Bravo has resumed filming its upcoming Vanderpump Rules spinoff The Valley to capture the recent news of Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright‘s separation. Cartwright confirmed that cameras were picked up to film The Valley in July, August, and September, with filming resuming recently to update viewers on their current lives.
Cartwright announced on a podcast that her marriage was facing challenges, leading to a decision to take time apart for the sake of her mental health. The couple, who share a 2-year-old son, emphasized that their separation is not rooted in malice but rather a need to reassess their relationship for the well-being of their child.
The Valley, set to premiere on March 19, will provide viewers with an inside look into the couple's reality as they navigate businesses, relationships, and friendships in the Valley. Despite the changes in their marriage since filming wrapped, Cartwright expressed excitement for the show's debut, highlighting the mix of positive experiences and drama that viewers can expect.
In response to speculation about the authenticity of their relationship troubles, both Cartwright and Taylor affirmed that their situation is genuine and not a publicity stunt. They emphasized the importance of honesty with their fans and the need to address their evolving relationship openly.
The Valley is scheduled to air on Bravo at 9 p.m. ET on March 19, with episodes available for streaming the next day on Peacock. Viewers can anticipate an intimate portrayal of Cartwright and Taylor's journey as they navigate the complexities of their personal lives amidst the backdrop of reality television.
