Brittany Cartwright and her new boyfriend, Brandon Hanson, appear to be going strong amid production on the upcoming third season of The Valley.
As the cast, sans Scheana Shay, 40, who has reportedly not filmed at all for the new episodes, embarked on a group trip this week, sharing plenty of photos and videos on social media along the way, Brittany, 36, reshared an image of her and Brandon from his Story in which the two looked loved up in an arena.
Just weeks into their new romance, Brandon said he was “breezy [with Brittany]” as she took a mirror selfie of the two of them.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight earlier this month, Brittany, who went public with Brandon in August, confirmed she was “dating” as she gushed over Brandon, describing him as a “great guy.”
“We’ll see where it goes … I am very happy,” she admitted.
As for her divorce from Jax Taylor, 46, Brittany said the two of them were “going through it” and having “a lot of ups and downs.”
“[We’re] still not divorced. We have a date. I’m hoping it works out … it’s soon,” she explained.
Also on Brittany’s Instagram Story, she reshared an image from Zack Wickham, 36, who shared a group photo of The Valley cast on a train, saying, “[Gang’s] all here.”
In the photo were Danny, 41, and Nia Booko, 35, Kristen Doute, 42, Luke Broderick, 34, Janet, 35, and Jason Caperna, 41, Jasmine Goode, 38, Michelle Saniei, 36, Jesse Lally, 45, Zack’s boyfriend, Benji, and Jasmine’s fiancée, Melissa.
Lala Kent, 35, and Tom Schwartz, 42, were also featured, but Scheana was not.
As The Valley fans may have heard, it was alleged earlier this month that Scheana hadn’t been filming and likely wouldn’t be seen on season three.
“I’m hearing so far that well, clearly, Lala Kent has filmed … I’m also hearing that Scheana has yet to film,” Up and Adam Live’s Adam Newell shared on Instagram on September 8. “What I’m hearing is that she has not filmed a single scene yet and that’s coming from The Valley cast … That’s coming from people on the cast who are saying this.”
Around the same time, the hosts of the Cocktails and Gossip podcast suggested Bravo was upset with Scheana for comments she made about production in her book.
“I think they felt that she kind of threw production under the bus,” they noted. “[And] it seems to me that Lala, who wasn’t really being mentioned to be on The Valley full-time at least, essentially took her spot.”
