Jax Taylor denied he is dating anyone amid his separation from his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright after sparking romance rumors with model Paige Woolen.
On Friday’s episode of his and Cartwright’s When Reality Hits podcast, the reality star, 44, revealed he and his spouse are, still, ‘trying to exhaust everything’ before considering divorcing.
‘I am not — I repeat not — dating anybody. I was seen out with someone and it was strictly lunch. Obviously, Brittany and I are separated and have been for a long time. What we are going through right now is tough. Marriage is not easy,’ he explained.
The bar owner continued: ‘We are trying to figure out a lot of different things: therapy, separation, and maybe, possibly, dating other people.’
The father-of-one said some of the ‘different things’ they are trying to salvage their relationship are ‘therapy, separation, and maybe, possibly, dating other people.’

‘We are trying to exhaust everything before we have to go down the divorce road — if that would be the case,’ he told listeners. ‘Part of taking some time apart means exploring other people. All marriages are different, but this is what is good for our marriage.’
Taylor said he and Cartwright ‘are on the same page’ about their current arrangement and ‘have a couple of rules with it, but this is what we are exploring.’
Ultimately, the ‘most important thing’ to the pair is their son, Cruz, who turned three last month.
Taylor also claimed his estranged wife is also ‘doing her own thing, too.’
On Thursday, Taylor denied that he is in a relationship with Woolenan, who he was seen having a three-hour lunch with at Granville in Los Angeles over the weekend.
Woolenan, an internet personality, with more than 847,000 Instagram followers, took to X (previously known as Twitter) to say he he was ‘not dating anyone.’
‘I wish you all knew the full story of this situation,’ he tweeted. ‘Its (sic) not what you think.’
Earlier this year in February, Brittany announced that she and Jax had separated after four years of marriage.

The couple previously tied the knot at the Kentucky Castle in the Cartwright’s home state in June 2019. They welcomed their first child together in April 2021.
At the time, she revealed that she had moved into another home and the couple were living separately.
The following month, she admitted that there was ‘hope’ for a possible reconciliation if Jax put in the work.
However, in early April, Brittany revealed the real reason why they split and told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that they had issues in their marriage for years.
That same month, the pair reunited to celebrate their son’s third birthday and Easter together, but it appears their relationship is still on the rocks.
‘Right now I can’t even be in the same room with him very long,’ she admitted on Friday’s episode of their podcast When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany in a conversation with her former Vanderpump Rules co-star Tom Schwartz.
‘Last time you were here, you were like, “I forgot you guys were even separated.” So it’s very up and down like that,’ she added.
When Schwartz chimed in and said that he thought the estranged couple had been doing ‘a good job of respecting each other’s boundaries,’ Cartwright wholly disagreed.

‘He hasn’t done a good job respecting mine,’ she interjected. ‘That’s for sure.
‘But we gotta remember I’m the one that’s living elsewhere and I feel like I’m the one that’s taking all the hard hits even though Iw as the one who had to leave,’ she added.
The cracks in their marriage were also highlighted in episodes of their new show The Valley, which premiered on Bravo weeks after Cartwright first announced their separation.
Episodes of The Valley premieres on Bravo every Tuesday and are available to stream the following day on Peacock.
