Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor was forced to refile for divorce after making a big mistake in his initial filing to officially split from wife Brittany Cartwright . Cartwright, 35, filed for divorce in August and then her estranged husband Jax Taylor, 45, submitted his own marriage dissolution request last month. However, rather than getting a lawyer to help with the paperwork, Taylor did it himself — and checked the wrong box.
In the documents, Taylor mistakenly checked a box indicating that he and Cartwright, who tied the knot in 2019, were never legally married. A representative for both of The Valley stars later clarified to Us that it was simply an error on Taylor’s part. “While Jax made errors in filling out forms that are usually done by trained legal professionals, those errors will be amended without delay,” a representative stated to People .
Taylor’s estranged wife publicly hit back at him after news of his blunder. “We are legally married. I’m guessing paperwork is hard for some people,” she wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, October 2, alongside an E! News post about Taylor’s divorce response.
NSYNC’s Lance Bass, who officiated the former couple’s Kentucky wedding, also commented: “Pastor Lance signed the papers.” On Thursday, October 4, Taylor refiled the divorce papers — this time with legal help. Court documents obtained by Us Weekly show that Taylor has enlisted Mark Vincent Kaplan as his attorney, who also represents Britney Spea.
