Brittany Cartwright moved out of the $1.9 million house she beforehand shared with estranged husband Jax Taylor and into an Airbnb rental following a “horrible fight.”

In addition to sharing what would want to occur for her and Jax, 44, to get again collectively, the Vanderpump Rules alum, who is about to star alongside Jax of their new Pump Rules spinoff, The Valley, mentioned Jax’s lack of a intercourse drive and admitted to contemplating using a sperm donor, like Lala Kent, 33, for her second baby.

“I just packed up my stuff and left,” Brittany, 35, recalled to PEOPLE finally week’s The Valley premiere celebration. “At this point, Cruz is the most important thing, he’s all that matters. Other than that, like, I’m just trying to have fun and be happy right now for once.”

According to Brittany, she believes she and her two-year-old son Cruz, “[deserve] better.” So, relating to doubtlessly making amends with Jax, he’s going to must “make changes that he needs to make.”

“It’s been hard because a lot of people think our timing is weird because the show is coming out,” Brittany continued, denying claims of a PR stunt. “But I can’t control the freaking timing. I wish I could. If people have actually watched me and know my personality, they should understand this is not something I would do for a show. I am all about family, I’m all about marriage. I’ve been about that my entire life. This is something real that I really needed to step back from for a minute.”

In addition to their combat, Brittany stated she and Jax confronted challenges after he stopped being keen on intercourse.

“We’ve been together nine years, and people stop appreciating and take you for granted after some time — and that should never happen in a marriage,” Brittany instructed Page Six. “So that’s what I’m trying to get back, and if it doesn’t come back, then we won’t get back together.”

In the trailer for The Valley, Brittany is seen telling buddy and co-star Janet Caperna that she doesn’t really feel that Jax is “attracted” to her.

“We don’t have sex ever,” she says.

Although the dry spell had a unfavorable influence on Brittany’s vanity, she finally started listening to her personal voice.

“I think I just had to be like, ‘I’m hot as hell, and I’m not going to listen to this bullsh*t anymore,’” she defined.

Prior to their breakup, Brittany requested Jax do sure issues to enhance upon their marriage.

“I asked him to do little things — four little things — and … go to therapy was one of them. He hasn’t done that yet,” she shared. “So there’s little things that I’ve asked him to do. We’ll see if he does it all, but we’ll also see if it changes anything.”

Because Jax has “been burned by therapists” earlier than, Brittany stated he’s hesitant to return.

“I understand that, for sure. But there’s certain things that we could work on together,” she reasoned. “I’m not saying I’m perfect by any means, but I had to step out and take care of myself and my son … That’s what matters more than anything else in the whole wide world is him, obviously.”

While Brittany and Jax spoke about increasing their household earlier than separating, Jax expressed concern about welcoming a second baby within the trailer. And now, months after filming wrapped, Brittany is contemplating a sperm donor.

“That’s a complete ‘nother thing that you’ll see play all through the season and a complete ‘nother reason why we are where we are now,” she teased of their familial dispute. “I would so go the Lala route if I needed to. I admire her for that. I want more kids; I want Cruz to have a sibling. I come from a family of five, so I’ve received three brothers and a sister, and I like that huge household dynamic.”

“I don’t want a million kids, but I at least want one more child. I’m only 35, so I could still maybe meet somebody if it goes that route. I don’t know. I’m not saying it would. Maybe if me and Jax got back together, we could still have another one. If not, I’ll go the Lala route,” she continued.

The Valley season one premieres on Tuesday, March 19, on Bravo.
