Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are making headlines yet again, but this time it’s not for their reality show antics—it’s for Jax’s messy divorce filing! The “Vanderpump Rules” star refiled for divorce after his initial paperwork contained a blunder of epic proportions: he accidentally claimed that he and Cartwright were never legally married. Oops!
Taylor, who first submitted the divorce documents on his own, handed full custody of their 3-year-old son, Cruz, to Cartwright in the process. Brittany wasted no time clapping back, taking to Instagram to sarcastically set the record straight, writing, “We are legally married. I’m guessing filling out paperwork is hard for some people.”
Jax’s filing was riddled with errors that his new legal team is now scrambling to fix. Despite the chaos, his rep insists the couple has “long resolved” custody issues and are focusing on co-parenting Cruz. Still, the drama feels all too familiar—especially after Jax recently completed a mental health treatment program and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD.
Cartwright, who initially filed for divorce, explained on their podcast, When Reality Hits, that she finally found the strength to leave their “toxic relationship” after years of struggle. Meanwhile, Jax is reportedly “100 percent on board” with the divorce, aiming to keep things amicable—for now.
With these two, we’re never sure what’s next. Let’s just say, paperwork isn’t the only thing getting messy here!
