After leaving Vanderpump Rules at the end of season 8, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are busy creating a new life for themselves outside of TV.

The reality TV show Vanderpump Rules has changed a lot over nine seasons, but season 9 has had the most changes. At the end of season 8, Bravo cleaned house and many of Vanderpump Rules' famous faces left the series. Stassi, Beau, Kristen, Brittany, and Jax all said goodbye to Bravo for greener pastures. But considering Brittany and Jax made their fame on Bravo, fans wondered what their next move was going to be.

Due to the couple's trust issues that were shown on the air, fans weren't sure if Brittany and Jax were going to last. Without the cameras following them, were they going to be strong enough to find new careers after spending almost a decade (for Jax) on TV? As of this article's publishing, Brittany and Jax have proved all the naysayers wrong and appear to be stronger than ever with new projects in the works.

10 They're Now Full-Blown Influencers

Most reality TV show stars have the ability to earn money by showing off their favorite products on social media and getting compensated for it. And now that Brittany and Jax have more time without filming Vanderpump Rules, they've both been influencing their followers with multiple products.

Brittany and Jax are some of the more popular Vanderpump Rules cast members, as seen by their Instagram following. Brittany has over 1.6 million followers, while Jax has 1.1 million followers. Jax has shown himself with brands like Cremo, Muscle Tech, and Lovesac. Meanwhile, Brittnay has shown that she loves brands like Glaze Hair and Show Dazzle.

9 Having Fun With Baby Cruz

In between seasons 8 and 9, Brittany and Jax had a baby boy and named him Cruz. Fans were disappointed that they didn't get to see Brittany and Jax as new parents, especially since castmates Lala, Scheana, and Stassi were also new parents.

However, their social media accounts prove that the couple has never been happier now that Cruz is in their lives. Cruz even has his own Instagram account (@LittleBabyCauchi - run by his parents) so fans can keep up with his growth.

8 Jax Has Been Sitting In The Producer's Chair

There came a point in the series where Lala Kent started dating a man off-camera and she was very secretive about his identity and their relationship. It eventually came out that Kent was dating producer, Randall Emmett. Emmett has been a part of multiple projects that fans didn't know about, but Lala introduced him to a new audience.

Jax and Emmett became close while he and Lala were together, so much so that there's rumors that Jax and Emmett were producing together. According to a Q&A on Instagram, a fan asked Jax if he was producing now that he wasn't filming Vanderpump Rules. He responded, "I have produced three films, currently working on my fourth. Loving it and learning a lot."

7 ...And Dabbling In Acting

All of the stars on Vanderpump Rules had to hone into their inner actor at some point on the reality show. Certain scenes require more energy or emotion to really sell the storyline. The cast of Vanderpump Rules are hot messes but they could easily be acting for the camera. As it turns out, Brittany and Jax may have the acting itch now.

According to IMDb, Jax was a guard in Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens. He also made appearances in the 2021 documentary, Migz Across America and Celebrity Call Center. Brittany also made an appearance in Celebrity Call Center in the episode 'The Shift With the Gen X Tik Tok.'

6 Brittany Is Focusing On Fitness

Brittany and Jax weren't always one of the best couples on Vanderpump Rules, but things shifted when she became pregnant. According to their Instagrams, the couple became closer and more supportive of each other. Sadly, Brittany's pregnancy and postpartum body were under scrutiny by followers, which has forced Brittany to defend herself against the trolls.

These days, Brittany has been working on her fitness and focusing on herself. In November 2021, Brittany posted a transformation photo where she said how proud of herself she was. She also started working with MyXFitness as an ambassador for their bike.

5 Jax Wrote A Children's Book

Their son Cruz changed Brittany and Jax's life for the better. Their social media accounts are full of pictures of their little family and all the fun they've had. Jax has taken the fatherly role quite well and even wrote a children's book. According to Cheat Sheet, Jax wrote the book after losing his father in 2017. He said, "So I did an homage. Kinda like a love letter to my son about my father. I’m really really proud of it." Of all the bad things Jax has done on Vanderpump Rules, this is a special kind of growth. The book is expected to be released in November 2022.

4 Viewers Can Shop Their Favorite Amazon Goods

Even though Jax has been a part of a handful of shocking scandals while on Vanderpump Rules, that hasn't stopped him from trying to create a new image for himself outside of the show. Fans just didn't realize that the new image would involve Amazon.

Both Brittany and Jax have Amazon pages where fans can buy the same products that Brittany and Jax use. The couple even does live videos at home of their favorite products. Brittany has a lot of beauty deals and home decor, while Jax has a ton of health and wellness goodies and clothes.

3 They Take Pride In Their Home

In April 2021, Brittany and Jax's home was a part of NBC's Open House. The show showcases different homes and what makes them special in terms of design, architecture, and accessibility. In the episode, Brittany and Jax took cameras throughout their home to break down the views behind the design and what they love most about each room. Viewers have seen their home throughout Vanderpump Rules, but the episode of Open House showed their living space in a new light.

2 Is A New Show In The Works?

In 2017, Jax and Brittany were in a Vanderpump Rules spinoff called, Jax and Brittany Take Kentucky. With Brittany being a Kentucky girl, she showed Jax what life is like on the farm. As many hard times as the couple had, this series made Jax and Brittany's relationship redeemable. The series was humorous but it didn't last long. And now that their time on Vanderpump Rules has ended, it's rumored that a new show is in the works for them.

According to Heavy, an insider told the Instagram account @DeuxMoi that a new Peacock show was in the works, starring Brittany and Jax as they go home to Kentucky to "buy an old farmhouse in Brittany’s hometown to restore." The couple has been mum on the rumor but fans can't put anything past them.

1 Will The Pair Leave LA For The Midwest?

There's a theory floating around on Reddit that Brittany and Jax will eventually leave the West Coast behind and head back to their roots. Jax is from Michigan while Brittany's family is still in Kentucky. Now that the pair have a son and want more kids, they may want more family around. Jax told Access Hollywood that while they love living in California, it's hard without family "Neither of us have any family even in the same time zone, let alone close. So it’s really rough. I wanted to have this family, his cousins, his aunts, his uncles," he said.
