Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright: Awkward Encounters on 'The Valley' Set Post-Divorce Filing

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright found themselves in a whirlwind of emotions as they filmed 'The Valley' together post-Cartwright's divorce filing. The on-set dynamics were tense, with the former couple visibly avoiding each other amidst the backdrop of rolling downhill in giant plastic spheres, a.k.a zorbing.

Despite the carefree atmosphere, TMZ reported a stark contrast in the moods of Cartwright, exuding positivity, and Taylor, seemingly in a funk. An eyewitness revealed that the two were consciously steering clear of each other, with a friend even intervening to prevent inadvertent closeness.

Amidst the on-set drama, Taylor confided in co-star Kristen Doute about his July rehab stint, attributing it to feeling "out of control." The behind-the-scenes tension was palpable, reflecting the complexities of navigating a professional relationship post-divorce.

Cartwright's divorce filing marked the end of their five-year marriage, following a period of separation. The divorce papers were served to Taylor during filming at their shared sports bar, Jax’s Studio City, adding a layer of real-life drama to the on-screen narrative.

While Taylor is reportedly on board with the divorce, aiming for an amicable co-parenting relationship, both parties are grappling with the emotional fallout. The unexpected end of their marriage has left them saddened, as they navigate the complexities of co-parenting their son, Cruz, born in April 2021.

Cartwright's filing for sole legal and physical custody of Cruz, with visitation rights for Taylor, underscores the challenges of untangling their lives post-divorce. The official separation date, strategically set before Cartwright's birthday, marks a significant turning point in their relationship.

Despite the somber undertones, Cartwright stands firm in her decision, believing it to be the right path forward. The emotional rollercoaster of love, loss, and new beginnings unfolds against the backdrop of reality TV, offering viewers a glimpse into the complexities of modern relationships.
