The couple, who were together for nearly a decade, experienced a turbulent breakup that sparked numerous speculations and public interest.

There were signs of trouble before their split, including Cartwright removing Taylor’s last name from her Instagram bio and rumors that the “Vanderpump Rules” star’s poor performance in the bedroom contributed to their split.

Despite the talk, Jax Taylor remains true to his commitment to his family and prioritizes his family’s well-being over diving into the dating scene.

The reality TV star was recently asked about his relationship status after being spotted at LAX airport on Monday. Taylor stressed that dating is not a priority for him, revealing that his priorities lie with his loved ones, especially after weeks of business travel.

This has seemingly put his relationship on hold, but the future with his estranged wife remains uncertain. While The Valley star admitted to coping with the breakup, he has not ruled out the possibility of a reconciliation.

However, when pressed for a reconciliation, he remained tight-lipped, repeatedly saying, “I don’t know,” leaving the door open for a possible rekindling of their romance.

At the same time, TMZ asked the TV star about the rumors circulating about him and model Paige Woolen. He stuck to his previous stance and firmly denied any romantic relationship, insisting: “We’re cool.”

Despite the attention he receives from women at professional events, Taylor stressed that he sees it as enthusiasm from his fans.

Taylor’s hope for reconciliation stands in stark contrast to his former partner’s actions. In March, The Blast reported that Cartwright had removed the 45-year-old’s legal last name, Cauchi, from her Instagram bio, indicating a significant change in their relationship status.

Her bio was originally “Brittany Cartwright Cauchi,” but it was changed to “Brittany Cartwright.” She emphasized her Kentucky heritage with the phrase, “Just a Kentucky girl living in a beautiful world.”

Cartwright also briefly mentioned her son with Taylor, her podcast “When Reality Hits,” and her reality TV show “The Valley.” These updates suggested that Cartwright was focusing on her roots and her career.

It’s worth noting that prior to Taylor’s recent statements, a reconciliation between the former couple seemed unlikely, with the model claiming he and Cartwright had moved back in together after she initially moved out.

However, a source close to the couple revealed that the two are still living separately and the mother of one has moved into a new home after her short-term lease expired.

The insider contradicted Taylor’s statements and stressed that the couple is “not on the road to reconciliation.” They also mentioned that Cartwright’s visit to their shared home was simply to pack her things before moving into her new rental apartment.

A month after Cartwright removed her ex-boyfriend’s last name from her Instagram bio, she revealed intimate details about her troubles in the bedroom, according to The Blast.

In an episode of her Bravo show, The Valley, Cartwright opened up about the significant decline in their once passionate relationship. Reflecting on the early days of their relationship, the mother of one lamented the drastic change, explaining:

“When Jax and I first met, it was great. We had sex all the time. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I mean, we didn’t miss a day. And then it changed dramatically. I mean, in the last year we’ve done it twice. You know the old westerns when the tumbleweed rolls around? That’s our sex life. I’m the old tumbleweed.”

Taylor also acknowledged his role in the fading spark between them, confessing, “I think it’s safe to say that the romantic spark just isn’t there right now.”

The actor took responsibility, adding: “I will take the blame, yes. I let that spark go out. It’s just not fair to any of us. It’s especially not fair to my wife. She deserves a man to love her.”

Apart from her intimacy issues, the 35-year-old also revealed the moment that marked the end of their relationship.

In a candid conversation with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Cartwright claimed that her decision to spend an evening with her friend and co-star Kristen Doute sparked Taylor’s anger.

The reality TV star said: “We had just had a terrible argument and it was like a veil had been lifted and I realised everything was wrong. You know, they always say a woman can reach her limits and it’s hard to come back from that.”

She found that after this confrontation, their relationship fell into a vicious cycle of toxicity, as everything became a trigger for conflict.

As the former couple go their separate ways and face their challenges, the future of their once passionate relationship remains uncertain.
