The Divorce Filing Is A Welcome Back Gift To Jax Taylor
Cartwright's divorce filing could not have come at a more interesting time. Her estranged husband just left his inpatient treatment center, where he checked in for mental health issues following their separation.
Taylor was fired up to focus on his career upon his release from the treatment center, but this recent development may dampen his high spirits. The estranged pair's relationship began in 2015, and Taylor got down on one knee in June 2018 at Neptune's Net in Malibu.
They tied the knot in 2019 at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky, and lived happily until cracks began appearing in their union, as shown in the first season of "The Valley."

The Mother-Of-One Moved Out Of Their Marital Home In March
Back in March, a film crew was spotted outside their former home in Los Angeles. The Blast reported that the team was on the ground to capture Cartwright as she packed her luggage out of their home.
Although the move was tagged a publicity stunt for their upcoming spin-off show "The Valley," Cartwright appeared serious with her move.
She was spotted with a suitcase at her feet while chatting to members of the crew. The cameras reportedly kept on rolling as she retrieved more of her belongings from the home.
All this went on in Taylor's absence, as he was later spotted running errands around town in a branded ensemble for his new Studio City restaurant.
