Brittany Cartwright Defends Son Cruz Amid Split from Jax Taylor

Cartwright and Taylor welcomed Cruz in April 2021 and announced their separation in February on their podcast, "When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany."

Reflecting on the situation, Cartwright shared, "I'm taking things one day at a time. I don't know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz."

Recent sightings of Cartwright and Taylor together at events like the White House Correspondents' Garden Brunch suggest an amicable relationship as they navigate co-parenting. They also came together to celebrate Cruz's birthday in April.

While Taylor has expressed intentions of working on himself to win Cartwright back, recent reports of him spending time with model Paige Woolen indicate a complex situation that continues to unfold.

In a subsequent interview with TMZ, Cartwright elaborated on the reasons behind their split, stating, "I've asked him for a while to do certain things and nothing has come from that. Whenever you fight with somebody for so long, there's only so much you can take, and you know, I deserve better, Cruz deserves better."

Despite the challenges, Cartwright remains committed to creating a positive environment for Cruz, emphasizing the importance of shielding him from any conflicts.

Reality TV star Brittany Cartwright has taken a stand against critics who have raised concerns about her 3-year-old son Cruz's well-being following her split from Jax Taylor.

In a direct message shared on her Instagram Story, Cartwright expressed her frustration, stating, "You guys can reel in the drama of my life I don't care but leave my innocent son's name out of it! Don't act like you know anything about him watching 30 mins of a show recorded last summer."

She continued, "I do everything I possibly can for him so how dare some of you!? ENOUGH he is a perfect and innocent child and I will not have strangers acting like they know what's going on in his life. Talk about me, talk about his father, I don't care but enough is enough!"

While Cartwright did not specify the exact comments that prompted her response, a source close to her revealed to People that she is hurt by remarks concerning her son's well-being.

The insider emphasized Cartwright's unwavering commitment to prioritizing Cruz's happiness, despite the challenges she is facing in her personal life. Both Cartwright and Taylor have been praised for their co-parenting efforts during this difficult time.
