Jax Taylor’s future on ‘The Valley’ revealed after rehab stint, mental health issues

Jax Taylor’s run on Bravo has come to an end — for now.

“After an incredibly challenging year and many honest conversations with my team and producers, I’ll be stepping away from the next season of ‘The Valley,’” he announced in a statement to Variety Wednesday.

“Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting relationship. Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself — especially for our son, Cruz.”

Page Six has reached out to his rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Taylor’s exit from the series comes after he spent two stints in rehab for a cocaine addiction.

“This is tough to say. … I’m an addict. I have substance issues, primarily with cocaine. Oh, that’s hard to say out loud,” the reality star, 46, admitted on Bravo’s “Hot Mic” podcast in March.

 “I don’t necessarily think I have an alcohol problem, but the two go hand in hand. I can’t do cocaine without drinking, so I just gave up both, and I’m proud to say I’m 82, 83 days sober right now.”

Taylor has also been in the midst of a contentious divorce from his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright.

She filed for the dissolution of their marriage in August 2024 after five years of marriage and having a 4-year-old son, Cruz, together. She sought  legal and physical custody of their son, with Taylor solely getting visitation rights at the time.

The former couple’s issues have been front and center of “The Valley”‘s Season 2 storyline, with the exes constantly fighting over custody issues and Taylor’s substance abuse problems.

In March, Cartwright, 36, revealed the explosive fight that finally led the pair to calling it quits for good.

She claimed that after a night of partying in November 2024, her estranged husband was in a horrible mood” and began “making her cry” on the way to their son Cruz’s doctor’s appointment. She claimed he had been using drugs the night prior and was hungover.

The reality star said the day of the confrontation was the “same day” Taylor got into a hit-and-run.

Prior to appearing on “The Valley,” Taylor was one of the breakout stars on “Vanderpump Rules.”

However, he and Cartwright were fired from the hit show in 2020 before returning to the network.
