It has been reported that Brittany Cartwright, star of Vanderpump Rules and estranged wife of her co-star Jax Taylor, had been hooking up with Taylor’s friend Julian Sensely in June, sometime after the two were separated.

The two actors share a son named Cruz, who is four years old. Jax recently handed over the full physical custody of the child to Brittany.

According to Page Six, Brittany and Julian’s hook up began in June when the latter was going through a rough patch with his fiancee with whom he shares a child. He also has another child from a previous relationship. He and Brittany met through the Vanderpump Rules- affiliated bar named TomTom. According to the website, Cartwright and Sensely only ‘hung out privately’ and that they were not seeing each other any more.

The report further states that Jax apparently went ‘beserk’ when he heard about the tryst, which was apparently one of the reasons why he chose to pursue counselling and treatment for mental health issues.

He was in a mental health treatment centre for the whole of August. Upon release, he met his son. He had stated that he had sought treatment for bipolar disorder and ‘anger issues’. He had also said that therapy taught him that he suffered from narcissistic personality disorder. “I breadcrumb, I love bomb…” he had said in an interview.

He had also made a post on X which is now deleted. The post reads, “Why don’t you ask Brittany who she has been sleeping with for the last four months…”. The post is now revealed to have been an allusion to Brittany and Julian’s liaison.

After separation, Brittany had undergone a physical change, shedding weight and gaining what she called a ‘revenge body’. But through the separation, she and Jax have jointly stated that their son was their priority. A few weeks ago, the estranged couple had met for a custody exchange of their son.

Sometime back, Jax had also claimed that he was not legally married to Brittany, a claim which was shot down eventually by the latter’s legal team.

Though things are getting messy for this once-couple, we sure hope that everything returns to normal soon. After all, we don’t want suffering and heartbreak, do we?
