Jax Taylor Reveals Relationship Status Amid Brittany Cartwright’s Ex-Publicist Buzz

Jax Taylor is officially off the market!

The “Vanderpump Rules” alum recently confirmed he is in a relationship, but did not name the other party. However, all the signs point to publicist Lori Krebs.

Jax Taylor’s speculated girlfriend is not only his rep but his estranged wife’s former publicist. He and Brittany Cartwright announced their separation in early 2024, months before the latter filed for divorce.

Taylor confirmed he was off the market in a recent promotional post for Smartwater. He posed shirtless in a pool, with the brand’s bottled water in the background, but fans were more interested in him than the product.

In the comments, a fan noted Taylor deserved his own show and wondered if he would consider applying for “The Bachelor” reality TV series. The entertainer shut down the offer, writing, “No thanks. I am taken [red heart emoji].”

Naturally, his words sparked a wave of surprise from fans, with one Instagram user wondering if it was his publicist. Another believed the lucky woman was Krebs, noting, “I love this for him.” The soft launch came weeks after Taylor and Krebs turned heads with a romantic getaway.

The Reality TV Star Was Seen Getting Cozy With His Publicist

Earlier this month, US Weekly reported that Taylor and Krebs were photographed enjoying each other’s company on a trip to Mexico. They lodged at Hotel Mousai in Puerto Vallarta, where they were seen getting intimate in the pool.

The pictures shared by the outlet showed them hugging and having a great time, with an eyewitness claiming they seemed head over heels for each other. “I asked him, ‘How long have they been married?’ And he said, ‘We’re both happily divorced,’” the source alleged, adding:

“They had their arms wrapped around each other and looked very close. It seemed obvious that they were very much together.”

A source shed more light on the duo’s Mexico trip, revealing that they traveled with a group for a joint celebration — Taylor’s 47th birthday and his 1.5-year sober anniversary. They spent the entertainer’s big day at the hotel’s Italian restaurant before heading to the rooftop for Latin night.

The source echoed the eyewitness’s claims about Taylor and Krebs’ relationship, saying, “He’s in a really good place and is the happiest he’s ever been.” The duo’s romance came two years after Taylor’s estranged wife denied the relationship speculations.

On a February 2024 episode of the “When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany” podcast, Cartwright shut down the rumors of Taylor moving on with Krebs. She claimed it was “ridiculous” how fans thought the pair were an item because of a picture they took together.

Cartwright was full of praise for Krebs on the February 2024 podcast episode, describing her as “very, very good friend” and “an amazing publicist.” However, her views seemingly changed after the Mexico pictures made waves, with The Blast reporting that she cut ties with Krebs.

The reality TV star’s decision to part ways with her longtime publicist after she got together with Taylor seemed to be an ironic twist of fate. Cartwright had previously made waves for hooking up with her estranged husband’s friend shortly after their 2024 separation.

At the time, she defended their relationship, claiming she and Taylor did not have a rule forbidding them from dating their inner circle. Although she did it first, Cartwright appeared unable to stand her former beau dating one of her friends.

Following news of Cartwright parting ways with her publicist, The Blast shared that she finally broke her silence on Krebs’ romance with Taylor on an episode of her podcast. She did not delve into the details, vowing to share her side of the story at a later date.

According to Cartwright, she would share her truth once she was ready and was more focused on protecting her son and her peace. A source claimed she was far from calm and composed as she appeared on the podcast, alleging that Krebs and Taylor’s relationship made her “sick to her stomach.”

They noted Cartwright had been suspicious of the duo for years but dismissed the romance speculations because she trusted Krebs. “They were very good friends and did not have a typical professional relationship,” the source said of their bond.
