AceShowbiz - Brittany Cartwright turned into booze after filing a divorce from Jax Taylor. Just hours after submitting the divorce papers, the "Vanderpump Rules" alum was spotted grabbing alcohol from a delivery man outside her home in Los Angeles, California.
In pictures surfacing online, the 35-year-old could be seen wearing a blue bathing suit that was covered up by a white towel, sans her wedding ring. She had her brunette hair tied up in a bun with no makeup on.
Cartwright filed for divorce from Taylor on Tuesday, August 27, after five years of marriage. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and listed the date of separation as January 24, 2024. She requested full legal and physical custody of their 3-year-old son, Cruz, but granted visitation rights to Taylor.
The couple's finances will be addressed later, with Cartwright seeking to retain assets acquired by gift, inheritance, or before/after the separation date. Their joint ventures, including the sports bar Jax's Studio City and the podcast "When Reality Hits" are also subject to division.
Following the filing, Cartwright took to Instagram to share a sultry photo with the caption "Getting my sparkle back," suggesting her focus on rebuilding her self-esteem. Her co-stars expressed support and congratulated her on her newfound confidence.
This came six months after she initially announced their separation on the "When Reality Hits" podcast. The couple's relationship had been plagued by infidelity rumors and public judgment, but they remained committed to their love for years. However, Cartwright's decision to prioritize her mental health and rebuild her self-esteem ultimately led to the dissolution of their marriage.
Taylor has been candid about his mental health struggles and entered a mental health facility for treatment last month. Cartwright, meanwhile, has been seen spending time with Tanner Courtad, "The Bachelorette" alum.
