Jax Taylor

Jax Taylor is a reality television personality and former bartender known for his appearances on Bravo's Vanderpump Rules and its spinoff series, The Valley. He rose to television prominence alongside his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, after meeting her in Las Vegas nearly a decade ago.

Taylor and Cartwright spent years documenting their relationship on reality television, including their wedding after five years together. In August 2024, Cartwright officially filed for divorce following a tumultuous decade-long relationship. The split escalated into legal battles, culminating in court filings that included accusations of domestic violence, physical abuse, financial control, and graphic verbal threats, all of which Taylor has publicly denied.

Amid their ongoing divorce proceedings, a judge granted Cartwright a temporary domestic violence protective order against Taylor, ordering him to stay at least 100 yards away while leaving parental rights regarding their son, Cruz, for a future hearing. The high-profile court disputes have also extended to financial matters, with Taylor claiming Cartwright disrupted potential endorsement deals and Cartwright seeking the return of personal items, including her wedding ring.
