Jax Taylor opened up about the dynamic Brittany Cartwright had with Lori Krebs, the former couple’s longtime publicist whom he is now seemingly dating.
The former Bravo TV personality, who starred on “Vanderpump Rules” and “The Valley,” addressed a commenter on Instagram who questioned his relationship with one of Cartwright’s “closest friends” two years after their split.
“They haven’t been close, barely talked in last year and a half,” Taylor claimed of Cartwright and Krebs. “Brittany was never a friend to Lori,” he added, noting that the perception that they had a close relationship was untrue.
In the comment section, some fans supported Taylor, pointing out that he has grown emotionally over the past months.
Fans and Friends Were Stunned By Jax Taylor’s New Romance
Krebs was Taylor and Cartwright’s joint publicist for years.
But in early July, Taylor and Krebs were spotted getting cozy at a hotel resort pool during a vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. As rumors about the relationship began to swirl, Taylor kept silent. But last week he told a fan on Instagram that he was “taken.”
Several cast members from “Vanderpump Rules” and “The Valley” have spoken out. Kristen Doute recently appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” and showed support for Cartwright.
“This is Brittany’s trusted paid professional, a friend, basically part of her family for the past decade,” Doute noted. “It’s so totally deceitful. It’s her publicist. The one person who knows the ins and outs of everything.”
Jax Taylor’s Relationship With Lori Krebs Reportedly Started Very Recently
While Taylor and Krebs had a professional relationship for years, a source told TMZ that it grew into a closer friendship as they faced challenges in their personal lives. The outlet also reported that the two bonded over raising children with autism. (Taylor shares a son, Cruz, 5, with Cartwright while Krebs has twins with her ex-husband.)
“There was never a years-long secret affair, and there was no romantic relationship while Jax and Brittany were together,” a source told E! News. “Their relationship changed only in the last several months, after both had already been separated.”
Another insider told Us Weekly. “Jax and Lori’s relationship developed over the past several months after they grew closer while supporting one another through some of the most difficult periods of their lives. What began as a longstanding friendship gradually evolved into a relationship. There was never a romantic relationship before that, despite years of speculation.”
Cartwright has vowed to speak her “truth” soon but clarified that she will focus on her son for now.
“All I’m going to say about this at this moment is I will be speaking my truth – the truth – on this matter very soon whenever I’m ready,” she said on her “When Reality Hits” podcast. “As of right now, I am focusing on me and the most important thing in my life, which is my beautiful son. And as of right now, I’m just trying to protect my son and my peace and very soon I will be telling [my story]. I mean, I think everybody kinda understands what’s going on.”

Really Brittany, you dated a friend of Jax’s, so why are you so pissed cause he’s just started to date someone that you say you were friends and she worked for both you and Jax. You should be happy the the dad of your son has been sober for over a year. Stop your crying and just wish him well. You and Jax will forever be in eachothers lives cause of the beautiful son you both have. He loves his son and he got sober for himself to be the best dad he can be for Cruz. So grow up and wish him well. Stop the pity party for yourself. And put the animosity aside and learn to co-parent with your ex husband. Live your life and maybe quit the show. You will also find a new love down the road. But please remember you dated a friend of Jax almost as soon as you were separated. So what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. And I do believe that Jax and your old publicist got together after he got sober or during the time he was getting sober. And anyway you are living separated lives for quite some time and your divorce is almost over and done with. You must learn to be cordial and realize that you and Jax were just toxic together. You couldn’t change him. He had to want to change for himself to be a much better father to Cruz. So grow up and stop being so upset. Move on and you’ll fall in love again. You your self started to fall really quick but the guy you were dating didn’t live that close to you and it fizzled out. So put your feelings aside and learn to co-parent with Jax…PERIOD
