The Valley’s second season has officially come to a close, which means its deliciously chaotic reunion is in full swing. The first installment of the Bravo series’ three-part special kicked off on Tuesday, July 29, as Andy Cohen gathered the cast to address ongoing drama among themselves. This also marks the first-ever reunion for the Vanderpump Rules spin-off.
Tensions were particularly high between Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, as season 2 heavily documented the lead-up to their split and divorce filing. The former couple was together for nearly five years and share a three-year-old son, Cruz.
During the reunion, Jax seemingly confirmed that he’s done having children when Andy asked if he wanted to have a vasectomy. Brittany then made a snarky comment, saying that her ex “definitely needs one,” since—according to her—he typically opts out of using condoms.
“He’s going to have 20 baby mamas if he doesn’t,” she said. “He’s disgusting. I would not touch that dirty dick with a 10-inch pole.”
The room was then filled with an awkward silence before he fired back, alleging that she had wanted to “hook up one more time” amid their divorce.
“That’s not what you said four months ago when we were out at the aquarium,” Jax said. “You were like, ‘Do you think we should hook up one more time?’ You said that at Hooters four months ago.”
Though she immediately denied this, he then clarified that she was allegedly drunk during the interaction. “Now that I know everything you’ve done and everything you’ve got going on down there, there’s no possible way,” Brittany replied.
In case you missed it: Earlier this month, Jax revealed that he would be exiting the series after two seasons to focus on his sobriety and mental health.
During the reunion, Brittany revealed that Jax “prolonged” their legal separation because he wasn’t sure if he’d be coming back to The Valley for season 3. (Brittany filed for divorce from Jax after he returned to rehab in August 2024.)
“He called me the other day and said that he didn’t know if he was going to get kicked off the show, so he was prolonging it in case he needed to get alimony from me,” she said, to which he confirmed was “somewhat true.”
Brittany also opened up about hooking up with one of Jax’s friends after their split, claiming that her ex-husband “degraded me, put me down, body shamed me constantly.”
“Julian gave me the attention I needed in that moment,” she continued. “He made me feel sexy, he made me feel beautiful, he gave me some confidence.”
The Bravolebrity claimed that the hookup was what she “needed” because her broken relationship with Jax made her “lose my sparkle.”
To think that ^^^ all of this only scratches the surface of The Valley season 2 reunion... consider us seated for part two, which airs on Tuesday, August 5 at 8 p.m. EST/PST.
