“Jax and I are taking a break, and I have opted to relocate to a different residence to establish some personal space for my mental well-being,” Brittany shared. “I won’t go into too much detail right now as discussing this is still quite difficult, and I am approaching things one day at a time.”
In the days following, Brittany has shed light on the reasons behind the dissolution of her marriage to the former SUR bartender and has also offered a peek into her current situation. Explore what she has disclosed about her special connection with her son below.
