Bravo has resumed filming the upcoming movie Vanderpump Rules spinoff The valley to capture the recent news of Jax Taylor And Brittany Cartwright‘s divorce.
“We picked up cameras,” Cartwright, 35, confirmed on the Friday, March 8, episode of the “When reality hits“podcast. “We filmed The valley in July, August and September, so we wrapped September. We got picked up again to let everyone know what was going on with our lives for a few days.
Cartwright asked fans to keep the show’s filming schedule in mind while watching and remember that “a lot has changed since we wrapped the show.”
Last month, Cartwright announced on her joint podcast with Taylor, 44, that her marriage was on the rocks.
“Marriages are very difficult and I have had a particularly difficult year,” she said on February 29. “Jax and I are taking some time apart and I have made the decision to move to another house to take some space for the sake of my mental health. I won’t go into too much detail now because this is still very difficult to talk about.
Cartwright – who shares two-year-old son Cruz with Taylor – also dropped her husband’s last name from social media after discussing her relationship status.
For Taylor, he called the evolving status with his wife “fresh and new.”
“It’s not malice or nastiness,” he said Page six on February 29. ‘They are just two people with whom you are now reaching the ten-year mark in their marriage. We spend some time together and try to reassess our situation. “We have a child involved and we just want to do what’s best for our child.”
The romance between Taylor and Cartwright played out for the first time Vanderpump Rules in 2015. The couple eventually had their wedding filmed for the series before leaving the show in 2020.
But this month, viewers can thanks The valley. The series follows a group of close friends who trade bottle service in West Hollywood for baby bottles in the Valley, as they navigate corporations, rocky relationships and testy friendships.
In her latest podcast episode, Cartwright said she’s still looking forward to the show’s premiere, even though her marriage has evolved since filming initially wrapped.
“We are still so excited,” she said. “It’s going to be such a good show. There are so many positive things we experience. There is a lot of drama.”
For those still wondering if Cartwright and Taylor’s relationship problems are just a publicity stunt, both reality stars had a message for the skeptics.
“This is our real life,” Cartwright said. ‘I would never uproot my child if it wasn’t for the best and if we didn’t have to work it out together. It’s not a publicity stunt.”
Taylor added: “It’s important for us to be honest with our fans… It’s exactly the right thing to do.”
The valley debuts Tuesday, March 19 on Bravo at 9pm ET. Episodes can be streamed the next day on Peacock.
