Brittany Cartwright and her estranged husband Jax Taylor were seen reuniting for the first time since announcing their shock separation after four years of marriage on their joint podcast When Reality Hits.
Following her recent move out of their marital home in Sherman Oaks to a $15K-a-month rental property, just 12 minutes away from her ex, the father-of-one, 44, paid a visit to the 35-year-old reality star’s new digs as he picked up their son for some quality time.
While the former SUR waitress lent a hand loading their little one into his car seat, an eyewitness told DailyMail.com that the former couple ‘appeared tense’ and ‘were not very chatty with each other.’
The insider described their exchange as brief and ‘business-like.’
When Taylor first arrived, Cartwright was seen taking out her trash while rocking a black denim jacket over a white and brown flannel shirt, black pants and white sneakers.

Meanwhile, Taylor was dressed in merchandise promoting his Studio City bar, Jax’s, for the occasion.
His trip was short, as he only went inside the house for a half hour before emerging with Cartwright to load their son into a white Jeep.
Later, Cartwright, who changed her clothes and went off to film a project at a studio in Burbank, was seen wearing a sweatshirt with the words ‘better days ahead’ emblazoned on the back.
The duo met back up at her new rental when Taylor dropped off Cruz.
Cartwright was noticeably still wearing her wedding ring on both sightings.
Earlier in the day, Taylor was seen leaving their Valley Village home and heading to his bar on a red and black golf cart.
He parked in a no-parking zone for the disabled, despite not appearing to have any injuries or disabilities.

Brittany announced the news this week on When Reality Hits, confirming: ‘Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.’
However, Brittany also later hinted that the ‘split’ could be temporary, as she asked fans to ‘pray for us,’ and added that she believes ‘everything will be just fine.’
Signs of their relationship trouble and marital woes will most likely unfold on their new reality show The Valley, which premieres on March 19.
The beloved Bravo stars tied the knot in a fairy-tale themed wedding ceremony on June 2019 in Kentucky after a year-long engagement.

But it seems as though the fairy-tale is over, at least for now.
‘Many of you guys have been asking me about Jax and I and our relationship,’ Brittany said in the podcast episode released Thursday.
The star – who shares a two-year-old son, Cruz, with Jax – added: ‘I just think it’s important to be real and honest with you guys because we’ve shared so much of our lives with you guys.’

Brittany then specifically referenced some issues the pair have been having.
‘On my last podcast I alluded to many marriages go through rocky times. Yes, marriages in general are very hard and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year.
Going on to suggest they’ve now temporarily split, she said: ‘Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.’
Admitting that the split is ‘still very hard to talk about’ she added that she is just ‘taking one day at a time.’
‘I don’t know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz,’ Brittany added.
