Brittany Cartwright may be moving on from her marriage to Jax Taylor.
Days after Jax, 45, confirmed he was seeking an in-patient treatment for his mental health struggles, the 35-year-old cast member of The Valley is said to be “happier lately” as she continues to spend time with Bachelorette alum Tanner Courtad, 31.
“Brittany and Tanner have been hanging out together,” a source told Daily Mail on August 2.
According to the report, Brittant and Tanner met through the Bachelorette star Charity Lawson, 28, at a watch party for the series last month at Jax’s Studio City, where Tanner was listed as a “special guest” for the event. Then, the following week, Brittany and Tanner were again both in attendance at the venue’s watch party.
Although the reality TV stars have not yet confirmed the nature of their relationship, the Daily Mail insider said Tanner has been “tagging along as Brittany films The Valley.”

“[They] filmed at Dave and Busters with the rest of the cast for [Janet Caperna‘s] birthday,” the source revealed.
In addition, Brittany and Tanner were seen together at a sports bar in Los Angeles.
After Brittany and Tanner stepped out together, fans expressed interest in them dating.
“I hope that really good looking guy standing next to Brittany is her date. Girl girl I hope you move on and find you a real man. Praying for you,” one person said.
“Seriously set her up. I’m rooting for her,” wrote another.
Meanwhile, after announcing plans to seek mental healthcare earlier this week following a home visit from police, Jax surfaced on his Instagram Story, where he shared a photo of himself and his 3-year-old son, Cruz.
“Working on getting better for you buddy, I love you,” he wrote in the caption of the pic.
Brittany and Jax began dating in 2015 but briefly split in 2017 after he cheated with Faith Stowers, 35. Then, after tying the knot in Kentucky in June 2019, they welcomed Cruz in April 2021.
The Valley season two is currently in production and expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
