Brittany Cartwright is speaking up about Jax Taylor’s romance with their once-shared publicist, Lori Krebs.
Chatting to Zack Wickham on the Friday, July 17 episode of her “When Reality Hits” podcast, Brittany, 37, vowed to share how she really felt about it all when the time was right.
“All I’m going to say about this at this moment is I will be speaking my truth — the truth — on this matter very soon whenever I’m ready,” Brittany said. “As of right now, I am focusing on me and the most important thing in my life, which is my beautiful son. And as of right now, I’m just trying to protect my son and my peace and very soon I will be telling [my story].”
The Valley star added, “I mean, I think everybody kinda understands what’s going on.”
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.
