Jax Taylor revealed the “one thing” he’ll “never be able to fix” in a confessional interview on Season 2, Episode 13 of The Valley: “I cannot keep a secret.”
The admission came after Jax sent Kristen Doute into a spiral by congratulating her and Luke Broderick on their engagement. Why? Because he wasn’t supposed to know about it.
“I just want to know who told Jax,” Kristen said to Luke. “Like that was the first text that I woke up to…I literally hadn’t even texted my mom. My sister. My brother. Like anyone yet.”
Kristen immediately worried about the repercussions of Jax being in on the secret.
“Jax Taylor knows? F—king loudmouth, who is literally going to tell everyone under the sun,” she lamented in her confessional.
Who Jax Taylor told about Kristen Doute’s engagement
True to form, Jax spilled the tea immediately when Tom Schwartz visited him at his new Valley townhouse.
“Hey, got some news! Guess who got engaged? Doute!” Jax announced. “Off the market.”
Schwartz weighed if he should send a congratulatory message to his friend. “I’m actually really f—king happy for her. I’m going to text her. You should text her,” he told Jax.
Only a moment passed before Jax regretted letting Schwartz in on the news.
“I don’t know if you’re allowed to know,” he conceded, and then begged Schwartz not to say anything. “I don’t want to be the one that told you. Because — you know me — I got a big mouth.”
Jax also dropped a bomb that he’d actually already told more people: “I’ve already said something on the [boys] group chat. I don’t know.”
Schwartz asked Jax if Kristen and Luke had shared their engagement on social media yet, and upon finding out the answer was no, Schwartz decided not to say anything to the happy couple, but told Jax, “You do have a big f—king mouth.”
Who told Jax Taylor that Kristen Doute was engaged?

Kristen was upset, and replied, “I didn’t want him to know because he texted the whole boys chat!” She later added, “We didn’t even get to tell our family.”
Kristen also told Brittany she was frustrated that Jax was stealing the spotlight: “Brittany! Of course he’s going to f—king tell everyone. Like, we want to tell people.”
Kristen ended up blocking Jax on her phone, and Brittany later apologized to Kristen.
“I’m so sorry. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking,” Brittany told her. She also offered an explanation for her actions: “I don’t know if it’s like a habit? Like he was my person for so long, but like I know not to tell him things. I called him and I went off on him.”
Brittany also admitted to Zack: “I immediately regretted [telling Jax], obviously.”
