Cartwright confirmed they had separated after nearly five years of marriage on the February 29, 2024, episode of the”When Reality Hits” podcast. The news came weeks before their spinoff series “The Valley” debuted on Bravo.
As fans watched their marital struggles play out on TV, Cartwright said in an interview that Taylor had a lot of things to work on for them to ever get back together.
Cartwright told People magazine in April 2024 that her husband refused to go to couples therapy with her. During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” the same month, she shared that couples therapy was one of her things “that needs to happen” for her to reconcile with Taylor.
“Everything is kind of up in the air right now,” Cartwright said at the time. “I feel like I’m really strong right now, I feel like I’ve grown a lot in the past couple years, especially after having Cruz, I’ve gotten so much stronger, and I feel like I deserve better.”
In his own interview, Taylor vowed that he would not date if things didn’t work out with Cartwright. Speaking with “The Daily Dish” in early May, Taylor said, “I’m not dating.”
“I’m not gonna ever date, no,” he added. “If things don’t work out between Brittany and I, I will never ever date or get married again.”
Taylor explained that his focus would be on his 3-year-old son, Cruz. He reiterated that he would be “done” with looking for love if he doesn’t get back together with Cartwright.

Us Weekly asked Cartwright in April how she would feel if her husband dated someone new. “I don’t think I would like it,” she admitted.
Cartwright said it felt “so weird” to think about dating after nearly 10 years with Taylor.
On the May 24 episode of her “When Reality Hits” podcast, Cartwright admitted things were “not great” in her own relationship with Taylor. “Right now, I’m kind of like, I can’t even be in the same room with him very long,” she said.
Cartwright explained that Taylor had not “done a very good job” at respecting boundaries. “But we gotta remember, I’m the one that’s living elsewhere and I’m the one that’s, like, I feel like I’m the one that’s taking all of the hard hits, even though I was the one that had to leave,” she added.
