“Jax and Brittany want to focus on their family and their new journey,” a rep for the couple told Us Weekly. “They are very excited for their son and they have some projects they are working on that allow them to share their own lives without Bravo's limitations.”
Jax and Brittany announced their exit on Friday, Dec. 4 on Instagram and Bravo confirmed they won't be returning. The couple shared identical statements upon confirming that they were leaving Vanderpump Rules, calling their time on the series “some of the most challenging, rewarding and fulfilling years” of their lives. “We are excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors. @bravotv, @evolutionusa and our Vanderpump castmates will always remain close to our hearts,” they wrote. “Thank you to all the fans who have shared our journey with us and supported us through everything. We love you.”
However, fans noticed the similarities in the couple’s announcements — and Cartwright hinted that they weren’t given the freedom to construct their own departures.
“I’m tired of seeing this comment. Do you guys really truly think we got to write whatever we wanted?” she replied to one Instagram user, sparking speculation that the network had a hand in crafting their statements.
Taylor previously told disappointed fans that it “doesn’t make sense” for him and his wife to be on the series anymore. “I am 41 with a baby on the way … was the best choice for my whole family,” he said on Friday.
