Brittany Cartwright is starting a fresh chapter after splitting from Jax Taylor.
Cartwright chats exclusively with OK! about how she's navigated a difficult year after filing for divorce in August, what she thinks about Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift watching her on television and how much she loved her results from undergoing the renowned treatment.
"My friends and family have been a huge help throughout this entire thing. It has been very hard, but I'm focusing on being the best mom I can possibly be," the brunette beauty explains of kiddo Cruz, 3, whom she shares with Taylor. "He makes me happier than anything in the world. If I'm having a hard day, I just snuggle him. I've got my friends that I can vent to as well. But I'm trying to put myself first for a bit because I've always put my relationship and other people's needs before my own. It's a new era. I'm trying to be strong for myself and my son."
Brittany Cartwright says she's in a 'new era' of her life.
As Cartwright films the reality series, A-listers, including the "Same Old Love" singer and the "Karma" vocalist, have been following along with the drama. "That was awesome," she says of Gomez's admission that she and Swift chat about The Valley and Vanderpump Rules. "People were making memes of them whispering to each other and it was like, 'Did you hear Brittany filed for divorce?' I thought that was so funny. But I knew Selena was a fan because she had visited TomTom in the past."
"I also thought Rihanna talking about The Valley on the red carpet at the Fenty show was incredible, " the mother-of-one adds. "She was like, 'I relate to this!' And I said, 'Rihanna relates to me? That's crazy!'
