The Vanderpump Rules alum’s relationship with Brandon Hanson appears to have moved quickly. “Everybody’s like, ‘Brittany has a new boyfriend!’” Cartwright told a news outlet on Tuesday, September 9.

Cartwright filed for divorce from Jax Taylor, 46, in August 2024 after five years of marriage. The couple continues to co-parent their son, Cruz, who was born in 2021. “Marriages are very hard, and I had a particularly rough year,” Brittany wrote when announcing their initial separation in February 2024. The actress revealed she and Taylor are taking time apart and that she’s moving to a new home for her mental well-being. “I won’t get into too many details right now because this is still really hard to talk about,” Cartwright said.

Hanson is reportedly dealing with his own divorce. After fans identified him as Cartwright’s latest romance on TikTok in August, a woman named Jasina Stanko claimed in the comments, “He’s my husband! That man is married.” Sources later clarified that Hanson and Stanko had been separated for over seven months before his relationship with Cartwright began.
