Vanderpump Rules alum Jax Taylor was spotted getting close to a mystery woman at The Oaks Tavern in Sherman Oaks amid his separation from Brittany Cartwright.
The reality TV star and bar owner, 44, tried to go incognito in a ball cap with friends, but TMZ reported it was clear as day that it was the father-of-one on Friday night.
The outlet reported that Jax and the unidentified woman arrived at the bar together around 11:30 PM.
They joined a table of friends, some of whom took part in karaoke while enjoying their night out.
People on the scene reported that Jax and the woman left together about 90 minutes after arriving.
They looked very cozy with each other as they hit the road at 1:00AM.

The outing comes after his estranged wife, 35, spoke with her costar Tom Schwartz on her podcast, When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany, about the new low point she and Jax have hit in their always rocky relationship.
‘Right now…I can’t even be in the same room with him very long,’ she said in the episode that aired earlier this week. ‘Last time you were here…you were like, “I forgot you guys were even separated.” So it’s very up and down like that.’
Schwartz said that from his point of view as both of their friends, he thought that the two ‘do a good job of respecting each other’s boundaries.’
‘He hasn’t done a good job respecting mine, that’s for sure,’ Brittany interjected.
‘But we gotta remember I’m the one that’s living elsewhere and… I feel like I’m the one that’s taking all the hard hits even though I was the one who had to leave,’ she explained.
Tom spaced out for a minute and when he snapped back he joked: ‘I’m using transcendental meditation right now.
‘I’ve gone to another place. I’m back in Florida, I’m on the beach, I’ve got a really cold Corona Light in my hand, a shot of Patrón, and I’m happy.’
Jax and Brittany’s relationship first started showing seismic cracks when they were both on Vanderpump Rules.
Taylor recently split from his wife of nearly five years, Brittany Cartwright – who currently can’t stand to be in the same room as the father of her son Cruz, 3

They ultimately announced they had separated and ‘taking time apart’ in a statement shared on Instagram in late February.
Over the years on VPR and now The Valley fans have watched Jax criticize and berate his wife.
Brittany’s friends on The Valley reacted to Jax bad mouthing Brittany by criticizing her drinking.
‘I would drink too if I was married to Jax,’ was the sentiment shared by most of her female costars.
