Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, best known for their appearances on the reality show “Vanderpump Rules,” recently celebrated their son Cruz’s third birthday. However, the celebration took an unexpected turn when the couple accidentally dropped the birthday cake. This incident has been seen by some as a symbol of their relationship dynamics.
In videos shared on their Instagram Stories, Taylor and Cartwright can be seen standing side-by-side behind the three-tier cake as guests sang happy birthday to Cruz. But as they leaned over to blow out the candles, the table collapsed, causing the cake to tumble to the floor. While Cartwright laughed off the mishap, Taylor appeared mortified.
The couple’s mishap was shared on TikTok by their “Valley” co-star Zack Wickham, and fans found it amusing. One person commented that the cake was a representation of their relationship, while another blamed Jax for the accident, claiming that he always messes something up.
Despite the cake incident, Cartwright and Taylor seemed to have a fun-filled day celebrating Cruz’s birthday at a trampoline park. They posted snippets of the dinosaur-themed party on their Instagram Stories, showing kids jumping around and enjoying themselves. The couple even joined in on the fun, bouncing on trampolines with their son.
The previous day, Cartwright and Taylor celebrated Cruz’s actual birthday at the Aquarium of the Pacific. Cartwright shared a photo of herself and the toddler enjoying chicken tenders and fries, noting that they were indulging in all of his favorite things for his birthday.
This birthday celebration comes after the couple announced their separation in February. Cartwright revealed on their podcast, “When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany,” that they were living in different houses to give each other space for the sake of their mental health. She also mentioned that their lack of intimacy and Taylor’s refusal to go to therapy played a role in their split.
The accidental cake drop at Cruz’s birthday party may serve as a metaphor for the ups and downs of Taylor and Cartwright’s relationship. Despite their separation, they put on a united front for their son’s special day. It remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve in the future, but for now, they are focused on co-parenting and creating memorable moments for their son.
