Brittany Cartwright’s son is having a difficult time with his parents’ separation.
The Valley star, 35, spoke with PEOPLE in a new interview, giving an update on her home life since announcing that she and husband Jax Taylor, 44, are taking some time away from each other. The estranged couple is parents to son Cruz, 2.
“He’s still at the house,” Cartwright confirms, referring to the home she and Taylor share in the Valley of Los Angeles. “And I’ve been staying in different Airbnbs for months at a time.”
“Trust me, I told him he could stay in the Airbnb that I pay for,” she continues. “But he doesn’t want to leave the house. So, it’s tough. But I still go back to the house whenever [Taylor isn’t] there.”

The reality TV star notes that if Taylor is out of the house, she’ll go back. “That is my house, you know,” Cartwright adds. “So that part is very weird. But the space is needed, big time.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Cartwright spoke of how she and Taylor are prioritizing their son amid their separation.
“We’re doing a really good job going back and forth,” Cartwright says of their co-parenting. “And I’ll also take him to the house and play and we’ll swim one day or have him play on his play set and we’ll do different things.”

“Jax will take him to Sky Zone, or he’ll take him to the park one day. But that’s the most important thing. So I think it’s honestly been better because we aren’t fighting in front of him. And for me, I think that’s what is most important, right now. Because that’s why I had to get him out of that situation in the first place.”
In February, Cartwright and Taylor announced that they were taking some time apart, with Cartwright sharing the news on their joint podcast When Reality Hits.
As she explained that she and her former husband are currently living separately, Cartwright said that she is most concerned about their son Cruz.
“I’m taking it one day at a time,” Cartwright said of the separation. “I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz and I love you guys. Pray for us and everything will be just fine. We’re good.”
