Brittany Cartwright was seen for the first time with her new boyfriend Brandon Hanson on Thursday while on vacation in Mexico.
The 36-year-old Vanderpump Rules star had just landed at the Los Cabos airport with their luggage before the pair grabbed a quick bite at a taco stand.
Then they headed to the beach for a cuddle session.
The two walked side by side out to the shore then stopped to hug and passionately kiss as the sun was setting.
Cartwright, who is in the process of divorcing Jax Taylor, had on a white knit sweater over a blue one-piece swimsuit while barefoot with her hair up and big gold hoop earrings on.
Hanson wore a side-open tank top that flashed his numerous tattoos as he added turquoise swim trunks while modeling a Los Angeles Dodgers cap.
He also took a moment to light a cigarette, cupping his hands to keep the wind out.

Cartwright and Hanson seem to be a new couple as they were first seen together a week ago.
Daily Mail has reached out to the star’s representation for comment on the budding relationship.
This comes after Cartwright was slammed by Hanson’s wife for allegedly dating the reality star during their marriage.
After photos of the beauty and her new beau surfaced on TikTok, a woman purporting to be Hanson’s wife, Jasina Stanko, claimed he was still married.
‘That man is married,’ she wrote in the comments section.
Replying to another person commenting, she later added: ‘He’s my husband!!!’
When a follower quipped if Stanko had ‘dated’ Hanson too, she responded: ‘I married him. You know him?’
However, it appears that Cartwright’s boyfriend and his spouse have been separated for over half a year, a source told Page Six in response to Stanko’s comments.
‘Brittany’s new relationship comes at a time as they both are experiencing similar life changes,’ the insider divulged.

‘Like Brittany, he is going through a divorce, and he and his ex have been separated for the past seven months.’
This comes over a year after Cartwright split from her estranged husband Taylor, 46, after 10 years together and six of those years married.
The source also told the outlet that Cartwright and Hanson, who seemingly have known each other for a while, ‘reconnected well after he had already been separated’ from his ex.
The insider added that the pair bonded over their respective divorces.
‘The two have found comfort in each other as they’ve been navigating their respective divorces and personal life changes,’ the source shared.
Hanson has even won the stamp of approval from Cartwright’s pal Kristen Doute.
Cartwright’s new romance comes amid her contentious divorce battle with her estranged husband.
She filed the legal papers to end their marriage in August 2024 after five years of marriage, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’

The former couple share a four-year-old son named Cruz.
Months prior to Cartwright filing for divorce, she had already revealed to the public that they had been living separately for months.
In February 2024, she went on their joint podcast and announced their split.
‘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.’
Afterwards, it was revealed that Taylor had been battling a cocaine addiction and mental health issues, going to rehab after their split.
Prior to dating Hanson, Cartwright also had a fling with her ex’s friend Julien Sensley and dated Will Gittens. Taylor also had a fling himself with model Paige Woolen.
