Vanderpump Rules alum Brittany Cartwright's decision to divorce Jax Taylor was a "long time coming," a source tells PEOPLE. On Tuesday, Aug. 27, Cartwright, 35, filed for divorce from Taylor, 45, and requested primary custody of their 3-year-old son Cruz, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. The news of the divorce filing comes nearly six months after she and Taylor decided to take "time apart.” A source exclusively tells PEOPLE that the divorce is "something Brittany knew she had to do for the best interest of herself and her son." Adding, Cartwright filed "in order to move forward and put a stop to this tumultuous cycle they’ve been living in.” “There’s a lot that has transpired over the past few months that she could not look past,” the insider adds. “This decision wasn’t made lightly but she feels adamant that it was the right one.”
