Are Cartwright & Brandon Hanson Still Together?
GettyWhile fans will see Cartwright enjoying a newfound relationship with Hanson, their romance was short-lived. According to People, she ended things with Hanson in October 2025, just two months after the couple went public.
She declared she was single on an episode of her “When Reality Hits” podcast that same month. “I’m single. We actually did not last. We were very good friends before we started dating. It was kind of like a whirlwind relationship. It went into the public way sooner than we ever would have wanted it to,” she shared.
Cartwright also explained what led to their breakup, which she shared was amicable. “I just could not do the long distance, and he’s got a lot of obligations with his three kids and jobs, and we lived three hours away, so it was just too tough to keep it going,” the reality star said.
Fans Will Get to See Cartwright Getting Her ‘Mommy Makeover’
Part of Cartwright reclaiming her sparkle involved undergoing multiple procedures, which she referred to as a “mommy makeover,” to boost her confidence. In the trailer, Cartwright jokes about having her breast implants removed, saying, “Last little piece of Jax,” a nod to the fact that fans remember her estranged husband paying for her surgery.
The clip also shows Cartwright in the surgery room and later recovering at her home.
In October 2025, Cartwright posted a photo of herself with her midsection wrapped in compression bandages on Instagram and shared that she “did a thing.” She added, “Something I’ve wanted to do for years and I finally took the step for me. I couldn’t be happier.”
Later, in an episode of her podcast, she listed all of the procedures she had done. Cartwright had abdominal reconstruction, liposuction, a tummy tuck, and her breast implants removed and replaced, while also getting a breast lift.
The new season of “The Valley” premieres on April 1 at 8 p.m. on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
You go Brittany!!!! Good for you. I’m so happy you don’t have to take his crap and the horrible ways he treated you most of the time. So glade you woke up and threw him to the curb. He doesn’t deserve a girl like you. And he’ll never find anyone one else to take as much crap that you did or love him as much as you loved Jax. But like Katie you girls finally woke up and threw these two dogs to the curb for good. Both of you girls were treated liked dirt in front of millions of people every week. And we the viewers are happy for both you and Katie. Move on forever and never look back. All though you’ll always have Jax in your life cause of your son Cruz. But that’s all and you really have nothing else in common with that man but interacting only when it comes to your son. And that’s it. I pray you and Katie have a great life without those two losers. Yea for you two to have the courage to get out of a really bad marriage. KUDOS TO BOTH YOU AND KATIE FOR GETTING RID OF THE TWO LOSERS……..PERIOD
