We&#8217;re told Brittany plans to address those matters in court rather than through the media, while focusing on protecting Cruz, resolving the divorce fairly and moving forward with her life.<\/p>\n<p>As TMZ first reported, Jax and Lori Krebs were seen getting cozy during his birthday trip to Puerto Vallarta after also being spotted together at a Florida restaurant in May. Brittany later fired Lori, who had been her publicist for more than a decade.<\/p>\n<p>                  <a class=\"js-click-image js-track-link image-lightbox-preview\" data-node-ref=\"tmz:image-asset:image_jpg_20260718_be00fca8b0eb4ace8830baf7e767e5b8\" data-container-ref=\"tmz:article:1454bdf9-f90c-4877-b5ea-ae1e2d5f3b38\" data-context=\"{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p>                          <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/be00fca8b0eb4ace8830baf7e767e5b8_md.jpg\" alt=\"sub-jax-taylor-tmz-1\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" class=\"img-fluid image-block__img-fluid img-aspect-auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brittany <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2024\/08\/27\/vanderpump-rules-brittany-cartwright-files-divorce-jax-taylor\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">filed for divorce<\/a> from Jax in August 2024, citing irreconcilable differences and listing January 24, 2024, as their official date of separation.
