Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright's relationship was hinted at on Vanderpump Rules before their appearance on The Valley. Fans got a glimpse of their potential relationship issues on the reality TV show.

In a recent episode of Vanderpump Rules, Scheana Shay confessed that she had doubts about Jax, 44, and Brittany, 35, being able to overcome his season 6 cheating scandal with Faith Stowers.

Scheana, 38, pointed out how Jax and Brittany got married and had a baby. Katie Maloney made a face in disbelief. She couldn't believe it when it happened.

Katie, 37, mentioned that there are still rumors about Jax being seen around town. Scheana, 38, agreed, saying she heard the same thing. Lala Kent added that it was "beyond" surprising.

Viewers of Bravo's Vanderpump Rules have been following Jax and Brittany's relationship journey for years. Jax joined the show in 2013, with Brittany joining the cast two years later. The couple shared their relationship struggles and their beautiful wedding, which was filmed for the show in 2019.

However, just one year after their wedding, Jax and Brittany surprised fans by announcing that they were leaving Vanderpump Rules.

The past 8 years on Vanderpump Rules have been a mix of challenges, rewards, and fulfillment for us. In 2020, we shared on Instagram that Brittany and I have decided not to return for another season. We are looking forward to focusing on our growing family and exploring new opportunities. Bravo TV, Evolution USA, and our Vanderpump castmates will always hold a special place in our hearts. We want to express our gratitude to all the fans who have followed our journey and supported us through it all. Your love means the world to us.

Jax and Brittany welcomed their son Cruz in 2021 after taking a break from reality TV. Their relationship will be featured on the Vanderpump Rules spinoff, The Valley. Prior to the show's debut, Jax and Brittany revealed that they are currently "taking time apart" from their marriage.

"So many of you have been curious about Jax and me and our relationship. I believe it's crucial to be genuine and open with you all because we've shared so much of our lives with you," Brittany shared on a recent episode of their podcast "When Reality Hits" on February 29. "I want to be honest and transparent, so I feel it's necessary to address this."

During that time, Brittany mentioned that she and Jax were dealing with some challenges.

I wanted to be honest and open with you amidst all the rumors and speculations circulating online. Marriages can be incredibly challenging, and this past year has been particularly tough for me. Jax and I have decided to take some time apart, and I have chosen to move into a new home to give myself some space for my own mental well-being. I'm not ready to delve into all the details just yet because it's still a difficult topic for me to discuss.

Bravo recently unveiled the official trailer for The Valley, in which Brittany expressed her feelings about her relationship with Jax. She mentioned that she doesn't feel like Jax is "attracted" to her and that their intimacy has dwindled. Another scene showed Brittany getting upset, prompting Jax to tell her that she shouldn't show any emotion.

More scenes in The Valley featured cast members discussing rumors about Jax being unfaithful. Despite this, a source informed us that cheating was not the cause of their breakup.

Brittany also spoke out about rumors that her problems with Jax were fabricated to attract more viewers to the show.

"I'm pretty sure the trailer we filmed 6 months ago explains why I am where I am now. It's not a promo for a show, it's my life!," she responded to a fan comment on Instagram on Monday, March 11. "That's enough with that!!!!"

Vanderpump Rules airs on Bravo on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET and can be streamed on Peacock the next day. The Valley premieres on Bravo on Tuesday, March 19, at 9 p.m. ET.
