‘The Valley’ star filed for divorce from Jax Taylor on Aug. 27 after four years of marriage
A year and half before Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce, Jax Taylor revealed that he didn’t consider legally splitting up as an option.
The Valley star, 45, reflected on the ups and downs of their marriage — which included weathering infidelity scandals to taking on parenthood together — in a March 2023 interview with PEOPLE.
“I don’t believe in divorce. My parents didn’t get divorced,” Taylor shared at the time. “I don’t believe in that. Marriage is work. I’m not saying every day is amazing.”
“There’s good days and there’s bad days, but that’s marriage, and that’s what makes your relationship stronger,” he continued. “We love hard. We fight hard. It’s amazing.”
Taylor said the pair were “best friends” and his wife was the “only one” who could “put up” with him. “We have a lot of fun with each other. I honestly can’t imagine my life with anybody else. Like I said, she’s the ying to my yang, a little,” he explained.
“I’m a tough guy to be around, so it takes a certain person to deal with my crap,” he continued. “Even through all this, and even though my life is a lot better now, I’m still tough to handle. I think she’s the only one that can put up with me really.”
