Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor were “trying” to expand their brood before their split.
During Tuesday night’s episode of “Vanderpump Rules,” Cartwright got candid about their family planning during a conversation with former costar Scheana Shay.
“Are you and Brock [Davies] going to have any more?” Cartwright asked Shay, who is mom to daughter Summer, almost 3.
“I don’t think I ever want to be pregnant again because I don’t want to chance dying,” Shay, 38, replied.
The “Good as Gold” singer then asked Cartwright, 35, if she and Taylor, 44, were “trying” to give their 3-year-old son, Cruz, a sibling.
“Yeah, this month we’re officially trying,” Cartwright shared.
While it’s unclear exactly when the conversation took place, Season 11 of “VPR” was filmed from June to September 2023.
The Bravolebrities announced their separation in February 2024 after nearly five years of marriage and have lived apart ever since.
Despite Cartwright claiming she and Taylor were trying for baby No.2, she previously revealed there wasn’t much baby-making going on between the two.
On an episode of “The Valley” earlier this month, the mother of one opened up about their lack of intimacy during a confessional.
“When Jax and I first met, it was awesome. We were having sex all the time, 24/7, and I mean, we didn’t miss a day,” Cartwright recalled. “And then, it has just changed dramatically. I’m talking twice in the past year.”
Taylor sang a similar tune during his one-on-one chat with Bravo cameras, admitting he was partly to “blame.”
“The romantic spark is just not there right now,” he explained. “I will take blame, yeah, I let that spark fizzle. It’s just not fair to either one of us. Especially, it’s not fair to my wife because she deserves to have a man be loving for her.”
However, he noted that having a child drastically changed their dynamic.
“Your sex life and your marriage kind of take a back seat when you have a child,” he reasoned. “It’s a big deal and I don’t want it to become a bigger deal.”
Cartwright exclusively revealed to Page Six in March that Taylor’s lack of interest was part of the reason they separated.
“We’ve been together nine years, and people stop appreciating and take you for granted after some time — and that should never happen in a marriage,” she told us.
“So that’s what I’m trying to get back, and if it doesn’t come back, then we won’t get back together.”
On top of their unsatisfying sex life, Cartwright also said she felt like Taylor wasn’t putting in effort to fix other issues in their marriage.
“I’ve asked him for a while to do certain things and nothing has come from that,” she told TMZ.
“Whenever you fight with somebody for so long, there’s only so much you can take, and you know, I deserve better, Cruz deserves better.”
Neither Taylor nor Cartwright have filed for or mentioned divorce.
