At the premiere of their latest Bravo series, Taylor told PEOPLE that separating was best for their family as they had been facing issues for some time. Cartwright expressed feeling relieved and needing the space.
On a May 31 podcast episode, Taylor mentioned having lunch with model Paige Woolen and discussing the possibility of dating other people with Cartwright. He stated they are exploring all options before considering divorce.
The first season of The Valley concluded on June 4, showing the couple’s feelings about their separation. Taylor reflected positively on their nine years together, expressing love for Cartwright and acknowledging that only time will determine their future.
The Valley is currently filming its second season, with the first season available to stream on Peacock.
