Jax Taylor's former 'VPR' costars hinted at rumors of him allegedly cheating on Brittany Cartwright.
While discussing Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval's bombshell breakup during a girls' night out, the "Good as Gold" singer explained that people "don't really know until you're in it" before referencing Taylor and Cartwright's rocky relationship journey over the years.
"You can't judge," Shay said in regard to the estranged couple's 2017 split when Taylor cheated on Cartwright with a fellow SUR employee. "Look at Jax and Brittany, they were married and had a baby. I could not believe that when they did."

"Many of you guys have been asking me about Jax and I and our relationship," she explained. "I just think it’s important to be real and honest with you guys because our life is definitely — we’ve shared so much of our life with you guys. So, I feel like ... I don’t want to seem like I’m lying or anything like that so I think it’s important for me to say this."

"Yes, marriages in general are very hard and I've had a particularly rough year this past year. Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health."
