A judge has granted Jax Taylor a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, Us can exclusively confirm.
According to court documents obtained by Us on Tuesday, September 1, Taylor’s request was both partly granted and denied. The judge noted that part of the request was denied because an adequate ruling requires a hearing. A court date has been scheduled for September 24.
Taylor’s temporary restraining order will expire on September 24, the same day as the pair’s upcoming court date.
Earlier on Tuesday, Us reported that Taylor, 47, filed a request asking the court to deny Cartweight’s temporary restraining order and instead order that she stay more than 100 yards away from him and his home. Taylor claimed that Cartwright, 37, has repeatedly referred to him as “an abuser.” He alleged that she “seems determined to make this a label that sticks, even though [he has] done nothing to deserve this.”
Us reached out to Cartwright’s rep for comment regarding the temporary restraining order and her ex’s claims but did not immediately hear back.
Last month, Cartwright was granted a temporary restraining order against Taylor after she accused him of several instances of domestic violence.
After the order was granted, Taylor broke his silence and admitted to regrettable behavior while denying his estranged wife’s allegations.
“I made a lot of mistakes and behaved in ways during that period of my life that I’m truly ashamed of and regret and take full responsibility for,” Taylor told Us in a statement on August 28. “The person I was in 2024, during the darkest time of my life and at the height of my addiction, is not the person I am today.”
Taylor and Cartwright are best known for their time on Vanderpump Rules. The exes, who share son Cruz, tied the knot in 2019 and separated five years later. Taylor has since moved on with their once-shared publicist, Lori Krebs.
Months before officially filing for divorce from Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright exclusively told Us Weekly what would push her to sever marital ties. “We need to have a serious conversation,” Cartwright, 35, shared in an April Us cover story about where she stood at the time with Taylor, 45. “Every time I try to talk […]
Over the years, Taylor struggled with substance abuse. He has since prioritized his sobriety.
“I got help, went to treatment, and today I’m 1 year and 9 months sober. I’ve remained committed to treatment and therapy, working on myself and changing my life,” Taylor’s statement continued. “There are allegations being made that I strongly dispute. The full story, context and evidence will be addressed where it belongs — in court. I will respect the court’s orders and the legal process.”
Taylor added that his “focus continues to be my sobriety, working on my mental health, being the best father I can be to Cruz and moving forward in a healthy and responsible way.”
