On Wednesday, sources told TMZ that Taylor received his divorce papers on camera.
The insider told the media that the former couple were both filming for The Valley, but that they “didn’t film anything” together on Tuesday.
According to the publication, a “third party brought the documents” to Taylor.
According to sources familiar with his and Cartwright’s relationship, she “took the initiative and decided it was time to file charges” after determining he “had done too many things for reconciliation to occur.”
Taylor is said to be ‘angry about all the praise Brittany is getting for her decision to report’, as he believes she ‘has her own dark side’.
Fans have been warned that the second season of The Valley is going to be ‘tough’.
Now that they’ve split, the duo have chosen to focus on their three-year-old son Cruz.
A source said on Wednesday People that Cartwright felt that filing for divorce was ‘a long time coming’.

The source noted that Jax has “mixed feelings” about the request, but that he knows it is “ultimately the right decision.”

DailyMail.com has reached out to a representative for Cartwright and NBCUniversal, Bravo’s parent company, for comment.
Cartwright and Taylor, who first met at a Las Vegas club in 2015, tied the knot in an extravagant wedding that aired on Vanderpump Rules.
Brittany has requested primary legal and physical custody of the child, but is open to visitation rights for her ex.
In addition, Cartwright wants to prevent the court from awarding spousal support to either of them.
Cartwright gave January 24 as the date of separation.
The couple’s early romance was chronicled on the Bravo series Vanderpump Rules and their failed relationship was chronicled on the spinoff The Valley, in which Cartwright revealed that she had moved out of their marital home with her son Cruz.
“A lot has happened between me and Jax,” Brittany said in a confessional. “We’ve been having problems all summer, but when the cameras stopped rolling, it just seemed like it got worse and worse and worse.
“So about six weeks ago, I broke up with Jax. I moved into an AirBnb with Cruz because Jax wouldn’t leave the house,” she said in the finale.
Brittany said the fact that Jax didn’t leave showed his selfishness. Brittany said she left with their 3-year-old son Cruz because the situation at home was toxic. Brittany said Jax would come home hungover and be “mean as a snake” in the morning.
“I got to a point where I started noticing everything he was doing to me,” Brittany said. “It hit me like a sledgehammer.”
The former couple welcomed their son Cruz in 2021
Brittany said during their relationship that Jax cheated on her, disrespected her, and humiliated her.
“I’ve been through a lot of pain in this relationship,” Brittany said. “I just can’t deal with it anymore.”
