Jax Taylor Enters Treatment for Mental Health Following Separation
Reality TV star Jax Taylor has checked into an inpatient treatment centre to focus on his mental health, following his separation from wife Brittany Cartwright.
A spokesperson for Taylor's latest series, *The Valley*, confirmed the news, stating: "Jax has always been open about his struggles with mental health, particularly in recent months on his podcast. He has made the decision to seek inpatient treatment. This is a sensitive time for him and his family, who ask for privacy and respect until he is ready to speak further on the matter."
The news came shortly after TMZ reported on Taylor's Instagram Stories, where he shared a picture of two books titled *Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life
and *Set Boundaries, Find Peace,* with the caption "Healing."
Taylor's decision to seek treatment comes amidst his ongoing separation from Cartwright. The couple, who were married for four years, announced their split in February, citing the need for personal space and mental well-being.
Cartwright, also a former *Vanderpump Rules
star, explained on the couple's joint podcast, *When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany*: "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."
Taylor and Cartwright, who met in Las Vegas in 2015, documented their relationship on *Vanderpump Rules*, their spin-off series *Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky*, and *The Valley*. They married in June 2019 and welcomed their son, Cruz Michael Cauchi, in April 2021.
Since their separation, Taylor and Cartwright have been filming the second season of *The Valley*. The first season, which features the couple navigating the early stages of their separation, is currently available to stream on Peacock.
Taylor's decision to seek treatment highlights the importance of prioritising mental well-being, particularly during challenging personal transitions. His willingness to publicly acknowledge his struggles and seek professional help serves as a reminder that mental health is essential and seeking support is a sign of strength.
