Brittany Cartwright is "taking over" the 'When Reality Hits!' podcast

Brittany - who has Cruz, three, with Jax - wrote on Instagram: "It's official! I can finally announce that moving forward I'll be taking over "When Reality Hits!" Full rebrand coming your way very soooon. I'm just so thankful for all of the love and support [tears, prayer and heart emojis] (sic)"

Brittany also shared her excitement in an accompanying video message.

The former 'Vanderpump Rules' star said: "I am just so excited because I just finished my shoot to do the whole rebrand for 'When Reality Hits'. So, I'm fully taking it over. I cannot wait for you guys to see this photoshoot ... Like this is going to be so much fun. Podcast one, I cannot wait. Like, 'When Reality Hits' is going to another level, and I am so ready for this."

Brittany made the announcement shortly after Jax admitted that he's been battling addiction for more than 20 years.

The 45-year-old reality TV star - who split from Brittany in 2024 - said on the 'Hot Mic' podcast: "I have substance issues - primarily with cocaine. It's hard to say out loud. I've been dealing with this on and off since I was 23 and now I'm 45.

"There was times where I would stop doing it but then there were times where I'd go heavy on it.

"I just want to let people know this is a really, really tough disease and it's a really tough sickness."
