During his podcast on May 1, Taylor reflected on his rocky relationship history showcased on reality TV and acknowledged that he doesn’t believe he is cut out for romantic relationships.

The long-time Bravo star candidly shared, “I’ve come to realize that being in a committed relationship is not for me. Marriage is not in the cards for me; it’s a realization I’ve always had.”

Despite initially hoping for a unique and lasting connection with Cartwright, whom he started dating in 2015, Taylor eventually recognized within himself that settling down in marriage was never his path.

The former “Vanderpump Rules” star went on to say that, for the most part, the women he’s been in relationships with aren’t the problem.

“I’m the problem,” he said. “I get bored being in relationships. I don’t wanna be in a relationship. I just don’t like it.”

Taylor admitted he “love[s] being a father,” though.

In fact, during a previous interview, the 45-year-old, who revealed in March 2025 he struggled with cocaine addiction for two decades, said his three-year-old son, Cruz, was the primary reason he began taking the necessary steps to turn his life around.

“It was very tough to come out, but it was something that I needed to do,” Taylor said. “It was a weight lifted off my shoulders. I just needed to do it for myself, and I needed to do it for my son.”

He continued, “Everyone’s like, ‘You should do this for you first.’ I did this for my son first, and then I did it for me.”

“I want my son one day to be like, ‘My dad … there was something wrong with him, and he fixed himself; this is why he’s here today,” he said.

After speculation about their relationship, which viewers saw the worst of during season 1 of “The Valley,” Cartwright announced on her podcast, “When Reality Hits,” that she and Taylor were spending time apart.

“Jax and I are taking time apart, and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health,” she said.

“I’m taking one day at a time. I don’t know what the future holds, but right now, my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz, and I love you guys. Pray for us, and everything will be just fine. We’re good,” the 36-year-old added.

Several months later, Cartwright opened up about her son, who’s mostly nonverbal, being diagnosed with autism.

Amid his diagnosis, Cartwright explained that she and Cruz had to relocate to different rentals because Taylor allegedly refused to leave their San Fernando Valley home.

“Jax would not leave for seven months, while I had to move to different rental houses,” Cartwright said. “I even said that he could move into the rental houses that I paid for. He still wouldn’t do it. No matter what.”

The constant relocating clearly put a strain on Cartwright and her son, which she admitted she wouldn’t be able to move on from.
