Brittany Cartwright is filling her cup following her divorce from estranged husband Jax Taylor. The Valley star recently underwent an AirSculpt procedure in her problem areas after she “lost so much confidence throughout” her marriage, she exclusively tells Life & Style.
“[AirSculpt] helped me get [my confidence] back and feel more like myself again. And that’s the most important thing to me,” Brittany, 35, says.
The Vanderpump Rules alum admits that she tries to work out and eat healthy, despite her busy schedule managing her career and coparenting her son, Cruz, with Jax, 45. Brittany announced their separation in February and filed for divorce six months later.
"All this is also going to help motivate me to stay in the gym, and you know, keep up with habits like that as well, because once you start seeing results, you want to keep going,” Brittany admits.
The Kentucky native entered the spotlight when she started dating Jax in 2015, and she joined the Vanderpump Rules cast shortly after. Brittany quickly became a fan favorite in her own light and detached herself from the title of Jax’s then-girlfriend.
That said, Brittany faced her fair share of hateful comments over the years from trolls who criticized her body after Cruz’s birth in 2020. Two years later, the reality star became a spokesperson and ambassador for Jenny Craig, which helped kickstart her weight loss journey.
“I lost like 45 pounds on Jenny Craig,” Brittany tells Life & Style, explaining that she “still had so much loose skin” from pregnancy. Luckily, the non-invasive AirSculpt treatment helped strengthen and tighten her core.
"I got huge when I was pregnant. I’m always very open about that, like I was so big I got stretch marks. I had loose skin, and even as much weight as I lost I still could not control that tummy area like, no matter what,” Brittany tells Life & Style. “So, that’s why air slope was so important. And they also do like skin tightening treatments as well. And that was like life changing for me, bringing my confidence back.”
While navigating her new routine after her separation from Jax, Brittany says that her ex is a “great father,” despite being a “terrible husband.”
In October, Jax gave Brittany full custody over Cruz.
“We’re trying to get better every single day. But if I needed something, Jaz would be there for me, and he would be there for Cruz in a heartbeat,” Brittany tells Life & Style. “I could call him right now, and he would come and do what you know. He’s great with that – he really is. There’s just some things that we gotta work out between us.”
Meanwhile, the former Bravo star gushes that Cruz is a typical three-year-old who is “in that boy mode where he wants to climb on everything.”
“He thinks I’m a jungle gym. He’s like the best swimmer. I’m like we’re going to the Olympics one day,” Brittany manifests. “I swear he’s just super strong and just so big for his age. He’s a lot taller than all his friends, and you know he’s just a big boy, and he’s the sweetest thing you’ll ever meet.”
