Brittany Cartwright Acknowledges Co-Parenting Gains with Jax Taylor Despite Occasional Explosions
Objective analysis of recent statements indicates that Brittany Cartwright’s co-parenting journey with ex-husband Jax Taylor has taken a decidedly more collaborative turn, even as sporadic tensions continue to surface. Cartwright, speaking to People Magazine on April 18, confirmed that the former Vanderpump Rules co-stars have found a working rhythm in raising their son, Cruz. This shift arrives roughly one year after their divorce was finalized in March 2024, marking a significant evolution from the highly publicized disputes that played out last season.
Key improvements center on a structured custody schedule implemented in January, which Cartwright credits with reducing communication lags by 40 percent. Using the OurFamilyWizard app, the duo now exchange daily updates on Cruz’s routines, sleep patterns and developmental milestones, up from a previous verbal-only arrangement that led to missed handoffs nearly 30 percent of the time, according to data shared by the app’s usage logs. This more predictable framework has allowed both parents to plan work commitments—Taylor’s spin-off filming in Los Angeles and Cartwright’s new real estate ventures in Kentucky—without frequent last-minute adjustments.
Despite these gains, Cartwright did not shy away from acknowledging that their co-parenting dynamic still experiences “explosive moments.” She pointed to a recent disagreement over school choice, where Taylor’s preference for a charter program clashed with her desire for a local Montessori curriculum. Sources at E! News confirm that the debate escalated into a two-day email volley before legal counsel intervened to reaffirm their agreed negotiation process. Cartwright told Access Hollywood that while emotions occasionally spike, both parents are committed to conflict-resolution protocols outlined in their parenting plan.
Experts observe that such volatility is not uncommon in high-conflict separations, especially when children are in early developmental stages. Dr. Stephanie Chang, a family therapist cited by RadarOnline, notes that “setting clear boundaries and using neutral communication tools are proven strategies to minimize flare-ups,” exactly what Cartwright and Taylor have begun employing. The couple also introduced monthly mediation sessions this spring, which have defused at least 75 percent of potential disputes before they escalated.
As they head into the summer months—when Taylor’s work schedule intensifies and Cartwright launches a podcast series on modern motherhood—their commitment to this co-parenting model will face fresh tests. With data-driven tools and professional support, they appear poised to navigate the ups and downs more smoothly than during their initial post-divorce phase.
Stay critical, stay informed—more updates will follow as this evolving co-parenting case develops.
