Jax Taylor ‘feeling mixed emotions’ about Brittany Cartwright divorce

Jax Taylor is reportedly “feeling mixed emotions” about Brittany Cartwright’s divorce filing.

“[He] knows this is ultimately the right decision but is sad that things ended up the way they have,” an insider told People on Tuesday. “It’s been an emotional month for him and he’s trying to stay strong for his son.”

The source also acknowledged that Cartwright felt filing to end their marriage was something she “knew she had to do for the best interest of herself and her son.”

“There’s a lot that has transpired over the past few months that she could not look past,” they added. “This decision wasn’t made lightly but she feels adamant that it was the right one.”

Page Six did not immediately hear back from reps for Cartwright or Taylor regarding the report.

Cartwright, 35, filed for divorce on Tuesday just over five months after she announced she and Taylor, 45, were “taking time apart” to reevaluate their relationship.

She requested primary custody of their 3-year-old son, Cruz, and asked that both parties be barred from receiving spousal support.

Cartwright has continuously said she wants to give Cruz the best environment possible since she moved out of her and Taylor’s shared Los Angeles home in February.

“I’m taking things one day at a time,” she said while announcing their separation on their shared podcast, “When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany,” in Febraury.

“I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz.”

“I deserve better, Cruz deserves better,” she told TMZ in March. mrjaxtaylor/Instagram

In March, the “Valley” star told TMZ she felt Taylor was “not really trying” and that’s why she needed to take a stand for herself and for Cruz.

She explained, “I’ve asked him for a while to do certain things and nothing has come from that.”

“Whenever you fight with somebody for so long, there’s only so much you can take, and you know, I deserve better, Cruz deserves better.”

Furthermore, in April, she discussed how important Cruz’s well-being was to her when trolls expressed concern for him on social media.

Taylor has not publicly commented on the divorce filing.

He has been seeking treatment in a mental health center since late July.

Once news broke about his rehab stint, he shared a photo with Cruz on his Instagram Story and revealed he was the reason he was seeking help.

“Trying to get better for you buddy, daddy loves you so much,” he wrote alongside the snap.
