The brunette beauty, 35, styled her long, highlighted hair in barrel curls that framed her bronzed face.

With long eyelashes and a nude pout, the “Valley” star flashed the camera a sexy stare.

Cartwright’s co-stars — past and present — were quick to offer congratulations and support.

“????? shining bright baby!” “Vanderpump Rules” star Scheana Shay commented beneath the post, as show alum Dayna Kathan finished Cartwright’s sentence with: “and we LOVE to see it!!! ???.”

“Yes!! Love you queen Britt ??,” the “Valley” star Nia Sanchez remarked, while Zack Wickham wrote, “Stunning ? love you so much ?.”

Hours prior, Cartwright submitted a petition to Los Angeles Superior Court to dissolve her union with Taylor, whom she wed in her home state of Kentucky in June 2019.

She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and listed the date of separation as Jan. 24, 2024.

Cartwright — who shares 3-year-old son Cruz with Taylor — requested full legal and physical custody of the toddler; however, she OK’d visitation rights for the former model, 45.

When it comes to the pair’s finances, Cartwright is seeking to keep all the assets she acquired by gift, inheritance, before marriage or after the date of separation.

Aside from both appearing on “The Valley,” the “Vanderpump Rules” alums also opened a sports bar together in October called Jax’s Studio City and co-host a podcast titled “When Reality Hits.”

It was on their podcast in February that Cartwright announced their separation.

“Marriages in general are very hard, and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year,” she told their listeners at the time.

“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.”

Cartwright then revealed on the Season 1 finale of “The Valley,” which aired in June, what actually led to the breakup.

“He was going out to the bar and stuff, coming home and having these horrible hangovers that would make him mean as a f-king snake,” she told her castmates during the episode.

“Finally, after he’s already been screaming at me for hours … I packed me and Cruz up, and we got the hell out of that house.”

Last month, Taylor — who admittedly cheated on Cartwright when they were dating — checked himself into a mental health facility, where he seemingly remains.

Prior to entering treatment, he copped to having “serious, serious anger issues.”

Earlier this month, while Taylor was away, it was reported that Cartwright has been “hanging out” with “Bachelorette” alum Tanner Courtad; however, the nature of their relationship remains unclear.
