Brittany Cartwright's newfound romance is blazing trails with sizzling intensity. The Valley star and her latest beau, Brandon Hanson, recently jetted off to the sun-kissed shores of Mexico for an enchanting escape filled with public displays of affection.
Amidst her tumultuous divorce proceedings with estranged husband Jax Taylor, Brittany indulged in a dreamy sunset beach date with Brandon. Along the picturesque coastline, the pair were spotted sharing tender kisses and warm embraces, lost in each other's gaze. As they strolled hand-in-hand through the soft sand, they snapped selfies, their arms draped affectionately around each other.
For their romantic outing, the Vanderpump Rules alum, who co-parents her 4-year-old son Cruz with her ex, looked effortlessly chic in a sheer cover-up, while Brandon sports a casual yet stylish ensemble of swim shorts and a tank top.
Brittany and Brandon's love-filled escapade comes hot on the heels of her Bravo costar Kristen Doute confirming her own new relationship. "She has someone incredible in her life that I absolutely adore," Kristen revealed to People on August 21. "She's dated around since her ex-husband, but I haven't always approved of her choices."
"They've been decent, but not spectacular," the 42-year-old continued. "This person, however, is truly wonderful and has a wonderful family vibe." Kristen also confirmed that Brittany's new flame is a parent, which has formed a strong bond between them as they navigate the challenges of coparenting.
"Being a dad makes it so much easier and more understandable," she explained. "It's a connection we both cherish."
Yet, as Brittany has shared before, finding Mr. Right while coparenting and navigating her split from Jax, whom she left in August last year, has been far from straightforward. "Dating post-separation and during a divorce is such a bizarre experience," the 36-year-old told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live! in July. "It's not the simplest journey."
Moreover, Brittany is now keenly aware of toxic traits in potential partners. "You become hyper-vigilant, noticing every little detail," she noted. "I must watch out for red flags. I don't want to find myself in another toxic situation, ignoring warning signs because I always see the best in people and hope they'll change."
