On Thursday, Brittany, 35, was spotted looking miserable while moving clothes and other personal belongings into her Jeep.
As the former Vanderpump Rules star spotted photographers, she didn’t shed a smile while wearing a torn graphic T-shirt with the rapper Lil Wayne on the front.
On the bottom, she donned a pair of white sweatpants and black Nike sandals.
Brittany went makeup-free and had her brown hair pulled up into a messy bun.
She also seemingly continued to wear her wedding ring despite revealing she and Jax are “taking time apart.”
‘I’VE HAD A ROUGH YEAR’
During this week’s podcast episode, Brittany said, “Many of you guys have been asking me about Jax and I and our relationship. I just think it’s important to be real and honest with you guys, because we’ve shared so much of our lives with you guys.”
Brittany confessed to alluding to her marriage issues before.
“Yes, marriages in general are very hard and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year.”
She then broke the news.
“Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.”
Brittany and Jax share a two-year-old son named Cruz.
It’s not yet known if the end of their relationship will play out when their Vanderpump Rules spinoff, The Valley, debuts next month.
“I’m taking one day at a time,” she finished. “I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz.”
JAX’S RESPONSE
The former Sur bartender gave a shocking update on Thursday after he left his local gym.
He insisted that the pair’s separation was not a divorce.
“We’re together. We’re living in our home right now,” Jax told Page Six just hours after Brittany revealed the news.
“She was in a house for a while, but yeah, she’s back now.”
Jax confirmed when asked about how the divorce is going, “It’s not evil or nastiness.”
He went on to say that they are, “Figuring it out,” and that the split feels, “All fresh and new.”
“We’re just spending some time apart and just trying to re-assess, you know, our situation. We have a child involved and we just wanna do what’s best for our kid,” he finished.
Later this month, Brittany and Jax will appear on the newest Bravo series, The Valley alongside former VPR star Kristen Doute, 40.
NEW MOVES
In the trailer for the reality, the trio looked ready to make their official comeback to Bravo in the brand-new show.
The sneak peek showed Jax on a miniature Ford Bronco for kids as he went around waving to his neighbors, which included Kristen and her boyfriend, Luke Broderick.
Jax was dressed up in a gray suit with black gloves, while Kristen entered the frame wearing a red sequin dress.
Brittany was featured toward the end of the trailer, telling Jax to “stop messing around and mow the dang yard” while wearing a multicolored sequin gown.
Other couples were also featured in the trailer, with the narrator explaining that the series will show them “taking a shot at adulting.”
‘SO FAKE!’
After the news hit social media, fans were skeptical about the timing of their split – weeks before The Valley’s premiere date – and shared their theories on X, formerly Twitter.
One questioned, “Is this supposed to make us want to now watch an entire season of a new show where they’re supposedly a happily married couple?”
“Seems a bit coincidental with the timing of their new show…some fake drama? IDK…maybe I’m being too cynical,” a second theorized.
A third claimed, “I know I’m being mean but sorry this Jax Brittany separated seems so fake to promote the Valley and listen to the podcast.”
The reality star continued, ‘”Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health’
