The Valley cameras have picked back up to film additional scenes for season three following the reveal of Jax Taylor‘s controversial romance with Lori Krebs, the publicist he and his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, once shared.
Although the cast has already filmed their reunion, producers have resumed filming to capture their reaction to Jax, 47, and Lori’s romance, which was made public earlier this week after they were caught canoodling while celebrating Jax’s birthday in Mexico.
The Hollywood Reporter shared the news on July 15, confirming that Jax, who left the show after season two, had not filmed.
As fans may have heard, Brittany, 37, reportedly fired Lori, whom she defended as a “very, very good friend” and an “amazing publicist” after rumors first began swirling about Jax and Lori in 2024, soon after TMZ shared photos of the two of them together.
Meanwhile, regarding when their romance actually began, insiders told TMZ that Jax and Lori began to grow closer to one another several months ago, insisting that there was no overlap with his relationship with Brittany. They also said that Jax and Lori bonded over their divorces and raising autistic children.
If you recall, Brittany opened up about her and Jax’s son, Cruz, being diagnosed with autism last year.
Additionally, sources shared that because Lori is also sober, she’s become a support system for Jax in his own recovery journey.
According to the outlet, Jax and Lori didn’t expect their relationship to be made public when it was, and had been planning to keep it to themselves while they figured out what it would mean for not only the two of them, but also for those around them.
The Valley season three airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
