Brittany Cartwright Seeks New Romance: “Make Me the Bachelorette!”
Oh, look at this—another celebrity yearning for love after a breakup. Who could’ve seen that coming? Brittany Cartwright, once the shining star of “The Valley,” is now navigating the turbulent waters of singlehood after her split with Jax Taylor. It seems like just yesterday that their 10-year relationship was the stuff of reality TV dreams, but lo and behold, here we are in February 2024, and she’s ready to dive back into the dating pool. Exciting stuff, isn’t it? Cartwright, at the ripe age of 36, has decided she’s not going to sit around feeling sorry for herself anymore. In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE, she boldly declared, “Mama is ready to date!” Really groundbreaking, Brittany.
Let’s break this down. After filing for divorce in August, Brittany has dipped her toes into the dating scene, but it sounds like she’s still floundering. A few casual outings here and there, but nothing “serious.” Shocking, I know. “I deserve to have butterflies again,” she laments, as if she’s the only one in the world looking for some romantic excitement. How original! Apparently, simple outings like watching movies in the back of a truck or having a picnic are her idea of a good date. No need for extravagant dinners; just a bit of kindness will do. But here’s the kicker: she’s now on high alert for “red flags” that she might have ignored during her tumultuous relationship with Jax. Honestly, how many times have we heard that story?
In case you were wondering, Brittany’s son Cruz, who is turning four, is a big part of her new dating criteria. She’s not about to introduce just anyone to her child until things get serious. How noble of her! It’s almost like parenting comes with its own set of responsibilities. And just to keep things spicy, Brittany also shared that Cruz received an autism diagnosis last fall, which she’s now publicly addressing before the new season of “The Valley” premieres. “My son is autistic, and he’s incredible,” she says. Well, that’s a nice sentiment, but it’s also a sad reminder of the complexities of life that reality TV glosses over.
It appears that co-parenting with Jax is a whole new ballgame for her. He’s attempting sobriety after two decades of addiction struggles, and Brittany has her doubts about his ability to be a responsible father. She’s prepared to enforce drug testing to ensure her son is safe, which, let’s be honest, sounds like a necessary precaution. Good luck, Brittany; you’re going to need it.
As the premiere of “The Valley” looms closer, we’re left to wonder if Brittany will find her Prince Charming on screen or if she’ll be stuck playing the role of the heartbroken mom for a little while longer. So, here’s to more drama, more tears, and the inevitable mess that comes with reality TV relationships. It’s just another day in paradise, isn’t it?
