Brittany Cartwright is ready for her next chapter after filing for divorce from estranged husband Jax Taylor . Shortly after Us Weekly confirmed Cartwright, 35, filed for divorce from Taylor, 45, on Tuesday, August 27, after five years of marriage, The Valley star took to social media to share a message about entering her next era. “Getting my sparkle back,” she captioned a glamorous photo of herself wearing a bright pink dress.
Many of Cartwright’s fans and famous friends rallied in the comments to send their support. “Shine on,” former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay , who is in the middle of her own divorce from Bryan Abasolo , commented. Nia Sanchez , who stars alongside Cartwright and Taylor on The Valley , added, “Yes!! Love you queen Britt,” while her former Vanderpump Rules costar Scheana Shay gushed, “Shining bright, baby.
” Cartwright’s filing comes after the couple has been navigating their bumpy relationship since early this year. In February, they confirmed they were living separately as they figured out their next steps. Per the docs obtained by Us on Tuesday, Cartwright listed their official date of separation as January 24.
She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their divorce. She is seeking primary legal and physical custody of their 3-year-old son, Cruz, with visitation for Taylor. Cartwright does not want the court to award spousal support to either of them.
The divorce filing comes days after Taylor finished a 30-day in.
