Celebrity relationships can get messy fast, and Brittany Cartwright isn’t holding back about how she feels regarding her ex-husband Jax Taylor’s new romance. The 37-year-old is speaking her truth, and honestly? We’re here for it.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Brittany made it clear that she hopes celebrity relationships like Jax’s work out the way they deserve. “I never wish bad for anybody, but they have to be absolutely miserable,” she said. “And I hope they are.” She was referring to Jax’s new girlfriend, Lori Krebs—who previously worked as her publicist. Yeah, you read that right.
Brittany didn’t hold back on her thoughts about why Jax, 47, was drawn to this connection. “My honest opinion is that my ex needs a mommy,” she stated. “I’ve never seen another publicist want to be the center of attention like she did.” It’s giving real tea, and the shade is perfectly measured.
The romance between Jax and Lori made headlines after they were photographed together in Mexico. According to sources who spoke with E! News, the relationship began after both had separated from their respective partners. A source denied there was any “years-long secret affair,” which honestly, we all kind of wondered about.
Brittany took her time before addressing the situation publicly. She prioritized her peace and what matters most. “As of right now, I am focusing on me and the most important thing in my life,” she shared on her podcast, “which is my beautiful son.” That’s the energy we need—putting yourself and your loved ones first while managing a casserole carrier full of emotions.
Brittany and Jax share their 5-year-old son, Cruz, and finalized their divorce earlier this year. Moving forward separately, she’s clearly focused on building the best life possible for herself and their child, which is honestly the most important thing.
