As Brittany Cartwright’s newly single life and ongoing divorce from Jax Taylor plays out on The Valley Season 3, she’s opening up to BravoTV.com about her dating life, fling with Brandon Hanson, and what she’s “dreading watching back.”
How to Watch
The Valley Season 3 airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.
“I feel like the fact that I was in like a ‘mini’ relationship for a second is kind of cringy,” she admitted. “So, I’m a little worried about that.”
Although they later broke up in October 2025 after a few months of dating, Brittany and Brandon made their relationship official during the April 15 episode, and Brittany defended her decision to date an old friend from her home state of Kentucky.
“I keep going back to the fact that I knew him for so long, and, like, he was a really good friend to me, back in the day,” she shared during The Valley After Show. “And I felt like, I actually know this person.”
But, she reflected that she may have ignored some problems that come to light during The Valley. “I mean, drama was happening as soon as people found out that we were dating,” she admitted on the After Show. “There was a lot of red flags.”

Is Brittany Cartwright single or dating?
Brittany clarified to BravoTV.com that when it comes to her love life today, she’s “single as a pringle.”
“I’m not in a relationship. I have situationships, but not relationships,” she explained. “So, just having fun.”
Back in Feb. 2026 as she was on Lala Kent’s Untraditionally Lala podcast, Brittany shared she expects her single status to change once she’s officially divorced. “Honestly, I think once my divorce is final, it’s going to open new doors for me in a weird way. A lot of stuff I do is in private,” she said.

As Brittany navigates single life, she shared there’s one person she goes to for dating advice: Lala. “We still believe in love, even though we’ve been treated like s—t,” she joked to BravoTV.com.
She then explained, “I think me and Lala actually talk about dating a lot more than with everyone else, because we’re in the same place.”
Lala is also on the dating scene while juggling two daughters, Ocean and Sosa. Lala shared with BravoTV.com in March, “I would like to find my person,” and later added, “I’m finally just out here ready to mingle.”

Brittany expressed that she’s currently in a similar mindset. “We’re ready to date, and you know, we’re always showing each other the guys that we think are hot, and doing different stuff like that,” she explained. “And just like, trying to take our time, but also have fun, because we deserve that.”
Lala added the two are “on the same page.” She detailed, “Like, we’re both a little freaky. So, there’s no judgement there.” She also joked, “I need advice from Brittany on like, ‘Do I send the nude, or do I not send the nude?’”
As far as which couple Brittany would turn to for love advice, she called out Janet and Jason Caperna. “I think Janet and Jason have a wonderful marriage, and it’s not shown how great it is actually very often. So, I think they have a great marriage,” she told BravoTV.com.
