Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor are prioritizing their son despite their ongoing divorce. On August 27, Cartwright, 35, initiated divorce proceedings after five years of marriage, seeking primary custody of their 3-year-old son, Cruz. A source close to the situation revealed that Cartwright’s primary concern is her child’s well-being as she and Taylor work towards establishing a cooperative co-parenting relationship.
“This decision has been a long time coming,” the source noted. “Brittany recognized that she needed to take this step for her own and her son’s future, aiming to end the ongoing conflict.” Meanwhile, Taylor is experiencing a blend of emotions. Although he acknowledges the necessity of the separation, he is saddened by the outcome and is striving to remain strong for Cruz during this challenging period.

The couple’s focus is now on fostering a positive co-parenting dynamic. “Their goal is to become amicable co-parents, and this process is a crucial step towards that,” the source added. The couple’s representative has yet to provide a comment.
Documents indicate that the couple officially separated on January 24, with Cartwright citing “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for divorce. Earlier this year, Cartwright disclosed on their podcast, When Reality Hits, that they were taking a break due to the strain on their marriage and her mental health. She moved into a separate home to manage her well-being, expressing the difficulty of discussing the breakup. “I’m focusing on being the best mother to Cruz,” she stated, taking things one day at a time.
