Jax Taylor was served divorce papers while filming season two of 'The Valley'.
Jax Taylor has been married to Brittany Cartwright since 2019
Brittany Cartwright - who has Cruz, three, with her estranged husband - recently submitted paperwork to legally end their marriage, and it's now emerged that Jax, 45, was actually handed the papers while he was shooting the new season of 'The Valley', according to TMZ.
Brittany, 35, listed January 24 as their date of separation, and she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakdown of their relationship.
Brittany is seeking primary legal and physical custody of Cruz and is open to visitation for Jax.
The former 'Vanderpump Rules' star also wants to block the ability of the court to award spousal support to either her or her estranged husband.
The celebrity duo announced their split earlier this year.
However, Brittany subsequently admitted that a reconciliation remained possible.
The reality TV star - who tied the knot in 2019 - told Us Weekly: "There’s definitely a chance. But I won’t waste my time and get back into a toxic situation.
"Now the veil has been lifted and I see how much I was always cleaning up Jax’s messes. I’m thrown in the middle of all these fights and constantly forced to apologise for him in the media and to friends. It’s hard."
Brittany revealed that she was feeling "really strong" and that she was financially independent, too, after splitting from Jax.
Brittany - starred on the first season of 'The Valley' earlier this year - said: "I feel really strong.
"At the beginning, I was freaking out. I came to Los Angeles for Jax and we moved in together immediately, so I’ve never been here by myself. But now I have my own friends and my own money."
