00:07 Brittany Cartwright is opening up
00:08 on the Vanderpump Rules After Show, March 12th episode
00:12 about the scary emotions she feels
00:14 while going through rough patches
00:16 in her marriage to Jax Taylor.
00:18 I can kinda get, like, how you get into this, like,
00:20 friendship, like, roommate-type situation.
00:23 And then, like, you just feel like you are kinda stuck
00:26 a little bit, not that I am, but, like,
00:28 I feel that way sometimes.
00:29 If me and Jax are going through our hard times,
00:31 like, it can be very hard to separate that.
00:35 Brittany adds that she sympathizes
00:36 with her former castmates, Ariana Maddox and Tom Sandoval.
00:40 The former couple have had to navigate
00:41 a tricky living situation during their very public
00:44 Scandaval relationship fallout.
00:46 Do you want anything?
00:48 For you to die.
00:51 Like I'm thinking, like, am I gonna lose all the stuff
00:53 that I've built?
00:54 Am I, you know, gonna be okay?
00:56 It's very scary.
00:56 It can be very scary, very hard.
00:58 So I understand, honestly.
01:00 Brittany previously announced that she and Jax
01:02 were separating on the February 29th episode
01:04 of their joint podcast.
01:06 Jax and I are taking time apart,
01:08 and I made the decision to move into another home
01:11 to take some space for the sake of my mental health.
01:14 I won't get into too many details right now,
01:17 because this is still very hard to talk about,
01:19 and I'm taking things one day at a time.
01:21 I don't know what the future holds,
01:24 but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz,
01:28 and I love you guys, pray for us,
01:31 and everything will be just fine.
01:33 Brittany shares that it can be tricky
01:34 to navigate relationship changes in the public eye.
01:37 We can put all the happy stuff on Instagram
01:39 that we want to, but people don't really know
01:41 what's going on unless you're with them 24/7.
01:44 Jax and Brittany first met at a Las Vegas bar in 2015.
01:47 After they briefly split in 2017,
01:50 the pair reconciled off-camera,
01:52 and later announced their engagement in June 2018,
01:55 and wed a year later.
01:57 They went on to welcome their son, Cruz Michael,
01:59 in April 2021, months after they announced
02:02 their departure from VPR.
02:04 The split news comes just weeks ahead of the premiere
02:07 of their new Bravo reality show, "The Valley,"
02:10 which documents the couple's life
02:11 in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.
02:14 I don't know how to manage raising a child,
02:15 raising a family, starting a business.
02:17 You're my (beep) husband,
02:18 and you're trying to make me look like I'm a bad person?
02:21 (beep)
02:22 She has a (beep) problem.
