Jax Taylor

Jax Taylor, born Jason Michael Cauchi, is an American reality television personality best known for his role on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, where he was a main cast member from the show’s premiere in 2013 through 2020. Born in Shelby Township, Michigan, Jax moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in modeling and acting, working as a model in Miami and Europe before finding his way into the restaurant and nightlife scene in West Hollywood. His time working at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant SUR led to his casting on Vanderpump Rules, where he became one of the show’s most polarizing and talked-about figures.

During his eight seasons on Vanderpump Rules, Jax became known for his larger-than-life personality, dramatic relationships, and memorable confrontations. His romance and eventual marriage to Brittany Cartwright in 2019 was a central storyline on the show, and their Kentucky wedding was even featured in a special Bravo episode. The couple welcomed their son Cruz Michael Cauchi in April 2021. Jax announced his departure from Vanderpump Rules in December 2020, but his time on reality television was far from over.

In 2024, Jax and Brittany returned to Bravo as the stars of The Valley, a spinoff series following their lives and the lives of their friends in the San Fernando Valley suburbs of Los Angeles. The show explored their transition from the West Hollywood party scene to suburban family life, though it also chronicled the challenges in their marriage. Jax and Brittany announced their separation in early 2024, which became a major storyline on The Valley.

Beyond reality TV, Jax has pursued several business ventures including his involvement in the bar and restaurant industry with Jax’s Studio City, brand endorsements, and appearances. He has also launched merchandise lines and made paid appearances at events across the country. With his continued television presence and entrepreneurial efforts, Jax Taylor’s net worth is estimated at $4 million as of 2026.
