Jax Taylor’s Sobriety Update
According to the Vanderpump Rules alum, he ceased drinking and using any substances on November 27, 2024. Since then, he has set specific guidelines when around alcohol.
“The guidelines are that I typically don’t stay longer than an hour. If my friends are drinking, I usually don’t stick around for more than an hour,” he shared. “Being around people hitting their third drink becomes quite annoying. … I just prefer to avoid it.”
Instead of bar outings, Taylor enjoys spending quality time at the gym, where he can lift nearly 300 pounds.
Who Can Speak to Jax Taylor’s Progress?
Since the conclusion of The Valley filming season 2, Taylor mentioned that he has been striving to steer clear of any drama with the cast.
While some costars have been prompted to comment on Taylor’s progress following his mental health treatment, the Bravo star indicated that Tom Schwartz is the most qualified to discuss any transformations.
“The only person who consistently sees me is Tom,” Taylor noted. “When we hang out, he’s always saying, ‘You seem much calmer. You’re more alert.’ He often applauds how I’ve managed everything because it is a lot. I haven’t been around everyone, so how could anyone else know?”
How Often Does Jax Taylor See His Son?
While the latest episodes of The Valley depict Taylor’s struggle to see his 4-year-old son Cruz, there has been improvement since filming ended.
“I see Cruz frequently, probably two to four times a week,” he stated. “There’s no full custody situation. That never happened. Brittany and I just have different schedules.”
How Is Jax Taylor’s Coparenting Relationship With Brittany Cartwright?
“Coparenting right now is going as well as it can,” Taylor shared on the podcast. “Could it be better? Of course. Could it be worse? Definitely. I can’t complain about it. Things are going pretty well.”
Are Tom Schwartz and Lala Kent Dating?
Despite both parties having already denied all dating speculations, Taylor also confirmed that his two former Vanderpump Rules costars are not romantically involved.
“Lala would eat him alive,” Taylor joked in response to the rumors.
He also clarified that he has never been involved with Kent, 34.
