Brittany Cartwright shares steamy update on new beau... after mocking ex Jax Taylor's skills in the bedroom
Brittany Cartwright has found herself a new man, and she's sharing some racy details about their burgeoning romance.
During an appearance last week on her former Vanderpump Rules costar Lala Kent 's podcast Give Them Lala, Brittany revealed that she had started up a casual new relationship.
And on Tuesday, sources told Page Six that the 36-year-old star of The Valley is dating the singer and guitarist Will Gittens.
The revelation comes a day after Brittany gave an update on her divorce from Jax Taylor — who sexual prowess she mocked last month — as the the proceedings continue to drag on.
A video posted to the Instagram account of Will's music production studio showed Brittany with him after a concert in Los Angeles last month, which at least one of her costars reportedly joined her at.

Though the two were only briefly spotted in the clip, the reality star boasted a wide smile as she and the musician chatted.
So far, neither Brittany nor Gittens have commented on the alleged relationship.
Earlier this year, Gittens — who reportedly hails from Trinidad — boasted about winning his first Grammy Award in an Instagram video.
So far, Brittany hasn't named the artist as her new boyfriend, but they appear to have a social media connection, as they follow each other and have liked multiple of their posts.
During her podcast appearance with Lala, she was reportedly speaking about Gittens.
Cartwright admitted to 'having fun' with a new 'crush,' though she emphasized that it was 'nothing serious' at the moment.
'We'll see where it goes,' she said.
It was Lala who urged Brittany to share more about her alleged new beau by saying, 'I like the guy who you fell straight on your a** out of the shower [with], and you guys laughed, and he still wanted to be with you after.'
Brittany — who jokingly said she 'hate[d]' the host — went on to explain that she and the new man were taking a shower together 'butt naked' when she suddenly slipped as if she had stepped on a 'banana peel.'
'I went straight back, and he thought I was gonna hit my head,' she admitted. 'Oh, it was so embarrassing, but then the way that we laughed about it was so cute.'
According to Brittany, Will attempted to grab her as she was falling, but despite his obvious compassion for her, she was still embarrassed that he saw her in a moment of awkwardness.
Lala gave her thumbs up, adding, 'I like it. And I like him.'
She said Gittens — who went nameless — was 'talented,' which Brittany heartily agreed with.
But Lala seemed to sense that it was time to end the conversation before she 'spill[ed] way too much' about her friends new man.
On Monday, Brittany appeared on The Nikki & Brie Show with Nikki and Brie Bella/Garcia, where she confirmed that she was dating 'a little bit,' which she gushed was going 'great.'
She went on to say that she had been lacking 'attention' and 'affection' in her marriage to Jax 'for, like, a long time,' which led her confidence to crater, via Just Jared.
'Being made to feel beautiful again … really helped my confidence come back,' she declared.
However, a source closer to her claimed to Page Six that she is 'not dating anyone,' and they said Will was 'just a friend.'
Brittany went on to update her fans on how her divorce from Jax Taylor is proceeding.
She said the divorce 'still has not been finalized yet,' though she hoped it would be resolved 'soon.'
'Just, you know, [Jax] waits 'til the last second for everything,' she claimed.
She wondered aloud if her ex might be slowing down the proceedings in hopes that she would change her mind about the divorce.
'It's weird how he waited till the very last day to sign, you know, whenever I wanted to even get the process going,' Brittany shared. 'Waited 'til the very last day, messed up on all the paperwork, did all this stuff, and now it just seems like he just keeps doing stuff to prolong it.'
One positive update was that her ex allegedly wasn't putting up much of a fight, 'but it's more like he's just not wanting it to be final, if that makes sense,' she said.
'It's weird. I don't know how I'm going to feel when it actually is final,' she said. 'It's 10 years I was with this guy, so I don't know if I'm going to be sad. I feel like I will have a sense of relief, but he is the father of my child, so like what's really going to change? You know? I don't know how it's going to be.'
She added that parenting their four-year-old son Cruz was more difficult due to the resentments she had built up over the years against Jax, and her ex didn't make things any easier by allegedly wanting to 'start some weird argument' whenever he came over to spend time with their son.
Brittany also revealed why she may have been coy about discussing her new romance.
According to her, there's a clause in her and Jax's divorce paperwork dictating how their son can be introduced to either of his parents' new partners.
'We actually have it in our paperwork that unless you're in a serious relationship for at least six months, I would prefer like a year, but at least six months and we talk about it first, then nobody can be around Cruz,' she explained. 'I had to [do it], I had to protect [Cruz].'

