'No stamina': TV couple divorce after five years of marriage as Brittany Cartwright rates her 'experiences' with Jax Taylor as brutal 2/10

Brittany Cartwright has blasted the "negative energy" amid her split from Jax Taylor and went even further in a recent interview when asked to rate their ‘experiences’ together.

The 36-year-old reality star filed for divorce from her 'Vanderpump Rules' co-star Jax, 45, in 2024 after five years of marriage. Brittany gave a scathing answer when she was asked to rate her experiences with her ex. She told 'Watch What Happens Live!' host Andy Cohen: "Oh, Lord. There [were] times when he was about a seven or an eight. Majority of the time, no stamina, no nothing. I'd say a two or a three."

Brittany also gave a blunt assessment of their relationship in the wake of their split. She added: "[It's] still not great. His personality is still very much a Jax Taylor personality."

Jax - who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in September 2024 - recently said he thinks his marriage could have been saved if he'd received his diagnosis sooner.

He said on the 'In the Mind of Jax Taylor' podcast: "This is the first time in my 45 years of life that I had to ask for help because I just couldn't do it anymore. I just, I couldn't bear the weight. And I just - I surrendered. I surrendered."

Jax has been using a mood stabiliser called Lamotrigine, and it's actually changed his life. He shared: "I'm on it, and I absolutely love it."

Last month, Jax - who had recently celebrated 100 days of sobriety, having previously discussed his substance abuse issues - opened up about his rehab stay, having checked himself into a mental health facility in 2024.

He said: "I had all these other issues because I’m masking loneliness. I’m masking the texting women by doing drugs and drinking alcohol. I have all these other issues. So it’s a slow process, which is hard for me because I always look for the quick fix. This is one of those things in life that it’s not a quick fix. You have to work at it. I’m not used to that.”

Brittany has also spoken out about how the couple’s four-year-old son Cruz makes her "happy" and leaves her feeling "proud" on a daily basis.

She told UsWeekly: "The peace in my house is something that I feel like is helping him. It’s helping me. It’s helping everything. Because whenever I had to deal with that negative energy every day, I mean, it was wearing on me. He deserves a happy mama.

"He's starting to say a couple more words. He is just such a good kid. He’s so happy. He’s always smiling and laughing, and he’s just catching up in his own way. It’s beautiful to see because whenever you have a kid on the spectrum, you celebrate every little milestone because you wait for it — and then it happens and it’s the best day ever. I’m so proud of him every single day."
