Brittany Cartwright is reportedly “hanging out” with “Bachelorette” alum Tanner Courtad as her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, seeks mental health treatment.
The pair met at a “Bachelorette” watch party on July 15 hosted at Jax’s Studio City, the Los Angeles bar Cartwright and Taylor opened last fall, per a report from the Daily Mail published Saturday.
The duo then attended another watch party and have been spending time together ever since, a source told the outlet. The insider even said Courtad has been “tagging along as Brittany films ‘The Valley.'”

The reality stars reportedly filmed at Dave and Buster’s for Janet Caperna’s birthday.
On July 27, Cartwright’s pal Logan Noh posted a photo on Instagam with the “Valley” star and Bachelor Nation stud, proving he’s been around.
Courtad, 31, and Cartwright, 35, also posed next to each other in a group shot taken at Jax’s Studio City on July 23 following another “Bachelorette” viewing party.
The snapshot had at least one fan excited that there could be chemistry between the two.
“I hope that really good looking guy standing next to Brittany is her date,” the fan wrote. “Girl girl I hope you move on and find you a real man. Praying for you.”
Adding to the evidence that Courtad and Cartwright have been getting close, the Daily Mail obtained photos of them hanging out together and grinning from ear to ear.
A source also claimed Cartwright has been “happier lately.”
Neither have publicly commented on the nature of their relationship.
Cartwright’s rep declined to comment on the report. Courtad, meanwhile, did not immediately return our request for comment.
The potentially blossoming romance comes days after Taylor, 45, confirmed he was seeking professional help for his mental health.
The “Vanderpump Rules” alum shared via his Instagram Story Wednesday a photo of him carrying and kissing his 3-year-old son, Cruz, and wrote, “Trying to get better for you buddy, daddy loves you so much.”
Taylor shares Cruz with Cartwright, who announced their separation on their podcast in February.
She later revealed she decided to move out of their shared home after Taylor allegedly screamed at her for hours following a night of drinking.
“Finally, after he’s already been screaming at me for hours … I packed me and Cruz up and we got the hell out of that house,” Cartwright recalled during the season finale of “The Valley” in June.
“I just kind of hit this point where I started noticing everything that he did to me.”
Taylor has previously confirmed he has issues controlling his temper and claimed he’s “working” on himself in hopes of saving their crumbling relationship.
