Reality TV star and professional drama magnet Jax Taylor has hit pause on his high-octane life for a mental tune-up, and he’s taking it seriously! The 45-year-old, best known for stirring up more drama than a soap opera on *Vanderpump Rules* and *The Valley,* has checked himself into an in-patient treatment center to give his mental health a well-deserved spa day.
The news dropped on Tuesday (July 30), sending reality TV fans into a tailspin—because, let’s be real, what will our guilty pleasure shows be like without Jax causing a ruckus? But don’t worry, he’s doing this for a good cause.
The next day, in a move that could melt even the iciest of hearts, Jax posted a photo on Instagram that shows him planting a sweet kiss on the cheek of his 3-year-old son, Cruz. Cue the collective “awws.”
“Working on getting better for you, buddy. I love you. ❤️” Jax captioned the pic, sending a message that not only is he on the road to recovery, but he’s also determined to ace the dad game. We see you, Jax, aiming for that “Father of the Year” award!
In case you missed the memo, Jax shares little Cruz with his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright. The pair has been playing a real-life game of “will they or won’t they” ever since they announced their separation back in February. Currently, the two are living apart, likely giving each other some much-needed breathing room (because, let’s be honest, everyone needs a break from Jax’s drama).
So, here’s to Jax Taylor—a man on a mission to get his mental health back in tip-top shape, one kiss at a time!
