Brittany Cartwright begins new romance amid divorce from Jax Taylor

Brittany Cartwright is moving forward with a new romance, stepping into a public relationship as she navigates a divorce from Jax Taylor and prioritizes her family. The Valley star was seen on a date at Narwals End of Summer Soirée in Los Angeles, where a close friend and costar expressed strong approval of the mystery man she’s dating. The new relationship marks a lighter chapter for Cartwright, who has been open about rebuilding her life as a single parent to her son, Cruz.

At the August 21 event, Cartwright’s presence with the unidentified man drew attention, but a supporting voice from within her circle offered the most colorful endorsement. Kristen Doute described the partner as “someone who is really amazing,” adding that she is “head over heels” for him. Doute said the man has a “very family-feeling,” noting that being a dad makes the arrangement easier to understand and navigate. Cartwright has not publicly identified her new beau, but the couple’s appearance together and Doute’s remarks underscore a sense of stability and compatibility for Cartwright, who has long emphasized the importance of partners who are supportive and loving toward her son.
