Jax Taylor was spotted cozying up with his estranged wife Brittany Cartwright’s longtime publicist Lori Krebs in a heartwarming holiday snap.
In photos obtained by TMZ, the pair can be seen hugging each other as they swim in a pool at a resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
The two appeared to be engrossed in conversation, with a shirtless Taylor hugging Krebs and putting his arm around him.
An eyewitness told the magazine that the pair had been cuddling each other all day and made no attempt to hide that they were together.
TMZ also obtained a video of the Vanderpump Rules alum and the talent agent having a very lively conversation while sitting poolside.
Taylor and Krebs went on vacation with a large group of friends to celebrate his birthday on July 11, the paper said.
Page Six has reached out to Taylor, Krebs and Cartwright for comment.
Page Six confirmed that the LoriK PR founder appears to have deactivated her Instagram account shortly before the photo was published on Monday.
Cartwright filed for divorce in August 2024. She and Taylor continue to co-parent their 5-year-old son, Cruise, while waiting for their divorce to be finalized.
This isn’t the first time Krebs and Taylor have been rumored to be dating.
The former model previously raised eyebrows when she posted a selfie with Krebs in February 2024. But at the time, he and Cartwright shut down speculation on their previously shared podcast, “When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany.”
Cartwright said on the Feb. 22 episode, “I was annoyed that everyone was so obsessed with the photo you posted with Lori, your publicist.”
“She’s our publicist and she’s a very, very good friend of mine, so about a photo like that, people I know were saying a lot of crap about it, but it really wasn’t that big of a deal…” she continued.
“So I just want to make that clear because Lori is a great publicist and a very hard worker and does a lot of great work for us. I just want to make that clear because that’s ridiculous.”
Cartwright also explained during the episode that Krebs worked with “Vanderpump Rules” alums Tom Schwartz and Kristen Doute.
The following month, Taylor again denied dating rumors at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Asked about his PR rep, he told Entertainment Tonight: “Oh, that’s over. It’s all just hearsay and it’s just a shame that that happened.” “But yes, no, nothing happened there.”
Krebs has more than 15 years of experience in the field and specializes in “celebrity management and partnerships,” according to his website.
In addition to representing the stars of “Vanderpump Rules,” she has also worked with cast members of “Southern Charm” and stars of Bachelor Nation.
