scope for reconciliation in the future. The Vanderpump Rules alum continued:

“I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz and I love you guys. Pray for us and everything will be just fine. We’re good.”
