'Vanderpump Rules' star Brittany Cartwright fires back as ex Jax Taylor debuts new beau Paige Woolen
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jax Taylor from 'The Valley' was spotted with his rumored new love interest, Paige Woolen, shortly after his separation from his wife, Brittany Cartwright. As speculation about their relationship spread, Brittany appeared to address the situation subtly through an Instagram story.
Jax wasted no time in moving on, as he was spotted out with his model girlfriend, Paige, on Saturday, May 25th. The couple enjoyed a lunch date at Granville Cafe in Los Angeles, following a romantic evening at Oaks Bar the night before.
The OnlyFans model arrived in a limousine at the reality star's old house, where he lived with his now-ex, Brittany. Jax and his new love interest then had their driver chauffeur them to a café, where they enjoyed a leisurely three-hour lunch date. After their lunch date, Paige dropped off the restauranteur at his pub, Jax's Studio City and the two went their separate ways.
Amid widespread media coverage of the story, Brittany swiftly took to Instagram to share a message, seemingly directed at Paige. She wrote, "Girl, you have no idea how amazing life is about to get for you. Stay focused & trust the process."
Who is Paige Woolen?
Paige is a prominent Instagram model, with over 800,000 followers. She is well-known for her @dudesinthedm side account, where she exposes unfaithful individuals by sharing their direct messages with her. The model is recognized as an explicit internet celebrity who posts provocative photographs and videos on TikTok and Instagram.
Why did Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright split?
Jax and Brittany married in June 2019 and welcomed their baby Cruz in April 2021. However, in March 2024, they decided to part ways.
After nearly five years of marriage, the 'Vanderpump Rules' stars announced their split in March. The Bravo stars made the announcement earlier this year, coinciding with the launch of their new show, 'The Valley'. The show has captured a few squabbles between the former couple, with Brittany claiming in a recent episode that their financial and sex life drove a gap between them.
Since Brittany's unexpected announcement in March, both Jax and Brittany have openly discussed their decision to divorce. Shortly afterward, Brittany told the Daily Mail about the pivotal moment when she realized it was time to end their relationship. She also described the financial challenges the couple faced in 2020 after being let go from Bravo, suggesting that it caused a significant "shift" in their marriage dynamic.

Brittany Cartwright claims she 'can't even be in the same room' as ex-Jax Taylor
Brittany announced her current marital status about three months after disclosing her marriage divorce. The news was revealed by 'The Valley' mom on the Friday, May 24 episode of her and Jax's 'When Reality Hits' podcast series, which included special guest Tom Schwartz.
The 'Vanderpump Rules' cast member had made an appearance on the program just a week prior, noting that Brittany and Jax seemed to be in a good place during the May 17 airing. However, Brittany later acknowledged that their situation had changed since then.
“How are guys doing right now?” Tom inquired. “Not great,” Brittany admitted. “Right now, I’m kind of like, I can’t even be in the same room with him very long. The last time you were here, I was fine. You were like, ‘I forget you guys are even separated.’ So it’s very up and down like that.”
