Brittany Cartwright’s new man comes with some baggage.
The wife of the “Valley” star’s new beau took to social media over the weekend to blast her “husband.”
Jasina Stanko wrote in a TikTok post about Brandon Hanson and Cartwright’s dating news, “He’s my husband!!!” She then added in another comment, “That man is married.”
When a follower quipped if Stanko “dated” Hanson, too, she clarified, “I married him. You know him?”

A source explains to Page Six exclusively, however, that the relationship status of Cartwright’s boyfriend is a lot more complex than it seems.
“Brittany’s new relationship comes at a time as they both are experiencing similar life changes,” the insider tells us Sunday. “Like Brittany, he is going through a divorce, and he and his ex have been separated for the past seven months.”
We’re told that Cartwright, 36, and Hanson — who appear to have known each other for a while — “reconnected well after he had already been separated.”

Cartwright’s new romance comes as she is still in the midst of a divorce with her former co-star Jax Taylor.
The “Vanderpump Rules” alum filed to legally end her union in August 2024 after 5 years of marriage and a 4-year-old son, Cruz, together, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The former couple had already been separated by that time for a few months.

Cartwright said on her podcast in February 2024, “Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.”
It was later revealed that Taylor, 46, had been battling a cocaine addiction and mental health issues.
Prior to dating Hanson, Cartwright also had a fling with her ex’s friend Julien Sensley and casually dated Will Gittens. Taylor, for his part, was seen spending time with a model named Paige Woolen.
