Public VS Private Life

Even though Brittany and Jax have had their relationship documented on television, Brittany shared that seeing such a private matter play out in public has been challenging. She emphasized the realness she aims to maintain with her audience.

While there were past issues of infidelity in their relationship that were resolved, it remains unclear if it played a part in their recent decision to divorce.

Brittany’s Personal Journey

Brittany made it clear that the divorce was not a publicity stunt. She explained that the decision to file for divorce was a result of years of introspection where she built the courage to leave a toxic relationship and prioritize her well-being and self-worth. Her motivation now is her son, Cruzie, who deserves a happy and healthy mother.

Looking ahead, Brittany and Jax will be handling their podcast separately, marking a significant change after their marriage in 2019 and their shared son, Cruz.
