Brittany Cartwright is breaking her silence regarding her estranged husband Jax Taylor and his relationship with their former publicist, Lori Krebs.
During a recent interview with Zack Wickham on the “When Reality Hits” podcast, Brittany, 37, hinted that she plans to disclose her side of the story when she’s good and ready. The discussion aired on Friday, July 17, and fans were eager for her take.
“Right now, all I can say is that I will share my truth — the real truth — when the time feels right for me,” Brittany remarked. “At present, my focus is on myself and the most precious thing in my life, my wonderful son. My priority is to safeguard my son and maintain my peace, but rest assured, I will soon be recounting [my experience].”
The Valley star alluded to the evolving situation, adding, “I think everyone has a pretty good idea of what’s happening.”
Jax, 47, was married to Brittany for five years before they separated in 2024. They share 5-year-old son Cruz.
Us Weekly exclusively confirmed earlier this month that Lori was recently spotted with Jax in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to celebrate his birthday. An eyewitness claimed that the duo packed on the PDA at the Hotel Mousai pool one day and told individuals that they were both “happily divorced.”
An insider told Us earlier this week that Brittany was caught off-guard by the photos. According to the source, Brittany questioned for years whether there was more than a professional relationship and friendship between the two.

“Brittany had her suspicions for years but always trusted that Lori had her best interest at heart and believed she wouldn’t do such a thing,” a source exclusively told Us of Brittany. “There were rumors about them for years and Brittany always brushed them off. She always had Lori’s back and trusted her. They were very good friends and did not have a typical professional relationship.”
The insider told Us that Brittany felt “extremely betrayed” over the surprise romance and Jax and Lori’s PDA pictures.
“It’s very upsetting to her and she is sick to her stomach over it,” the insider added. “She is shocked that photos surfaced and that they are out in public. Lori was with Brittany through dark days.”
Brittany and Jax wed in 2019 during their time on Vanderpump Rules. The former couple departed the show in 2020 before taking their marriage to The Valley in 2024. When the show’s second season aired earlier this year, fans watched Brittany and Jax’s marriage crumble.
As of April, their divorce had yet to be finalized as they were working toward amicably coparenting Cruz.
