Brittany Cartwright seems to have found love again after her turbulent marriage and divorce.
The Valley star, 36 — who claimed ex-Jax Taylor ‘threw a coffee table’ at her during an ‘aggressive’ argument — has found a good guy, according to co-star and pal Kristen Doute, 42.
The two reality stars attended Narwal’s End of Summer Soirée in Los Angeles on Thursday, and Cartwright’s new guy was her plus one for the event.
While the Kentucky native kept mum about her new boyfriend, new mom Doute was only too happy to share the good news.
‘She has someone in her life that’s really amazing that I am head over heels for,’ Doute told People.
‘She’s dated people during her single years since her ex-husband, and I have not approved of them. They’ve been fine, but not wonderful. This person is very wonderful and very cool. Very family-feeling,’ she said.

Cartwright shares her son Cruz, three, with Taylor and her fella has at least one kid himself, according to Doute.
‘He’s a dad, so it makes it really easy,’ Doute explained, adding ‘a lot easier and understandable.’
In part one of The Valley reunion, Cartwright detailed a lengthy list of alleged abuses hurled at her by Taylor, 46.
In addition to allegedly throwing the coffee table, the former Vanderpump Rules star said her ex ‘threw both bar stools, he threw my Stanley cup and broke it.’
‘He threw my phone and broke it. He threw my laptop and broke it,’ before claiming Taylor ‘threw me into the rose bushes.’
When the former bartender denied doing it, Cartwright hit back, ‘Yes, you did. It’s on my Ring camera doorbell. My close friends up here have seen the videos.’
The pair married in 2019, and separated in February 2024. Cartwright filed for divorce in August of that year, but it has not been finalized yet.
As for her post-split life, Cartwright said she’s in a better place now.
‘I’ve been through so much,’ she told People. ‘I want to focus on me.’
