Following reports that Jax Taylor was seen out with model Paige Woolen, Brittany Cartwright sent a poignant letter regarding her marriage.
On Sunday, May 26, Cartwright, 35, posted a video to Instagram Stories with the caption, “Watching The Valley With Someone Who Is Shocked by Jax Taylor.” The woman in the video seemed appalled by what Taylor had done on the Bravo series, which debuted in March.
Cartwright wrote, “Thank you, and just imagine what I’ve been through behind closed doors.”
Taylor, 44, was pictured out to lunch with Woolen, 32, the day before. While strolling around Los Angeles, Woolen and Taylor both wore casual all-black ensembles. On Saturday, May 25, the two were reportedly at the Granville Café for three hours.
The Highs and Lows of Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright Throughout Time
Following a five-year marriage, Taylor and Cartwright separated in February. The divorcing pair has a 3-year-old kid named Cruz.
On Friday, May 24, Cartwright, in conversation with Tom Schwartz, star of Vanderpump Rules, opened up about the current status of her and Taylor’s relationship in her podcast, “When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany.”
“Right now … I can’t even be in the same room with him very long,” Cartwright admitted, referring to Taylor. “Last time you were here … you were like, ‘I forgot you guys were even separated.’ So it’s very up and down like that.”

She went on to claim that Taylor “hasn’t done a good job” of respecting her boundaries amid the separation.
“We gotta remember I’m the one that’s living elsewhere,” she added. “I feel like I’m the one that’s taking all the hard hits even though I was the one who had to leave.”
While they are separated in real life, Bravo fans have been watching Cartwright and Taylor’s relationship unravel as new episodes of The Valley premiere each week. The show’s May 21 episode featured a huge fight between the couple.

During a cast trip, Cartwright was in her room after feeling sick. Taylor alleged that her illness was because she has a drinking problem.
“Jax was just going in, like ‘I bet she’s drinking, I bet she’s drinking,’ and I wasn’t. All my friends were like, ‘No she’s not,’ and he was kinda putting me down in front of all of my friends,” Cartwright said during Friday’s podcast, reflecting on The Valley episode. “That’s one thing you’ve probably seen in our relationship. Jax doesn’t care to fight with me in front of people.”
Despite their separation, the two have continued to coparent their 3-year-old son, Cruz.
“We both are very respectful of that,” she said of their son. “That is always No. 1 and most important.”
