Brittany Cartwright wasted no time moving on after her breakup with Jax Taylor!
A close source revealed that Brittany started secretly seeing Jax’s friend shortly after their split, as reported by Page Six.
It was disclosed that right after Jax and Brittany ended their relationship in February, the star of “Vanderpump Rules” engaged in a “casual” fling with Julian Sensley, a former basketball player turned actor who worked as a bouncer at TomTom.
Following their separation, Brittany reportedly had a brief “casual” physical relationship with Julian, causing her estranged husband to react strongly upon hearing about the involvement.
The source also revealed that Julian’s involvement with Brittany was part of the reason why Jax sought mental health treatment in July of 2024.
Julian is now engaged and has a child with his fiancee. Their relationship was reportedly on and off, facing a rough patch during his involvement with Brittany.
In a June interview with E! News, Brittany disclosed that they had agreed to see other people if they wished. “We’ve said going into this that we could test the waters with other people if we wanted to,” she shared.
The drama surrounding their relationship is expected to be featured in Season 2 of “The Valley,” set to air in 2025. Julian also has an older child, and there were previous rumors linking him romantically to Lala Kent from “Vanderpump Rules.”

What Have Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor Said About the Split?
Following her divorce filing, Brittany shared on the “When Reality Hits” podcast about the challenges she faced and her optimism for the future.
She expressed, “My decision to file wasn’t made lightly or quickly. It’s taken me many, many years to get to this point where I gained enough courage and strength to do what’s best for me, get myself out of a toxic relationship and ultimately see my worth.”
Jax also acknowledged the divorce as the right choice for their family, showing support for Brittany on a separate podcast episode. “Brittany did file for divorce. I understand why she did and I agree that this is the right decision for our family,” he admitted.
Taking responsibility for his faults, Jax added, “I don’t blame her at all. I mean, I can’t believe she’s been with me this long as it is. That we stayed, to be honest,” reflecting on their past together.
