“I’ve been single for over two years now, like separated. Hopefully, divorced within a month. Yeah. It keeps getting pushed. It keeps getting pushed and pushed and pushed,” she said on Harry Jowsey‘s Boyfriend Material. “But we’re just co-parenting, but I think I had to work on myself a lot after that and I’m just kind of like, I don’t have to be in a relationship. I don’t need a man for anything really. I’ve got my own house, my own money. I’ve got, you know, everything. I can do everything on my own, but I do want a partner eventually, just to have fun with and enjoy life with, but it’s not something I’m like, ‘I have to have a boyfriend.’ I just want to have fun right now.”
Brittany was last linked to a guy named Brandon Hanson.
On the hardest thing about divorce, Brittany shared, “The hardest thing about the actual divorce is just that it keeps getting pushed back and pushed back and pushed back.”
“There’s just been a lot of things that were happening, and he didn’t turn in things on time or they needed something from me, or he was out of town for something and we had to move the date, so it’s always just been something happening,” she added. “I’ve got everything in now, so yeah. I am good to go, but in the beginning, it was so strange, all the stuff that you have to do that I didn’t realize. You have to get every single file, bank accounts. I mean, everything you can possibly imagine has to be in and ready, and I have all that stuff in, but if the other person doesn’t, then it just keeps getting delayed and delayed.”
As for co-parenting Cruz, who was diagnosed with Autism last year, Brittany said there are a lot of ups and downs.
“It depends on the day, it depends on the mood, it depends on,” she said. “I just make sure I get everything done, and you know, Cruz comes first no matter what and his dad feels the same way, so things are better, but there are definitely a lot of hard moments. It’s hard whenever you can’t get along with somebody to also co-parent with them, so I’m really trying my best, you know? I’m trying so hard for my son. I am.”
Previously, it was revealed that Jax didn’t pay their mortgage for several months and Brittany had to front all of that. So, has he paid her back for his portion?
“Nope,” she simply stated, noting she doesn’t want him to pay up. “I don’t care to pay my mortgage. It’s his taxes on top of the mortgage, so like my mortgage is fine, but the extra stuff that he took out, which this was all on the show. The extra stuff that he took out that I am now having to pay monthly. Hopefully we’ll figure that out with a divorce.”
