When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade—or, in Brittany Cartwright’s case, you order booze!
Just hours after dropping the bombshell that she’s divorcing Jax Taylor, Brittany was caught popping bottles, and she’s not exactly hiding her excitement. But was the alcohol to celebrate her newfound freedom, or just a little something to get her through the day?
Either way, the former Vanderpump Rules star seems to be soaking up her single status, and she’s doing it with a big smile on her face—and a towel wrapped around her body.
Brittany Seemed To Be Celebrating Her Divorce
Brittany isn’t one to sulk after a breakup—instead, she’s opting for a celebratory drink. The reality TV star, known for her time on Vanderpump Rules and now The Valley, decided to mark her split from Jax Taylor in style.
On the very same day she filed for divorce, Brittany was spotted receiving a booze delivery right at her doorstep. Clad in a bathing suit and a towel, Brittany greeted the Uber Eats delivery driver with a grin that screamed, “I’m single and ready to mingle!” or perhaps, “I’m ready for a strong drink,” TMZ reports.
Whether she’s thrilled about the end of her five-year marriage or just in need of a stiff cocktail, Brittany isn’t showing any signs of sadness. The bubbly she ordered may have been the perfect companion to toast her new chapter.
Brittany Isn’t Wearing Her Wedding Ring
One detail that’s impossible to ignore in the latest photos? Brittany’s missing wedding ring. While her smile was front and center, that ring finger was noticeably bare—a sign she’s more than ready to move on. Brittany hasn’t been seen wearing her ring since June, and it’s clear the symbol of her marriage isn’t making a comeback anytime soon.
This booze-fueled moment comes just after the news broke that Brittany officially filed for divorce earlier this month. The split doesn’t come as a complete shock, though. Back in February, Brittany and Jax announced they were separating, leaving fans wondering when one of reality TV’s most talked-about couples would call it quits for good.
Now, it’s official: Brittany is done, and she’s making moves to ensure her future is bright—and probably a little tipsy.
For those who’ve followed Brittany and Jax’s journey, their relationship has been anything but smooth sailing. The couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Kentucky in June 2019, surrounded by family, friends, and plenty of reality TV drama. Their wedding was a highlight on Vanderpump Rules, showcasing their love—and the many ups and downs that came with it.
But after five years of marriage, Brittany decided enough was enough. In February 2024, she and Jax announced their separation, citing the need for some space. Fast forward a few months, and Brittany took the final step by filing for divorce.
In her court documents, Brittany is asking for primary legal and physical custody of their 3-year-old son, Cruz, and she’s also made it clear she doesn’t want either of them to receive spousal support.
While Brittany might not be throwing a full-blown divorce bash (yet), her latest actions suggest she’s more than prepared to celebrate her single life. With booze on hand and a carefree attitude, Brittany is stepping into her new chapter with confidence—and maybe a little bit of sass. As she closes the door on her marriage to Jax, it’s clear Brittany is ready for whatever comes next, whether that’s more bottles or new beginnings.
