Overview

  • Taylor formally ended his partnership in Jax’s Studio City on July 26 after observers noticed his name’s removal from the bar’s marquee.
  • He paused participation in Bravo’s The Valley Season 3, clarifying on his podcast that this is a temporary break rather than a permanent exit.
  • Taylor attributed these moves to a focus on his sobriety, mental health, co-parenting his four-year-old son Cruz and overall well-being.
  • The 46-year-old reality star has been open about a two-decade cocaine addiction and PTSD and completed an inpatient treatment program in 2024.
  • Vanderpump Rules alum Scheana Shay and host Andy Cohen publicly supported Taylor’s decision as a mature and necessary step toward recovery.
