Jax Taylor recently took a big step in repairing his relationship with Brittany Cartwright: He "finally" went to a doctor, as she revealed on the June 7 episode of their shared podcast.

"He didn't on the show and I knew he wasn't going to," The Valley cast member continued. "I called [him] out and I was right. I just want people to be aware that I've been trying to help Jax for a long time."
"He just didn't want to take anybody else's advice," Brittany added. "[But] he finally recently has. So we'll see if that changes anything."
Jax then explained how he came to the decision to go see a professional. "I met a doctor at my bar and she's absolutely amazing. And I went in there and I literally just broke down," he recalled. "I'm like, 'This is what's wrong with me and this is what I'm doing, and this is who l'm attacking, and I have serious, serious anger issues, and I have a child and I don't want him to see me act like that.'"
Though Jax noted he was previously "just trying to work through this without any kind of help," he ultimately "threw in the towel" when he began to have "full-on panic attacks."
Moving forward, Jax and Brittany said their shared focus remains on their 3-year-old son, Cruz Michael Cauchi.
Are Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright together?
The former couple is "still very much separated," Brittany clarified on the latest episode of her and Jax's podcast, but they also continue to spend a lot of time together. As Jax put it, "People are asking that to me all the time, like, 'Well, if you're separated, why do you keep seeing each other?' Because this is what's working," Jax explained. "And we're trying to exhaust everything else before we decide to call it quits."
By "everything," Jax means, "We're trying to live separately, we're trying to possibly date other people, [and] we're trying to, you know, figure out what works for us."
Where are Jax and Brittany living?
The exes continue to live separately, although Brittany admitted she occasionally spends the night at her and Jax's San Fernando Valley home. "I do still live in the Airbnb, [but] I will stay at the house sometimes," she said. "Because, you know, Cruz is here and we'll be playing together. We still like to do family things together. I know it seems very weird, but you know, there are other days where we fight really bad and we can't even see each other. So it's very weird and up and down."
