Brittany Cartwright announced on Monday that she has split from her boyfriend Brandon Hanson.
The former lovebirds decided to go their separate ways after the were photographed together in Mexico two months ago.
Hanson was the first boyfriend the reality TV star after she left her husband, Jax Taylor, with whom she has a son.
This news comes just as the 36-year-old Vanderpump Rules shared with her social media fans that she had a major ‘mommy makeover.’
The Valley star had abdominal reconstruction ($15,000), liposuction ($20,000), a tummy tuck ($10,000) and a breast lift with smaller implants ($30,000). The fees are bases on Los Angeles prices.

On the October 10 episode of her podcast, When Reality Hits with Brittany Cartwright, the star said she was single.
‘I’m single, tell your friends,’ she cooed.
‘We actually did not last,’ she said of Hanson. ‘We were very good friends before we started dating. It was kind of like a whirlwind relationship. It went into the public way sooner than we ever would have wanted it to.’
‘We still care a lot about each other,’ she added. ‘It ended amicably, but I just could not do the long distance and he’s got a lot of obligations with his three kids and jobs, and we lived three hours away, so it was just too tough to keep it going. We really cared about each other. Hopefully, we can remain friends, but it’s just something I didn’t see that was going to be able to continue in the future.’
The siren said that part of the problem with Hanson is they went public sooner than she liked.
‘It got into the media much sooner than we wanted it to, but I, I feel good about the decision and I think, you know, this is what’s best for me,’ she noted. ‘So wish him the best, wish everything the best. It just wasn’t for me, it just didn’t work out.’
‘So I’m single, tell your friends,’ she teased.
She also said that Hanson did not pay for her mommy makeover.
This comes over a year after Cartwright split from her estranged husband Taylor, 46, after 10 years together and six of those years married.

The source also told the outlet that Cartwright and Hanson, who seemingly have known each other for a while, ‘reconnected well after he had already been separated’ from his ex.
The insider added that the pair bonded over their respective divorces.
‘The two have found comfort in each other as they’ve been navigating their respective divorces and personal life changes,’ the source shared.
Hanson has even won the stamp of approval from Cartwright’s pal Kristen Doute.
Cartwright’s new romance comes amid her contentious divorce battle with her estranged husband.
She filed the legal papers to end their marriage in August 2024 after five years of marriage, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’

The former couple share a four-year-old son named Cruz.
Months prior to Cartwright filing for divorce, she had already revealed to the public that they had been living separately for months.
In February 2024, she went on their joint podcast and announced their split.
‘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.’
Afterwards, it was revealed that Taylor had been battling a cocaine addiction and mental health issues, going to rehab after their split.
Prior to dating Hanson, Cartwright also had a fling with her ex’s friend Julien Sensley and dated Will Gittens. Taylor also had a fling himself with model Paige Woolen.
