Brittany Cartwright is embracing her new single life with open arms and a budding romance!

The 36-year-old star of *The Valley* has been linked to musician Will Gittens, a romance first reported by Page Six and now confirmed by Us Weekly. A source close to the pair revealed that while they aren’t officially exclusive yet, "it’s casual and Brittany’s having a lot of fun."

Recently, Brittany was seen enjoying one of Gittens’ performances in Los Angeles, mingling with friends and costars. Footage from the event showcased a light-hearted conversation between Brittany and the 32-year-old musician, with fellow Bravo star Zack Wickham joining in the fun.

This exciting new chapter follows a tumultuous end to her marriage with Jax Taylor. The couple, who share their adorable 4-year-old son Cruz, tied the knot in 2019 but are still working through their divorce, which Brittany filed for last year. She expressed hope during a recent podcast appearance that their divorce would be finalized soon.

*The Valley*, currently in its second season, has captured the rollercoaster ride of Cartwright and Taylor’s marriage, including Taylor's recent stint in a 30-day treatment program for mental health issues and addiction struggles, which has been a prominent storyline this season.

Despite her complicated past, Cartwright has been positively reflecting on her dating life. In a recent episode of *The Nikki & Brie Show* podcast, she shared how liberating it feels to receive attention again after a long period of feeling neglected in her former marriage, reclaiming her confidence along the way.

Though she admitted to feeling lonely at times, she revealed during a May 21 appearance on Lala Kent's podcast that she’s enjoying her newfound freedom and has a little crush. "Nothing serious yet, but I’m excited to see where it goes!" she teased.

With all these changes, Brittany is clearly on a journey of self-discovery and happiness, and fans can’t wait to see what’s next for her!
