Brittany Cartwright is reportedly “hanging out” with “Bachelorette” alum Tanner Courtad while her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, focuses on his mental health.
The duo met on July 15 at a “Bachelorette” watch party hosted at Jax’s Studio City, the Los Angeles bar that Cartwright and Taylor opened last year. They seem to have hit it off instantly.
Since that initial meeting, Cartwright and Courtad have attended another watch party together and have been frequently spotted in each other’s company. An insider shared that Courtad has been joining Cartwright on the set of ‘The Valley’ as she films.
Adding fuel to the fire, Cartwright’s friend Logan Noh posted a photo on Instagram featuring Courtad along with the “Valley” star on July 27. The duo even posed closely in a group photo at Jax’s Studio City on July 23, following yet another “Bachelorette” watch party.
Fans are speculating there might be more than just friendship between the two. One fan commented on social media, “I hope that really good-looking guy standing next to Brittany is her date. Girl, I hope you move on and find you a real man. Praying for you.” Photos obtained by the Daily Mail show Cartwright and Courtad grinning together, adding to the speculation.
Meanwhile, Jax Taylor, Cartwright’s estranged husband, has checked into an inpatient program for mental health treatment. Taylor, 45, shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, stating, “Trying to get better for you buddy, daddy loves you so much,” while carrying his son, Cruz. Their separation was announced in February on their podcast, with Cartwright later revealing the reasons behind it. She said she decided to move out after Taylor allegedly screamed at her for hours following a night of drinking.
Taylor has publicly admitted to having anger issues and mentioned that he is working on himself to save their relationship. Neither Cartwright nor Courtad have publicly commented on their relationship status, but sources indicate Cartwright has been “happier lately.”
As Cartwright navigates her new relationship and Taylor seeks help, fans are eager to see what the future holds for both reality stars.