Gabrielle Union reveals the 'stupid' purchase she made after cashing first big paycheck for Bring It On
Gabrielle Union revealed the 'stupid' purchase she made after cashing in her paycheck from her breakthrough film Bring It On. The 52-year-old actress, who rose to fame after starring in the cult classic cheerleading comedy in 2000, opened up about what she regretted doing when she 'made it' in Hollywood. She said that over two decades ago, she made a 'stupid' car purchase with her first big paycheck even against the advice of her father. While making an appearance at the American Black Film Festival in Miami on Thursday, June 12, she recalled her spontaneous purchase during a panel discussion. 'So stupid,' she began about her purchase, which she deemed not very worthwhile, while chatting with moderator Kelley L. Carter for her live, onstage discussion titled Sisterhood & Savings: A Conversation with Gabrielle Union. 'I went on the Mazda lot,' the movie star — who teased an upcoming sequel movie with Kirsten Dunst — recalled. 'I'm like, "Oh, I've made it when I have a Mazda." 'My dad's like, "Don't buy a brand new car. It depreciates the second you drive it off the lot",' she added. 'I walked into Mazda and I bought myself a black on black Mazda Miata with leather seats,' Union said before explaining how the car hurt her nearly every time she drove it. 'Let me tell you about leather seats in Los Angeles. Do you know I scorched myself every time I got out?' She added: 'Yeah, that was my first purchase. And it depreciated the second I drove it off the lot.' Over the years, Union as well as her husband, retired NBA star Dwyane Wade, have openly discussed their finances in the past. They previously revealed that they split their bills evenly even after getting married. Wade, 43, also previously shared that he and Union signed a prenup before they tied the knot in August 2014. While making an appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast in 2023, Wade said that they discussed it beforehand to protect each other's best interests. She said that over two decades ago, she made a 'stupid' car purchase with her first big paycheck even against the advice of her father 'So stupid,' she began about her purchase, revealing it was a 'black on black Mazda Miata with leather seats' while chatting with moderator Kelley L. Carter for her onstage discussion titled Sisterhood & Savings: A Conversation with Gabrielle Union 'I told her the same way, "I'll sign a prenup too. You're a millionaire. You got money. You work hard for yourself."' Union's decades-spanning, acclaimed career began in the 1990s with various sitcom appearances. Near the turn of the century, she landed supporting roles in 10 Things I Hate About You and She's All That, rising to fame in the 1999 romantic comedies. Union was 27 whens he starred opposite Kirsten Dunst in Bring It On. Earlier this year, Union teased an upcoming sequel and also admitted that her kids do not like the original movie. The original film starred Union and Dunst as the heads of rival cheerleading teams as they prepare for the national championships. Bring It On was a hit in its theatrical release in August 2000, taking in $90.4 million against an $11 million budget and gaining an enduring fan base. The film also spawned five direct-to-video sequels and a television movie sequel, none of which featured any of the original cast members, as well as a Broadway musical stage adaptation. Now it seems that Union and Dunst are ready to return for a sequel, with Union teasing a sequel during a March appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. She also admitted during the episode that neither of her kids — 17-year-old Zaya nor six-year-old Kaavia — enjoyed the beloved original, which comes after she opened up about husband Dwyane Wade's cancer diagnosis. Union was asked by a fan when the last time she saw Dunst, and asked about her comments about revisiting the original. 'Well, I ran into Kiki a couple of months ago. Our kids are around the same age, and her child goes to school with one of Kaav's best friends,' Union began.

Trump says Iran strikes ‘spectacular military success' and warns ‘bully' Iran to ‘make peace' or face ‘greater' attacks
President Donald Trump on Saturday said the 'mass precision strikes' carried out by American bombers on a trio of Iranian nuclear facilities had been successful and warned that more of the same could be on the table if Tehran does not return to negotiations. Speaking from the Cross Hall in the White House and flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio, the ex-Florida senator who serves as hisnational security adviser as well as Secretary of State, the president described the airstrikes as 'a spectacular military success' and said the three facilities targeted by U.S. warplanes had been 'completely and totally obliterated.' 'Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier,' he said. Trump thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli forces for the 'wonderful job' they've done during a week-long campaign to take out much of Iran's nuclear and military capabilities, and said the Israeli operation — along with tonight's American airstrikes — had 'gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel' from the Iranian nuclear program. He also warned Tehran that their aggression in the region and their nuclear ambitions 'cannot continue' and cautioned Iranian leaders not to retaliate. 'There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill, most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes,' he said. The president's remarks came just hours after he took to Truth Social to announce that U.S. forces had struck Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz and Esfahan, as well as the Fordow enrichment facility hidden in a mountain near the city of Qom, ending days of speculation over whether he'd order American forces to join Israel's week-old campaign to knock out Tehran's nuclear weapons program with a surprise attack aimed at bringing Iranian officials back to the negotiating table.

Rob Gronkowski's Sports Illustrated model girlfriend Camille Kostek reveals nasty side of being a NFL WAG
Rob Gronkowski 's model partner Camille Kostek has revealed the negative side of being an NFL girlfriend. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, 33, has known the former Patriots star since 2013, with the tight end retiring (for a second time) three years ago. But Kostek recently revealed that she was judged by the wives of other NFL players for not being married to Gronkowski. 'I felt like I was seen as a lesser-than girlfriend because I didn't have a ring on my finger,' she said on Kristin Cavallari's 'Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour,' per US Weekly. 'But you want to know what's so interesting about that? The woman that's coming to mind [who] judged me the most, she's divorced.' Kostek and Gronkowski, who met each other when she was a cheerleader for the Patriots, did break up in 2017 before eventually getting back together. However, Kostek explained that she used her time apart from the future Hall of Famer to pursue her passions - namely becoming a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. 'In that year, I decided to audition for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, which was on my bucket list. I cared about pursuing the things that brought me joy,' she said. 'There were so many things I was destined to want to do, and then I happened to date an athlete, and it was like, 'You are a WAG.' Kostek first modeled for SI Swimsuit in 2018, covered the magazine the following year and has been photographed for the brand every year since her debut. She was even named a 'Legend' of the brand last year. Last month, she walked the runway for SI Swimsuit in a show that included Livvy Dunne, soccer player Midge Purce and more. While Gronkowski and Kostek do not have a child together, they do share a dog named Ralphie, who the four-time Super Bowl champion mentioned when he wished his girlfriend a happy birthday back in February. 'Happy Birthday to my Dancing Queen @camillekostek !! From your incredible kindness to your infectious energy, you light up every room you walk into babe!!,' he wrote on Instagram. 'You deserve the best, not just today but always. Love you to the moon and back! And the best Momma anyone could ask for to our loving boy @ralphiegronkowski !!' Gronkowski, 36, established himself as one of the best tight ends in NFL history over an 11-year career. The University of Arizona became a favorite target of Tom Brady during their time together in New England, catching 17 touchdown passes in 2011 and winning three Super Bowls under then-Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
