Pop the champagne and get your cake ready, because Jax Taylor is officially 40-something.
How to Watch
The Valley cast member turned 45-years-old on July 11, surrounded by friends and family members who had the sweetest things to say about him on his big day. It's been a very big year for Jax — between the premiere of The Valley, and the opening of his bar, Jax's Studio City — and this year is bound to be even better.
While Jax's estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, chose to not post anything to Instagram on July 11, Jax's mother-in-law, Sherri Cartwright, did. Sherri posted a photo of Jax smiling with his and Brittany's 3-year-old son, Cruz Cauchi, sitting on his shoulders. "Happy birthday Dad," she wrote over the picture.
Both Jesse Lally and Jason Caperna took to their Instagram Stories as well, where they posted photos of them and Jax together. "Happy birthday legend," Jesse wrote over the photo. Jesse later showed up at Jax's birthday party with his girlfriend, Lacy Nicole, where the couple took shots with the birthday boy. "I love you both so much," Jax told the couple.
Kristen Doute posted two separate photos on her Instagram Story — one of her and Jax looking very friendly together (in spite of feuding during Season 1 of The Valley), and another of Jax chilling out on a lounge chair. "Happy 45th Birthday J," she wrote over one photo. "Cheers to a fun summer ahead."
Danny Booko also went out of his way to post a photo of him and Jax to his Instagram Story on July 11. "Heyooooo happy bdayyyyy brother!!," Danny wrote over the picture.
Inside Jax Taylor's 45th Birthday Party at Jax's Studio City
The dad of one took to his Instagram Story on the evening of his birthday, where he showed off scenes from his birthday party held at his bar. The celebration was complete with signs, balloons, his cast members from The Valley, and a massive cake covered in chocolate and miniature bottles of alcohol — all of his favorite things in one place.
It also appears that Brittany was in attendance at the party, as she was briefly seen in the background of a video posted to Jax's Instagram Story. In the video, Jax can be seen slinging his arm around Jason while Brittany smiled in the background.
