Why Did Jax and Brittany Break Up? Here’s What to Know

Here is what Brittany — who shares a son, Cruz, with her estranged husband — has said about the reason for the breakup of a couple that many people didn’t exactly think would last forever.

On her shared podcast with her soon-to-be ex, When Reality Hits, Brittany broke the news of the marriage being less than solvent.

“Many of you guys have been asking me about Jax and I and our relationship — I just think it’s important to be real and honest with you guys because… we’ve shared so much of our life with you guys,” she explained.

“I don’t want to seem like I’m lying or anything like that, so I think it’s important for me to say this… Marriages in general are very hard and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year. 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,” Brittany said.

She had more to say on the subject of the break up to Bravo.

“It just wore on me after nine years of dealing with a personality like that,” Brittany noted about her combative spouse. “We’re very different in a lot of ways and he has grown in many ways as well.”

“He’s just not the best partner right now and if, you know, if he works on some things, maybe in the future, we could get back together,” Brittany further said. “I’m not really sure about that situation yet, but for right now, the space is much needed for both of us. I’m just glad that I had the strength to finally take myself out of that situation ‘cause I didn’t think I would ever, ever, ever leave him.”
