According to Reality Blurb, Cartwright hinted that fans are not aware of the severity of her issues with Taylor. In a May 26 Instagram Story, Cartwright shared a video that featured a fan saying they disapproved of Taylor’s treatment toward his now-estranged wife during the production of “The Valley” season 1.

“Thank you, [and] just imagine what I’ve been through behind closed doors,” captioned Cartwright.

While recording an April 2024 episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, Cartwright shared that she decided to separate from Taylor after they had a heated argument in January 2024. In addition, she stated she has been staying at Airbnbs because Taylor was too “stubborn” to move out of their shared Valley Village home.

The reality television personality also said she did not know if she would mend her marriage.

“He would have to do a lot of work to change my mind,” said Cartwright.

In addition, she suggested that she is interested in dating. She stated, however, that she has been unable to have a productive conversation about exploring potential romantic partners with Taylor.

“It’s hard to have a conversation with Jax. You can’t just sit down and have like a meaningful conversation with him. It always turns into an argument. He always gets defensive,” said the Kentucky native.

Taylor also stated that he and his estranged wife are focused on their son’s well-being amid their separation.

“We want to make sure that we are good parents to him. You know, we don’t argue or anything like that in front of him. And we don’t want that to ever happen. And that’s kind of why we separated,” said the reality television personality.
