So exciting! Brittany Cartwright and her husband, Jax Taylor, are expecting baby No. 1 sometime in April 2021. With that, the former Vanderpump Rules star, 31, is making sure to document each and every moment of her joyous pregnancy by snapping as many baby bump photos as she can.
“Mom & Dad. The love of our lives is coming soon,” Brittany captioned the very first photo of her growing belly in September 2020. Of course, the couple’s loved ones couldn’t help but gush over their announcement. “Life couldn’t get better!!!!!! I love y’all so much!!!!!!!!!!!!” former Vanderpump Rules cast member Stassi Schroeder, who is also pregnant with her first child, commented.
“The happiest time ever,” added Bravo’s Lala Kent, who is — you guessed it — expecting a daughter with her fiancé, Randall Emmett. “When is the new season of Vander-bump starting?” actress and comedian Heather McDonald joked. Unfortunately, Jax and Brittany won’t be a part of it if/when it does come back. In December 2020, Jax took to Instagram to reveal he and Brittany would no longer be on the show.
“The last 8 years on Vanderpump Rules have been some of the most challenging, rewarding and fulfilling years of my life,” he began. “Although this is difficult to share, Brittany and I will not be returning for another season of Vanderpump Rules. We are excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors. Thank you to all the fans who have shared our journey with us and supported us through everything. We love you. Stay tuned, We can’t wait for to share what we have planned.”
The exit comes months after the firing of Stassi, 32, and series regular Kristen Doute in June 2020 following past racist behavior.
“The show will go on,” a source exclusively revealed to Life & Style at the time. “But it won’t be the same. It’s a new world and everything about the landscape of reality TV is changing. A lot of people at Bravo recognize now that they didn’t really represent everyone.”
Even with their careers up in the air, Jax and Brittany’s relationship is stronger than ever. “We have a good date night three days a week, and it’s usually … a lot of the times we stay home and watch movies, or we’ll go see a movie,” Jax, 41, previously told Life & Style of how he and his ladylove keep the spark alive. “It always revolves around some sort of Netflix special that’s coming out at that point or things that we have to catch up on.”
In September 2020, the couple revealed they have a boy on the way during a gender reveal with confetti in their back yard. “I’m so shocked!” Brittany screamed. “I knew it!” Jax added.
