Just months after their departure from "Vanderpump Rules," Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright celebrated the birth of their first son in April 2021.

Taylor took to Instagram the day after Cruz's birth, saying, "I don't think I have ever been as happy as I am right now, everything else in life seems so insignificant now ... I have the most beautiful son a man could ask for, he's an absolute blessing from god."
Taylor and Cartwright are part of a wave of "Vanderpump Rules" couples who have embraced parenthood in recent years. Other cast members, like Stassi Schroeder and Lala Kent, have also welcomed children.

Jax Taylor Has a Big Move on the Horizon
After living in LA throughout their time on "Vanderpump Rules," Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright have announced a change of scenery. In a Cameo video that a fan posted on Reddit in May, Taylor revealed that they were packing it up for Clearwater, Florida. He also told the fan, "Thank you for watching and putting up with my crap."
While it's unknown if Taylor and Cartwright are moving to Clearwater for any specific reason, Taylor mentioned a possible job opportunity running a hockey team's social media in Tampa back in Season 6 of the show. Taylor also has family based in Tarpon Springs, and previously lived in Miami during his modeling days. Clearwater and Tarpon Springs are relatively close to each other, so it’s possible that he wants to raise Cruz around his family, especially now that he and Cartwright are off of the show.
