Jax Taylor has shocked everyone with new legal claims about his marriage to Brittany Cartwright.

In his response to his ex’s divorce filing, obtained by E! News on October 2, the Vanderpump Rules alum checked a box acknowledging his marriage to Brittany, with whom he shares a 3-year-old son, Cruz. 

However, he also marked a separate box stating, “Respondent contends that the parties never legally married or registered in a domestic partnership.”

In the “Statistical Facts” section of his filing, Jax noted in pen that the couple got married on June 29, 2019, and listed their separation date as September 26, 2024, the same day he submitted his response. 

However, there appeared to be an error when the document asked for the “time from date of marriage to date of separation.” Instead of the correct time frame of five years and two months, Jax mistakenly wrote down four years and six months.

Brittany had stated the same period in her divorce documents, entering Jan. 24, 2024 as the date of the split.

One interesting point in their divorce filings is that Brittany requested the court to terminate both her and Jax’s right to spousal support. On the other hand, Jax selected the option for “future determination” of spousal support to Brittany in his filing.

Jodie Turner-Smith has recently reflected on co-parenting with former husband Joshua Jackson.

In a new interview with Glamour’s Woman of the Year cover story, the Dawson’s Creek alum said, “It’s an adjustment period for anyone when they split up with someone because you’re used to being with your child all the time.”

“But nobody hands you a manual. Everyone’s trying to figure it out,” remarked the 45-year-old.

Jodie, who co-parented her four-year-old daughter with Joshua, stated, “Each parent has a different life, and especially if the reason why you’re splitting up is because you have different lives, it’s only further complicated by how you’re going to coparent.”

At the time of Joshua and Jodie’s split, a source told PEOPLE, “She decided that she is done.”

“They are on very different paths in life,” mentioned an insider.

The source pointed out, “Jodie loves being a mom. She also loves working.”

The source also noted, “It turned into an unhealthy marriage that made her unhappy. They will co-parent their daughter.”

“They want her to continue to thrive,” she told the outlet.

During an appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna in June, the actress shared her views on being a single mother.

“It’s my favourite thing about myself is that I’m that girl’s mother. I’m just so grateful that she chose me to be her mom; that I got to have that gift in life,” explained Jodie.

She mentioned, “It is my favourite thing. I mean, I just, it is an honour.”

“I feel like it was our birthright to mother — whether we bring our children or not, I think it’s is a woman’s birthright. We hold space for those around us. It has shifted everything about me,” stated the actress.

Jodie added, “It has only enriched me. It has shown me, No. 1, how powerful I am. Like, whoa! It’s like, Supreme Being — wow!”

Henry Winkler was sure of Robin Williams’ successful future the moment he saw him auditioning for Happy Days.

During the October 1 episode of the Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald* podcast, the 78-year-old actor shared his experience of sitting in on auditions for the role of Mork, a Martian visiting Earth, after the original actor left the show.

“When Robin came to audition, now it’s Wednesday. We start Monday morning at 10 o’clock on the soundstage. That is at, 9 o’clock, we read. 10 o’clock, we’re on the soundstage,” Winkler started reminiscing. “Nobody wanted to play this alien from outer space.”

“Finally, a young, very shy, very quiet man comes with the casting director,” he continued, gushing about Williams’ ability to change between different personalities in a moment.

“And then this human being picked up the script. When he opened his mouth, it was like a volcano went off on stage 19 at Paramount.”

“And I knew, get out of his way, know my lines, and don’t try to stand toe to toe with this genius that is now standing in front of me,” he added.

Williams first appeared as Mork, the alien from Ork, in season 5, episode 22 of Happy Days.

The episode, titled My Favorite Orkan, follows Richie (played by Ron Howard) as he struggles to convince everyone that he saw a UFO and met an alien named Mork, who wants to take him back to Ork as a specimen of the average human.

Reese Witherspoon has recently announced she’s collaborating with bestselling author Harlan Coben to co-write a new thriller novel.

On October 2, the Sweet Home Alabama actress took to Instagram and posted a photo of her alongside Harlan.

In the caption, Reese wrote, “I’m beyond excited to share that I’m co-writing my very first thriller with # 1 bestselling author, @harlancoben!”

“As a massive fan of Harlan’s work, I can’t believe he agreed to co-author a novel with me. I’m either the most persuasive person alive or the idea of this book is just TOO GOOD! Maybe both??” said the 48-year-old.

The Wild actress remarked, “I honestly can’t wait for you all to read it.”

In a press statement via PEOPLE, Reese stated, “To say I am a fan of Harlan’s body of work is a massive understatement … the fact that he found my idea for this thriller intriguing enough to want to partner with me on it as co-author is a dream becoming a reality.”

“Scheming with Harlan on how to thrill audiences with mysterious characters and complex narrative twists and turns has already been more fun than I can describe. I can’t wait for everyone to read what we have been imagining,” pointed out the Home Again actress.

Meanwhile, the novel, which is currently untitled, will be published on October 14, 2025 by Grand Central Publishing, an imprint of Hachette Book Group.
