The Valley isn’t wasting any time in getting straight to the drama.
As excitement continues to build for season 2, Bravo decided to release the first seven minutes of the premiere on Thursday, April 10.
Viewers are quickly given an inside look into Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s relationship, nine months after they decided to separate following five years of marriage.
“It’s not going well,” Jax, 45, shares in the sneak peek. “She’s in a rental, and we’re allowed to date other people. It’s so toxic. It’s so broken. There was a lot of love there for a long time.”
According to Jax, things took a turn when he discovered Brittany, 36, was hooking up with his good friend Julian Sensley.
From Brittany’s perspective, “all hell broke loose” when her estranged husband discovered she had sent a sexy video to Julian.
“He flipped the coffee table and it hit my knee,” she claims to costar Michelle Saniei. “It turned black immediately. I’m screaming, crying. It was terrifying. … We were separated. He was hooking up with girls!”
When recalling the incident with Jesse Lally, Jax assured his costar that his 3-year-old son, Cruz, was in another room and didn’t see anything.
At the same time, he questioned how other guys would handle the moment if they were put in a similar situation.
“She was planning on moving back into my home but yet sending inappropriate messages. Like, what?” he asks Jesse, 43. “What would you do? You probably wouldn’t throw things.”
During a confessional interview, Jax is asked why things had to get violent. At the time, he didn’t have an answer for his behavior.
“What I did was wrong. I lost all control. I saw red,” he shares. “I had an out of body experience, but show me a guy that wouldn’t handle the situation like I handled it.”
Elsewhere in the season 2 premiere, Nia Sanchez and Danny Booko are trying to handle three kids under three. (In December 2024, Us Weekly exclusively confirmed the pair is expecting a fourth baby.)
