After addressing Jax’s “cozy” pic with his publicist and insisting they weren’t staging a fake split to promote their new Vanderpump Rules spinoff, The Valley, on last week’s episode of When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany, Jax, 44, and Brittany, 35, seemed to be living their lives in completely different homes.
“The upcoming stars of The Valley, [Jax Taylor] and [Brittany Cartwright], have been rumored to have been living apart!” Taste of Reality on Instagram shared with their fans and followers on February 25. “Instagram super sleuth @CouchBoundRealityTV discovered that the social media content the former [Pump Rules] stars posted this weekend was recorded in two different homes.”
“If you look at the pools – they are in [two] different locations,” the added. “Also this am, Brittany posted a pic of her in the other house on her way to church!”
Meanwhile, on the Instagram page of Couchbound Reality TV, additional information and screenshots were seen, one of which featured Jax and Brittany’s 2-year-old son Cruz playing near the pool of their $1.9 million home.
“Yesterday morning on Jax’s story he was ‘getting fueled for a long day of fun with mom and dad’ with Cruz in their backyard. A quick look over at Brittany’s story shows her about to watch some Netlflix. If you look at the pools – they are in 2 different locations,” the outlet stated. “Also this am Brittany posted a pic of her in the other house on her way to church?” the page asked.
“Are we being trolled by Jax trying to control the narrative and get some buzz going on before [The Valley]?” the page continued. “Let me know what you think! Some of this information is coming from the Blocked by Jax Reddit if you’d like to check them out – they have eyes everywhere. Also from various content creators and a pair of eyes following for a long time! Pics from Britany and Jax’s Saturday instastories.”
On their podcast last week, after insisting that their publicist was a “very good friend,” Brittany spoke of couples needing space.
“Marriage is hard and people go through ups and downs all the time, and it’s completely normal. Sometimes people might need their space; sometimes they won’t. But I just think that the media takes things and runs with it without knowing the true facts,” she admitted.
She then denied claims of a publicity stunt.
“We filmed The Valley months ago, months and months and months ago and we’re super excited for this to come out, and there’s been so many changes that has happened in every single couple’s lives, every single couple on the show. So I just want to make that very clear,” she added. “No publicity stunts are happening here.”
The Valley season one premieres on Bravo this spring.
