Brittany Cartwright, the ex-wife of reality TV star Jax Taylor, recently shared a heartwarming Thanksgiving celebration with their 2-year-old son, Cruz. The couple, who became widely known for their time on the show Vanderpump Rules, had tied the knot in 2019. However, after nearly five years of marriage, they announced their separation in February 2024. The separation ultimately led to their divorce, which was finalized in August of the same year.
Despite the challenges of their personal lives, Brittany has remained committed to co-parenting their son, Cruz, whom they both deeply adore. Recently, Brittany posted a series of photos on Instagram, capturing a joyful Thanksgiving moment with her son. The photos, taken in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, show Brittany holding Cruz in her arms. She looked chic and stylish in a black blazer paired with black pants, her hair pulled back into a sleek bun. The images exuded warmth, love, and a sense of togetherness despite the ongoing changes in their lives.
In the caption accompanying the photos, Brittany expressed her gratitude and love for her son: “I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m forever thankful for this beautiful boy. It’s me and you forever Cruz!” Her words resonated deeply with fans who have followed her journey. Many praised her strength as a mother and her ability to remain positive amid her personal challenges. One fan commented, “Being a boy mom is the best!” echoing the sentiment that Brittany has embraced her role as a loving and devoted mother.
Another fan added, “You look amazing and you both deserve everything and more,” reflecting the admiration fans have for Brittany as she navigates the complexities of her life. While her public image may have been shaped by her relationship with Jax, Brittany’s focus remains on her family, especially on ensuring that Cruz has a loving, stable environment.
It’s worth noting that Brittany’s decision to seek a divorce from Jax was reportedly based on “irreconcilable differences,” as stated in the legal documents obtained by PEOPLE magazine. The couple’s divorce was finalized in August 2024, with Brittany requesting full legal and physical custody of their son Cruz. However, she also ensured that Jax would maintain visitation rights, demonstrating her willingness to foster a cooperative co-parenting relationship despite the dissolution of their marriage.
For Brittany, the holidays are a time to reflect on what truly matters – family, love, and gratitude. Her recent post serves as a reminder that despite the ups and downs of life, the bond between a mother and her child remains unshaken. As Brittany moves forward, she has made it clear that her priority is her son and their future together. The photos from Thanksgiving were a testament to the love and joy that Cruz brings into her life, and Brittany’s message was clear: through it all, she is thankful for her son, and they will continue to navigate life as a team.
Moving forward, Brittany’s life will continue to evolve, but for now, her focus remains on the well-being of Cruz and making sure he knows how loved he is. With the support of her fans and family, Brittany is ready for the next chapter, filled with more moments of love, growth, and gratitude.
