In response, she said, “Jax is Jaxin.” After that, she opened up, saying, “Yeah, I mean, it’s not easy.” Cohen then noted that Cartwright had told him that Taylor had gotten sober, which she then confirmed on air. According to her, “Very happy for that. That is a great achievement. It’s just some people are never gonna change.”

She Says Jax Took Their Son To Hooters

Later in the clip, Cohen mentioned seeing online that Taylor had taken their son to a Hooters for his birthday. Cartwright shared her reaction, stating, “He did. That does not bother me at all. I wanted him to spend time with his son on his birthday.”

She also shared that she was inducted into the Hooters Hall of Fame, claiming, “I think people forget about that,” and that she hopes to own a location someday. Cartwright added, “I love Hooters.” As fans know, she worked at a Hooters in Kentucky before achieving reality TV fame.

Fans of “The Valley” took to the comments section to offer their reaction to Cartwright’s remarks about Taylor. Surprisingly, many say he’s missed on the show, and some believe they will rekindle their romance.

One person wrote on TikTok, “I don’t know, I see her and Jax eventually getting back together.” Another fan said, “Jax is needed on the show, I don’t care.” A different social media user wrote, “Unironically love Jax Taylor.”

Another Bravo watcher stated, “The Valley is boring without Jax. He might have his own issues, but he is good TV. Brittany is annoying.”

Someone else defended Cartwright, proclaiming, “Damn the people in these comments are hateful. I think Brittany is a gem. She’s doing her best and figuring things out. It takes time. I think she’s a wonderful woman and mom.”

The Bravo Star Previously Said They’re Working On Coparenting

Cartwright interviewed with US Weekly in April 2026. Regarding where she stands with Taylor, she said, “We’re working on the coparenting situation. We’re trying to make it better. It’s not easy. There’s just so many different things that go into it, where it’s not the best, but it is better than it was two years ago. That’s a plus.”

From there, she opened up about where they are in their divorce. According to her, “We’re working on getting the house appraised,” before saying she’s hopeful to “get another date set” and that “Everything should be good to go after that.”

Cartwright also plans to remain in the home. She told the outlet, “That’s my house. [I] already moved Cruz around for seven months. He loves that place.”

The “Valley” star went on, “I love that house. I’ve been taking care of everything by myself for a very long time now, so I’m proud of that. And yeah, that’s my house.”
