‘Hottie’ Brittany Cartwright shows ex Jax Taylor what he’s missing in sizzling swimsuit photos
Brittany Cartwright turned up the heat in a series of sizzling swimsuit snaps amid her divorce from Jax Taylor.
In one of her poolside pics shared to Instagram Thursday, the “Valley” star emphasized what her ex is missing in a strappy, plunging one-piece swimsuit with a mesh overlay.
She styled her long, highlighted locks in soft curls around her shoulders and rocked a natural glam for the mini photo shoot.
Cartwright, 36, then hopped into the pool to model a hot pink cutout swimsuit in two snaps. The reality TV star had a swimsuit line with Cupshe, which she shouted out in the caption.

“I had my own line with them and I recently got to walk in Miami swim week for their collection, which was a dream come true!” she wrote in part, adding that the company is celebrating their 10th anniversary with 10 new looks.

“Got rid of all that dead weight( ex husband), and now look at you! Healthy and beautiful ❤️,” quipped yet another.
Cartwright filed for divorce from her soon-to-be former co-star, 46, after five years of marriage in August 2024, citing irreconcilable differences and listing a January 2024 date of separation. The rocky split has since escalated, with the TV personality accusing her estranged husband of secretly recording her in her home during the second season of “The Valley.”
A source told People following the filing that the reality star hoped to end the “tumultuous cycle they’ve been living in.”
“This decision wasn’t made lightly but she feels adamant that it was the right one,” they added in part.

“Working out is so important to me and for my mental health,” she told E! News in 2024. brittany/Instagram
The source explained that the split between Cartwright and Taylor — who share son Cruz, 4 — was “a long time coming.”
Cartwright was most recently linked to musician Will Gittens, after a source told Page Six in May that they were dating.
As for her beach-ready physique, Cartwright once confessed she would “definitely love to lose some weight.” However, she’s more focused on setting a positive example for Cruz.
“I just think it’s important to show him a healthy routine,” she told E! News in February 2024. “Working out is so important to me and for my mental health. I just think that being involved in a good healthy journey is super important for me.”
