Reality TV star Brittany Cartwright is undergoing some major life changes under the spotlight. Most recently, the Vanderpump Rules alum joined the latest season of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, where she tried her hand at challenging military-style training and wound up being the first to drop out of the competition.
Since then, it seems Brittany has weathered another public change in her life. This past week, she announced that she and her boyfriend Brandon Hanson had officially called it quits—just two months after taking the relationship public.
Brittany Said They Went Public Too Soon
Brittany opened up about what went down on an episode of her podcast, When Reality Hits. She explained that things had ended well with Brandon, and that, looking back, they had stepped out into the public before either of them was ready for it:
"Hopefully, we can remain friends, but it's just something I didn't see that was going to be able to continue in the future," she added.
Still, she noted that she didn't have any regrets about the way things had gone down. "Like I said, it got into the media much sooner than we wanted it to, but I, I feel good about the decision and I think, you know, this is what's best for me. So [I] wish him the best, wish everything the best. It just wasn't for me, it just didn't work out," she added.
Brittany Addressed Rumors That Brandon Paid For Her Surgery
Brittany also used the opportunity on her podcast episode to clear up some rumors. There was a particularly nasty one about how she had used Brandon to pay for her "mommy makeover" surgery, which she quickly dispelled:
It would appear that Brandon was certainly not the sugar daddy type to do so. In fact, Brandon himself is a young parent who is also currently going through a divorce, separated from his wife for less than a year.
Brittany said that, moving forward, she will look back fondly on her relationship with Brandon and try to learn from the experience. She noted that she continued to grow, especially after leaving her contentious relationship with ex-husband Jax Taylor.
"My outlook on everything with that toxic situation I was in has changed dramatically. So I'm excited to just have fun and explore this new me. Let go of the dead weight, let go of the drama and just enjoy my life and my family and my friends," she emphasized.
