Brittany Cartwright insists she “will always believe in love,” but her views on marriage have understandably changed since her separation from Jax Taylor.
The Valley cast member spoke candidly about her love life in the May 26 episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, admitting she didn’t envision herself walking down the aisle again. Brittany explained that her ongoing divorce ended her romanticized ideas of the legal union, so much so that she’ll take a much more pragmatic approach if she ever remarries.
How Brittany Cartwright would approach a second marriage
“I don’t know if I would legally sign papers again,” she told hosts Nkiki and Brie Garcia. “I think if I do fall in love with somebody and they’ve never been married and they want to have a little something, I would go to a beach somewhere, do something romantic and small. Something like that.
“But I don’t think I’m ever going to sign papers again,” she continued. “And if I did, I would definitely sign a prenup this time. Like, a thousand percent. So, who knows where life’s going to take me? I’m not really sure, but I don’t see it happening for me.”
Brittany Cartwright’s divorce from Jax Taylor changed her views on marriage
Brittany made similar comments during her March appearance on the I Do, Part 2 podcast, saying she didn’t like how her divorce from Jax shifted her perception of marriage.
“I was the girl that was like, ‘Oh, I’m going to get married in the castle and this and that.’ That’s how I’ve always been,” she said. “I love all of that. Do I think I will ever get married again? I don’t know.”
Brittany said she used to think prenuptial agreements were unnecessary, but now considers them a must.
“After going through this divorce with Jax, it’s like, my goodness,” she said. “And I hate that because I never wanted that before. I was like, ‘No, you don’t need a prenup. You’re in love, you don’t need any of that.’ And now I’m like, ‘Hell, yeah, you need that. Like, are you kidding me?’ This is crazy. You need to protect yourself because if they get mad, they come after everything, and it’s ridiculous… I never felt that way before.”
Brittany Cartwright says reentering the dating pool boosted her confidence
Brittany reiterated her desire for love and described herself as a “relationship person.”
During her chat with Nikki and Bri, Brittany shared a quick update on her romantic life. She didn’t mention any names, but said she was enjoying her experience in the dating scene, as it gave her a renewed sense of confidence.
“I hadn’t had attention or affection in my marriage for like a long time, so I lost a lot of confidence,” she explained. “And being made to feel beautiful again, it really helped my confidence come back.”
