Jax Taylor Has ‘Mixed Emotions’ About Brittany Cartwright’s Divorce: Report

Jax Taylor is reportedly dealing with “mixed emotions” following Brittany Cartwright’s recent divorce filing.

According to an insider, Taylor acknowledges that the split is ultimately the right decision but remains saddened by the outcome. “It’s been an emotional month for him, and he’s trying to stay strong for his son,” the source told People on Tuesday.

The insider also noted that Cartwright felt filing for divorce was necessary for the best interest of herself and their son. “There’s a lot that has transpired over the past few months that she could not look past,” the source added. “This decision wasn’t made lightly but she feels adamant that it was the right one.”

Cartwright, 35, filed for divorce just over five months after she and Taylor, 45, publicly announced they were “taking time apart” to reevaluate their relationship. She has requested primary custody of their 3-year-old son, Cruz, and asked that both parties be barred from receiving spousal support.

Cartwright has consistently stated that she wants to provide the best environment for Cruz since moving out of their shared Los Angeles home in February. In their shared podcast, “When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany,” she said, “I’m taking things one day at a time. I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz.”

She echoed similar sentiments in March, telling TMZ that Taylor was “not really trying,” prompting her to take a stand for both herself and their son. “I’ve asked him for a while to do certain things and nothing has come from that,” she explained, adding, “Whenever you fight with somebody for so long, there’s only so much you can take, and you know, I deserve better, Cruz deserves better.”

In April, Cartwright emphasized the importance of Cruz’s well-being when addressing concerns from social media trolls. Meanwhile, Taylor has not made any public comments on the divorce filing.

Since late July, Taylor has been focusing on his mental health by seeking treatment in a rehab center. He recently shared a heartfelt photo with Cruz on his Instagram Story, captioning it, “Trying to get better for you buddy, daddy loves you so much.”
