Brittany Cartwright, a prominent reality television star, has officially ended her relationship with Brandon Hanson, a decision she describes as a significant moment of personal growth. The 36-year-old publicly announced the split just two months after their relationship came to light, citing long-distance challenges and personal obligations as key factors in her decision.
According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, the couple’s geographical distance and Brandon’s commitments to his three children made their relationship increasingly difficult. “Brittany feels really proud of herself for showing growth and knowing when things are done instead of trying to stick around and be unhappy,” the source noted.
Focus on Happiness and Future Aspirations
Brittany, who shares a four-year-old son named Cruz with her estranged husband Jax Taylor, is currently prioritizing her own happiness and that of her son. On the latest episode of the When Reality Hits podcast, she reflected on her short-lived romance with Brandon, stating, “We actually did not last… It was kind of like a whirlwind relationship.” Brittany expressed that their relationship became public sooner than they had anticipated, adding to the pressures they faced.
Despite the breakup, Brittany emphasized that she holds no resentment towards Brandon. She described their separation as amicable, stating, “We still care a lot about each other.” The challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship, combined with Brandon’s obligations to his family and work, ultimately led to their decision to part ways. “It was just too tough to keep it going,” she explained, expressing hope that they can remain friends in the future.
Reflections on Past Relationships
Brittany also addressed her previous marriage to Jax Taylor, highlighting the efforts she made to support him through his struggles with addiction. “No one wants Jax to be better more than I do,” she stated on the podcast. “I tried and tried and tried for years to help this man get better and for us to be a happy family.” Her commitment to Jax was profound, as she described her deep love for him, emphasizing that her feelings were genuine and undeniable.
