Brittany Admits That She Still Thinks About Jax's Past Infidelity on 'The Valley'

Just when you thought the days of Jax Taylor cheating rumors were over, his and Brittany Cartwright’s marriage is in trouble. Never mind the fact that they’re the stars of a Vanderpump Rules spinoff, The Valley, or that they’ve fought tooth and nail to prove that they would work out despite Jax’s misdeeds early on in their relationship.

Because now, both on and off The Valley, there are rumors about Jax cheating on Brittany during their marriage. Although they’re reportedly living separately right now while remaining married, it's no secret to fans that things are murky between Jax and Brittany, and these rumors aren’t helping anything.

As a surprise to literally no one, Jax had not publicly admitted to infidelity in his marriage. But during an appearance in Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, he confronts former co-star Katie Maloney about spreading rumors about him cheating. She admits that she told mutual friends about a “blind item” she read that was allegedly about Jax. However, Jax denies that he cheated on Brittany.

On The Valley, Brittany admits that, due to their lack of intimacy and a lack of attention and general affection from Jax, she sometimes wonders if he’s cheating on her. She admits that the idea of Jax cheating is still often in the back of her mind because he was unfaithful to her before, even if it was years ago.

Fans of Vanderpump Rules remember Jax being unfaithful to Brittany well before their nuptials. In a now notorious scene in Season 6 of Vanderpump Rules, Jax admitted to hooking up with their former co-star Faith Stowers. Brittany and Jax even temporarily split up because of it. And it’s something that Brittany hasn't just forgotten about, despite years passing since Jax admitted to sleeping with someone else.

One of the rumors about Jax cheating stems from a photo that Jax shared on Instagram in February 2024, which showed himself and his publicist, Lori Krebs, looking more than comfortable with one another, according to some fans. When Jax spoke with Entertainment Tonight at the April 2024 White House Correspondents' Dinner, the rumor about his publicist was brought up, and Jax immediately shut it down.

“That was all just hearsay, and it's just a shame that that happened,” he told the outlet. “But yeah, no, nothing happened there.”

Jax also shared that he and Brittany are “just trying to figure things out.” If that's the case, then viewers might see what actually led to their separation play out on The Valley, though it doesn't appear to be something that stemmed from Jax cheating.

Although there has been no word of Brittany and Jax divorcing, the couple seems to be embracing their separation, or at least one of them is. On May 25, Jax was spotted grabbing lunch with Paige Woolen at the Granville Cafe in Los Angeles, according to People. The two had spent some time together the day prior at the Oaks Bar in Sherman Oaks.

Brittany, on the other hand, shared a post of herself at the end of May 2024 wearing a t-shirt with the words "My boyfriend is out of town," written across the front. It's unclear if Brittany is seeing anyone during her split from Jax, though she mentioned to Us Weekly in April that "it's weird to even think about dating."

While the future of Jax and Brittany's relationship is uncertain, we will keep you informed as new details emerge.
