Jax Taylor takes another swipe at ex Brittany Cartwright with shock marriage admission
'I think about it now, and I just don't personally think I am supposed to be in a relationship,' Taylor said. 'I just don't think I'm supposed to be married. You know, I've known this my whole life.'
He made this admission on the May 1 episode of his podcast In the Mind of a Man, in answer to a fan's question about dating again.
'I met Brittany and I thought, okay, maybe things are gonna be different. I love her and I want to be with her, and I — this is what you should do, you know?,' the Vanderpump Rules alum said.
'And deep, deep, deep down inside, I've always known that I just... I was never the person to get married.
And yet, Jax married Brittany Cartwright, 36, had Cruz with her, and never stopped partying or doing cocaine. He never settled into the relationship.
When the question of whether he'll date again was asked, Taylor said, 'I don't wanna answer that question because I don't know. As of right now, absolutely not.
'The person wasn't the problem,' he explained. 'Like, Brittany wasn't the problem — I'm the problem ... I get bored being in relationships. I don't wanna be in a relationship. I just don't like it.'
Jax went so far as calling himself 'the farthest thing [from who a woman] should date.'
'That's why I'm doing this tour, people, to show you I am the walking red flag. I am what you stay away from.
'Don't go anywhere near a guy like me,' he said of his upcoming live podcast tapings.
'And if I can help other girls stay away from men like me, then you know what? I've done my job.'
He continued, 'I feel like this is my job, is to go out there, talk about my sobriety, talk about my mental health, talk about the struggles that I've had with drugs and alcohol, and also to help women stay away from men like me. I feel like that's what my goal is right now.'
The podcast came out soon after episode two of season two of The Valley dropped in which his friends did an intervention on him and begged him to get help or Brittany wouldn't let him see their son.
Meanwhile, Brittany did not hold anything back when asked to assess her ex's bedroom abilities on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live with her co-star from The Valley, Luke Broderick.
The aftermath of their relationship - which ended in August 2024 when she filed for divorce - has played out on this season of The Valley, which airs Tuesdays on Bravo.
Cartwright responded with a smile, opening with, 'Oh, lord. There was times when he was about a 7 or an 8.'
However, she added with a laugh, 'But majority of the time, no stamina, no nothing. A two or three.'
Cartwright and Taylor first started dating in 2015, two years after Bravo's Vanderpump Rules debuted.
They got engaged in June 2018 and tied the knot in 2019 in Brittany's home state of Kentucky, and then welcomed son Cruz in April 2021.
The couple shocked the reality TV world when they split, with Cartwright citing, 'irreconcilable differences.'
A month after her filing, Taylor revealed he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD, and announced he was checking himself into a rehab facility.
'The person wasn't the problem,' he explained. 'Like, Brittany wasn't the problem — I'm the problem ... I get bored being in relationships. I don't wanna be in a relationship. I just don't like it'; Brittany seen in March 2025
When asked on WWHL if there was ever any chance she would get back with Taylor, Cartwright insisted, '100% no.'
She admitted, 'I had weak moments, for sure. I was with him for ten years. Obviously, I loved him. And want nothing but the best for him.'
However, she added, 'But he has damaged our relationship far too much to go back,' and added the current state of their relationship was, 'not great.'
She also admitted that she's not, '100% sure' that Jax is sober now, though she said, 'I really hope he is sober.'
'His personality is still very much a Jax Taylor personality, so it's a lot of ups and downs,' Cartwright admitted.

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel pictured with newborn baby for first time
Reality TV stars Abby and Brittany Hensel have been spotted with a newborn baby, leading to speculation that they've grown their family Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have been spotted with a newborn baby, leading to speculation that they've decided to grow their family. The 35-year-old twin sisters were seen carrying the infant in a car seat before carefully making sure the baby was secured in the back of the vehicle. The siblings then spent some time chilling out at the back of the Tesla boot before leaving the car park in Arden Hills, Minnesota. It comes after rumours began circulating last year that they were pregnant with their first baby. The pair are yet to confirm whether the baby is their own and the teacher sisters now prefer to stay out of the spotlight. Abby and Brittany shot to fame back in 1996 when they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show at the tender age of six-years-old. This initial exposure led to huge public interest, before they bagged their own TLC reality show, Abby & Brittany. The series documented their lives as they graduated from college and entered the complex world of adulthood as conjoined twins. Abby tied the knot with Joshua Bowling in 2021 and is already a stepmum to his daughter Isabella from a previous relationship, but has also previously expressed her desire to expand their family. "We're going to be moms," Brittany said in Joined for Life: Abby & Brittany Turn 16 in 2006. "We haven't thought about how being moms is going to work yet." Abby and Brittany are dicephalic parapagus twins, which means they share one torso to which their two heads are joined, and they also share one pair of legs. Abby, who is on the right side of the body, controls the right arm and leg, and Brittany has control over the left limbs. Conjoined twins are very rare, but the Hensen sisters are even more unusual because they are really pretty symmetrical compared to other conjoined twins. They have always been really candid about their unique shared lives, and recently posted a video on their TikTok page, which saw a doctor explain how their joined anatomy actually works. "Abby and Brittany Hensel's anatomy is a remarkable blend of shared and individual organs and tissues," the video they shared by molecular biologist Hashem Al-Ghaili explained, "The twins each have their own distinct upper body systems. Abby and Brittany have two heads, two brains, two spinal cords, and two hearts, which are part of a shared circulatory system." Despite having the same blood circulation system, their brains and spinal cords are their own, which means they have to work in tight-knit coordination to carry things, get places, or drive a car. The pair previously opened up on their reality TV show for TLC just how painstaking the coordination has to be on a minute-by-minute basis. "We have two licenses," Abby said back in 2012, "When we got our driver's licenses, we each had to take the test. We both passed." Brittany explained that they both have to steer, but her sister was the one in charge of the brake and acceleration pedals. Despite having their own hearts, brains, spines, and four lungs, the sisters share one set of reproductive organs. When they were children, their parents were offered the possibility of separation surgery, but they turned it down, because it was unlikely that both their daughters would have survived.

