BRITTANY CARTWRIGHT “VERY UPSET” AS JAX TAYLOR’S ROMANCE WITH HER TRUSTED PUBLICIST IS EXPOSED!

Jax Taylor’s new romance is making waves.

It’s been close to two years since Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce from Taylor after four years of marriage in August 2024, six months after their separation.

Vanderpump Rules alum Taylor, 47, is now dating his publicist, Lori Krebs, multiple sources tell PEOPLE.

Krebs was also The Valley star Cartwright’s publicist until the photos leaked. TMZ published photos of Taylor with Krebs in Mexico on Monday, July 13.

A source says their relationship developed over the past few months. “Brittany is very upset about the photos but isn’t surprised,” the source tells PEOPLE. “She could tell their relationship was more than client-rep.”

The relationship news comes four months after Cartwright, 37, and Taylor finalized their custody agreement for their 5-year-old son, Cruz.

They will share joint legal custody and physical custody, according to court documents. Taylor will have custody of Cruz every other weekend and on Wednesday nights, while Cartwright will have him all other days.

Before Cartwright filed for divorce, Taylor entered an in-patient mental health center for treatment in July 2024, and he later revealed that he has struggled with addiction for the last two decades.

“I have substance issues — primarily with cocaine. It’s hard to say out loud,” he said on Bravo’s Hot Mic Podcast. “I’ve been dealing with this on and off since I was 23.”

In May, Cartwright told PEOPLE that “co-parenting is not easy,” but her ex “loves his son” and “Cruz is going to come first.”

Her dynamic with Taylor is an “up-and-down battle,” she said, as things will “take a long time to heal.”

“I just try not to have drama in my life anymore and not have any toxic behavior around my son, and, obviously, that has worked wonders for him.”

She filmed season 3 of The Valley without Taylor, which was a first — he exited the series after two seasons to focus on his sobriety — and a “fresh feeling,” she said.

“I’ve been on reality TV for over 10 years now, so this was the first season I’ve ever filmed without [him],” she said. “I was completely on my own for the first time, and that was really refreshing and made things a lot lighter and easier for me.”

Since her split from Taylor, Cartwright briefly dated Brandon Hanson, who was also going through a divorce and is a dad. They split in October 2025, two months after she went public with the romance.
