"We're still very much separated," Brittany told E! News in an exclusive interview on the red carpet. "Different hotel rooms, all the stuff. But we are very friendly with each other. We're raising our child, so that's most important, but there's no back together right now." (For more from the WHCD, tune into E! News tonight, April 29 at 11 p.m.)
Jax, on the other hand, had a slightly different outlook on the status of their marriage. "Your guess is as good as mine right now," the 44-year-old told E! in a separate interview. "I'm being dead serious. Who knows?"
But "depends on how much I have to drink tonight, we'll see who goes to what room," Jax added with a laugh. "Well, it depends on how much she has to drink, actually."
In all seriousness, The Valley duo—who announced their separation in February—are working through it. "Every week, it's changing," Jax shared. "We're talking. We're eating dinner, we're going out for drinks. So, who knows? Do I want to be back together again? Of course I would, but, you know, we gotta see what's healthy for us and our son."
But according to Jax, he's inching closer to being the No. 1 guy in her heart. "I feel like I'm on the right track," the Vanderpump Rules alum continued. "I was going through a lot of personal issues with myself and my mental health that needed a time out."
Brittany would prefer to pump the brakes on any narrative about reconciliation. As she told E! after Jax's interview, "I mean, he needs to work on himself."
And, if all doesn't go according to Jax's plan, the Kentucky native is open to playing the field valley. "I feel like yeah, why not?" she said. "I'm 35. i know what I want. So, if we don't stay together, of course I'm going to date again."
As for what she wants exactly? "Somebody who has their stuff together," Brittany detailed. "Nice, funny, just a good man. But, also, I don't know yet. I'm not there. Maybe one day."
Because through this trial separation, she's learned her worth. "I'm a lot stronger than I thought I was," Brittany admitted. "I feel like I've grown a lot through this whole experience and I'm just glad I was able to stick up for myself in such a big way."
Jax, too, has done some soul searching. "I'm going through a lot of stuff personally, so I'm working on that," he shared. "The most important thing is our son and making sure our son has a great life and a great atmosphere and two loving parents that support him. That's the most important thing."
No doubt about it. After all, Cruz, "he's just a light in my life," Brittany raved. "He's the best thing ever."
Since he was very young, Bar Mor knew that he would inevitably do something with real estate. After leaving the army, he decided to combine his two passions: Mor noticed that many real estate investors do not have a dedicated system for keeping track of various back-office processes such as managing cash collected from rent, calculating and distributing proceeds to their LPs and many other administrative functions. Mor said that when he was initially fundraising, he told investors he was building Carta for real estate.

Engineers Adam Keating and Jeremy Andrews were tired of using spreadsheets and screenshots to collab with teammates — so they launched a startup, Colab, to build a better way. The two met as undergraduates at Memorial University of Newfoundland, where they studied mechanical engineering together. While they were completing their last internships prior to graduating (Andrews at Tesla, Keating at health startup Reflexion Medical), they noticed that professional engineering teams were relying on clunky tools — namely spreadsheets and Powerpoint decks — to get collaborative work done.
