public response from Cartwright<\/a>, who has made it clear she feels deeply betrayed by both her estranged husband and her former friend.<\/p>\nDuring recent interviews, Cartwright described Krebs as someone who had been like family for years, saying the publicist helped her through some of the darkest moments of her marriage before beginning a relationship with Taylor. <\/p>\n
She has since fired Krebs and didn\u2019t hold back when discussing the situation publicly.<\/p>\n
Taylor acknowledged that Cartwright has \u201cevery right\u201d to be upset, but insisted \u201ca lot of the stuff she\u2019s saying is untrue.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also argued that many of the issues she\u2019s raising stem from years ago, pointing to the extensive rehab and mental health treatment he\u2019s undergone since the couple separated in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve gone through countless amounts of rehab [and] countless amounts of mental health facilities,\u201d Taylor said, adding that he believes it\u2019s unfair for old issues to continue defining him.<\/p>\n
\nQuestions about the timeline have fueled much of the controversy.<\/p>\n
Taylor and Krebs first sparked speculation back in 2024 after appearing together in social media photos, though those rumors were denied at the time.<\/p>\n
According to a source who spoke with Page Six<\/a>, however, the romantic relationship didn\u2019t begin until several months ago.<\/p>\nThe insider said both Taylor and Krebs were single when they got together and that their relationship developed naturally while Krebs supported Taylor through his struggles with substance abuse and mental health.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first relationship he\u2019s been in sober,\u201d the source claimed, adding that Taylor is \u201ctaking it very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n
Krebs has not commented publicly on the relationship. She\u2019s a publicist, after all, so she probably knows what sort of PR headaches will come with dating Jax.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
