Brittany Cartwright opened up about her previous plans to expand her family with estranged husband Jax Taylor before they announced their split in February.
The 35-year-old reality star — who welcomed son Cruz with Jax, 44, in April 2021 — revealed the former couple were ‘officially trying’ for another child during Tuesday’s episode of Vanderpump Rules.
During a conversation with former co-star Scheana Shay about pregnancy plans, Brittany was asked if she and Jax were considering a sibling for Cruz.
‘Yeah, this month we’re officially trying,’ she replied.
The timing of the filmed conversation is uncertain, but it likely occurred during the filming of Season 11 of VPR, which took place between June and September 2023.

The confession comes after Brittany admitted to DailyMail.com that she and Jax were in the baby-making mood weeks before their split.
‘Everything is going great with Jax, he’s an amazing father and it’s made me fall in love with him even more,’ said the TV star at the time.
‘It’s been so good for our relationship to be working again. It got a little weird after we left Vanderpump Rules, but now we’re back on track and I think it’s good for us to both stay busy.’
She also said she looked forward to welcoming a second child soon.
‘We do want to welcome a second child. I definitely want another baby 100%. I am not pregnant right now but I’ve talked to Jax about it. We don’t want our children to be too far apart in age.’
And she was thrilled they had so many new projects: in addition to The Valley, they have a new bar and podcast. ‘We’re very grateful for all that we have and all these opportunities,’ noted the pinup.
However, she did seem to hint at some issues to DailyMail.com.
The star said that she felt her husband could do more during a February interview.

She said she expected him to plan a romantic date for Valentine’s Day which fell on February 14.
‘For Valentine’s Day I asked Jax to take the lead because I’m so busy being a mom that I think he needs to plan everything for that one day,’ the Jenny Craig spokesperson shared.
‘I think it’s the one day of the year were a man should step up and do some thing for his woman to show he appreciates her because all year long women do so much for men.’
She added it is really not the responsibility of the woman to plan and host Valentine’s Day.
‘He can plan this one day of the year,’ she said matter-of-factly.
She announced the news this week on their joint podcast When Reality Hits that she and Jax were over.
‘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.
