Brittany Cartwright is thriving following her separation from Jax Taylor — just ask her new pooch! Brittany revealed this week that she has adopted a new puppy and sharing all the details about the dog.
The Valley cast member shared adorable photos of her new dog, Dolly, on Instagram. One of the snaps featured Brittany posing with the adorable pooch, and another captured her three-year-old son, Cruz, hugging the precious pup. She also shared some solo shots of her new puppy, including a snap of Dolly napping on a cozy couch and a pic of her soaking up the sun outside.
“Everyone meet Dolly. We just adopted this sweet girl [four] days ago and she’s as sweet as pie!” Brittany said in the caption. “Looks like this ‘woman’ can take care of her house, her beautiful son, [three] dogs, and a cat … all on her own. What about that?”
It’s fair to assume that her caption is a response to comments made by her ex-husband. During Season 2, Episode 10 of The Valley, Jax argued that Brittany should sell their $2 million farmhouse in the San Fernando Valley during a conversation with Jesse Lally.
Brittany Cartwright reveals if she plans to sell her Los Angeles house
Amid her many life changes, Brittany is not interested in selling the home she once shared with Jax and now raises her son and their many pets in.
“It is not going for sale anytime soon,” she explained on the Feb. 7 episode of her podcast. “This is another reason why I’m hustling, because I’m going to take care of my household and I’m going to take care of my son and I’m just very proud that I have been able to do all of this by myself. But yeah, this is my house. I’ve completely taken over everything and definitely not going to sell this baby anytime soon. I love her.”
Brittany did run into trouble during Episode 7, when she found out Jax skipped several months of mortgage payments on the home. However, Jax claimed he rectified the situation in a later episode.
Brittany made it clear that she now owns the Valley Village home and covers all the bills herself in an interview with People magazine from April. “This is my house. I’m proud of myself, that I could do it by myself,” she told the outlet. “I’m a girl from Kentucky, and I never even thought I would have a house like this… He does not help me at all, with any of my bills. So I’m just proud of myself that I’m able to do it.”
Brittany Cartwright’s home renovations amid Jax split
Brittany has ushered in many life changes after her tumultuous separation from Jax. In addition to adopting a new puppy, the Southern Belle also changed up her interior design style at her Valley home.
The former SURver opened up about her home renovations during Part 7 of The Valley Aftershow. She told Lala Kent that there are no longer photos of Jax in the house, adding that there is “nothing that you can walk in and see” that reflects former relationship.
The single mom took the renovation one step further, turning Jax’s “man cave” into a custom storage room for Christmas and Halloween decorations. She also redid the gym, giving it a “super girly” aesthetic with tons of pink accent pieces.
“You couldn’t tell that Jax ever lived there,” Brittany declared. “My front mat says The Cartwrights!”
