Brittany Cartwright, former Vanderpump Rules star and fan favorite, has sent shockwaves through her fanbase after a candid confession about her new relationship with Brandon Hanson. In a revelation that has reignited drama surrounding her split from Jax Taylor, Brittany admitted to spending three intimate nights with her new flame while her marriage to Jax was still legally intact.
The bombshell came during a revealing interview where Brittany didn’t hold back about her post-marriage journey. "I won’t sugarcoat it," Brittany began. "Brandon and I had something special, and yes, it happened before the divorce papers were finalized. But by then, my marriage was already over in every way that mattered."
Her statement has sparked a flurry of conversation online, with fans and critics alike dissecting the timeline of her relationship with Brandon and questioning whether Brittany’s actions crossed a line. Some have accused her of betraying Jax, pointing out that the divorce wasn’t official when she began seeing Brandon. Others, however, have defended her, arguing that emotional detachment often precedes legal separation.
Brittany addressed the backlash head-on, making it clear that she doesn’t feel guilty about her choices. "I had to do what was right for me," she explained. "Jax and I were done, and I wasn’t going to sit around pretending otherwise. Brandon came into my life at the right time, and I don’t regret a second of it."
Jax Taylor, Brittany’s ex-husband and fellow former Vanderpump Rules star, has yet to publicly comment on the revelation, but sources close to him suggest he isn’t thrilled about the news. "Jax feels blindsided," an insider shared. "He knows their marriage was rocky, but hearing about Brandon while they were still technically married stings."
Brittany and Jax, who married in 2019 in a lavish ceremony televised on Vanderpump Rules, announced their separation earlier this year after months of speculation about their rocky relationship. The couple had a tumultuous history, with infidelity rumors and heated arguments often playing out in the public eye.
While Brittany has moved on with Brandon Hanson, her confession has reignited interest in the messy dynamics of her relationship with Jax. Fans are now speculating whether there’s more to the story, with some questioning if Brandon played a role in the couple’s split. Brittany, however, insists that Brandon only came into the picture after her marriage was already beyond repair.
"He wasn’t the reason Jax and I ended," Brittany clarified. "Our problems started long before Brandon. I’m just trying to move forward and find happiness, and that’s exactly what I’ve done."
Despite her attempts to put the drama behind her, Brittany’s revelation has become the talk of social media. One Twitter user wrote, "Brittany saying she was ‘done’ with Jax while still married is such a classic reality TV move." Another chimed in, "Honestly, good for her. Jax put her through so much — she deserves to be happy."
As the dust settles, Brittany seems unbothered by the controversy swirling around her. On Instagram, she recently posted a photo of herself and Brandon smiling at a beachside dinner, captioned with a simple heart emoji. The post has garnered thousands of likes, with fans flooding the comments to show their support.
Whether you see Brittany’s actions as bold or controversial, one thing is clear: the Vanderpump Rules alum is determined to live life on her own terms, no matter what anyone else thinks. And with her new romance heating up, it seems Brittany is ready to leave the past behind and embrace her next chapter.
