Jax Taylor is no longer on The Valley, but his presence is felt every week thanks to his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright. She is always bringing him up, talking about how he ruined her and what she lost because of him. Now, he has slapped her in the face with his new lady love. So, who is it? Keep reading for more details on what is currently known.
Jax Taylor Knows How To Give A Dig
The entire time that Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright were together, it was a hot mess. Yet, there was something about him that she just could not keep away from. Before Season 1 of The Valley, the couple parted ways, but they still had problems. They shared a home in the valley and a son, Cruz, who they revealed had autism. Then, Jax’s two-decade-long cocaine problem came to light; he went to rehab, but he never seemed to get better. After Season 2, he exited the show.
Brittany did have a few men that she dated, but was only serious with one. That ended, and she is just enjoying being single. As for Jax, he just stepped out with their publicist, Lori Krebs. A few years back, rumors flew that they were caught in Canada together. It seemed that Brittany would have been pressed about this, but she seemingly ignored it. Moreover, Brittany continued to work with Lori, but this must have struck a cord. She just fired Lori amid the romance photos.

Jax Taylor was seen cuddling in the water and dining with Lori Krebs while vacationing in Mexico. Many of the Vanderpump Rules and The Valley stars had worked with her. That may all change now that she committed the ultimate betrayal.
How Could Lori Do This?
An insider close to the Jax Taylor/Brittany Cartwright situation had this to say about what is going down:
“When the Jax-Lori rumors first started swirling two years ago, Brittany chose to believe Lori that nothing was going on. She continued to work with her and trust her, and this is how Lori repays her?”
Hopefully, one of The Valley cast members will be on WWHL soon to give their insight. At the same time, fans have seen this and miss having Jax Taylor on the show. They know that he was good drama and made The Valley somewhat entertaining.