Patrick Mahomes reveals secret ingredient that makes his marriage to wife Brittany work
has claimed his wife Brittany is 'just as competitive' as him as he gushed about his wife in a new interview. While the Chiefs quarterback and three-time Super Bowl winner has had a historic start to his NFL career, Brittany was formerly an athlete in her own right as well as the pair attended Whitehouse High School together. The now mom-of-three starred as a soccer player at the Texas school and later went on to play collegiately at the University of Texas at Tyler. She even played professionally for one season in Iceland. And while her soccer (playing) career is now over, her husband recognizes that their shared competitiveness is a major boon for their marriage. 'There's no better feeling than having someone by your side who is just as competitive as you and supports you in everything you do,' the quarterback told People. He added of their time together in high school: 'Whether it was her in soccer or me in football or baseball, we both understood the level of commitment it takes.' Aside from raising their three children together, Brittany and Patrick have also teamed up as co-owners of NWSL team the KC Current, who debuted last March. The couple welcomed their most recent child, Golden Raye, back in January, and Patrick recently beamed about how his wife handled the pregnancy of the couple's second daughter. 'Brittany crushed it. I was watching playoff games the entire day. She went to labor after one game,' Patrick Mahomes recalled in a clip of new ESPN documentary 'The Kingdom' which aired on the latest episode of 'Good Morning America.' 'Baby was here before the next game, so I didn't even miss a playoff game. So, she is as locked in as I am as far as football goes.' The couple welcomed their first child, Sterling Skye, in 2021 before their son, Patrick III ('Bronze') was born the following year. Brittany and Patrick also got married in March 2022 after his Chiefs lost to the Bengals in the AFC Championship. Back in July, the family-of-five enjoyed some time together in Mexico ahead of yet another grueling NFL season. In one photo, a beaming Mahomes sat alongside his wife and their children on the couch of their vacation home in one of the pictures and held Golden Raye up for the photo. In another, the Chiefs passer was seen holding hands with Bronze as they walked down a path on the holiday resort. Mahomes is now back training with the Chiefs as they prepare for their first game of the season on September 5. He played sparingly in Kansas City's preseason opener against the Cardinals last week, and did not appear against the Seahawks on Friday.

Conjoined sisters Abby and Brittany Hensel spotted carrying newborn baby
Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have been pictured carrying a newborn baby one year after their secret wedding was revealed. Images show the pair, 34, holding the baby in a car seat near a car in Arden Hills, Minnesota, on Thursday. They were last in the public spotlight a year ago after it was revealed Abby had married dad-of-one Joshua Bowling three years before in 2021. Joshua shared a wedding day picture on his Facebook, showing the couple with Brittany. The family already sparked pregnancy rumours in December after they shared an uncaptioned video on Tiktok featuring a series of fake 'breaking' news headlines referencing them. One of the headlines read 'Shocking Tragedy', while another said: 'What if one dies?' The final headline, showcased at the end of the video, read: 'Married & baby on the way,' leading fans to speculate if the twins used the clip to soft-launch a pregnancy. Abby and Brittany are yet to confirm any pregnancy. The two shot to fame on reality TV and first appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996 when they were just six-years-old. They now work as teachers in Minnesota and are the rarest conjoined twins because they come from a single fertilised egg that failed to fully separate in the womb. The pair have two brains, two spinal cords and two hearts, but share organs from below the waist. More Trending Abby controls the right arm and leg and Brittany controls the left. In a previous documentary about their life, the pair said: 'People have been curious about us since we were born, for obvious reasons. 'But our parents never let us use that as an excuse. We were raised to believe we could do anything we wanted to do. 'The most amazing thing about us is we are like everyone else.'
