Why did ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright split?

Despite rumors suggesting infidelity as the cause of their separation, Cartwright clarified that it was actually a lack of physical intimacy that prompted her decision to leave her estranged husband, according to Business Insider. To salvage their relationship, Cartwright expressed her desire to reignite the physical aspect of their connection.

However, she noted that he had yet to fulfill these requests, indicating a lack of effort on his part to address their concerns.
