“My whole heart,” wrote Cartwright in the post’s caption.

Brittany Cartwright & Jax Taylor Opened Up About Their Son Going to Preschool in January 2023

Cartwright and Taylor discussed Cruz entering preschool in the January 5 episode of their podcast, “When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany.” The couple shared that they attended the preschool’s orientation, a week before their son’s first day as a student. Taylor admitted that he was “scoping out” the other parents to determine which children would be friends with his son.

Cartwright also shared that she believes preschool would be beneficial for Cruz, who has a speech delay.

“Whenever you are dealing with a child who has a speech delay, ike we are, having him around as many kids as possible and trying to get him out of his shell a little bit, is going to help him tremendously,” said Cartwright.

The mother of one also noted that her son is attending speech therapy sessions. In addition, she stated that she and her husband have sought out advice from Cruz’s doctor to best navigate his speech delay.

“Cruz is in speech therapy. He does that two to three times a week. He is starting occupational therapy and he is starting a group class to help with social anxieties and things like that,” said Cartwright.

Brittany Cartwright Discussed Wanting More Children in November 2023

Cartwright has been open about wanting more children. For instance, in a November 2023 interview on Doute’s podcast, “Sex, Love, and What Else Matters,” the 34-year-old shared that she and Taylor would like to have another child as soon as possible.

Cartwright also shared that while she initially “thought [she] wanted three” children, she would be content with two. She joked that because her son is so polite, she is concerned that her next child may exhibit unwanted behaviors.

“Now, that I have one — even though Cruz is honestly the best behaved, like, kid ever. He is so chill, so, like, independent and easy. So the next one is probably going to come out acting just like Jax Taylor. So that might be something different,” quipped Cartwright with a laugh.
