SHE'S GOT A NEW LOVE IN TOWN! Brittany Cartwright's Fresh Romance Sparks Drama After Her New Beau's Wife Spills the Tea

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, reality star Brittany Cartwright has found herself at the center of a messy love triangle after her new beau Brandon Hanson was caught cheating on his wife with the Vanderpump Rules alum. The drama unfolded when photos of Cartwright and Hanson's PDA-filled night out were posted to TikTok, sparking a heated exchange between Hanson's alleged mistress and his supposed better half.

But just as it seemed like things couldn't get any juicier, a source close to the situation revealed that Hanson's wife Jasina Stanko had been separated from her husband for over seven months, leaving many wondering if Cartwright was really dating a married man. Or was she in on the knowledge all along?

The scandal broke when photos of Cartwright and Hanson's romantic evening out were shared on social media, prompting Stanko to take to the comments section to set the record straight. "That man is married," she wrote, before later claiming that Hanson was indeed her husband.

But when asked if she had also been involved with him, Stanko responded with a cryptic message: "I married him. You know him?" leaving fans of the reality star stunned and intrigued.

However, sources close to the situation claim that Hanson's wife has been separated from him for over seven months, with some even suggesting that he and Cartwright had reconnected well after his split from Stanko.

However, a source told Page Six that Hanson and Stanko have been separated for over half a year

"It seems like they both are going through a similar life change," the insider revealed. "Like Brittany, he is going through a divorce, and he and his ex have been separated for the past seven months."

This revelation comes as no surprise to fans of Vanderpump Rules, who have witnessed Cartwright's own tumultuous marriage to Jax Taylor come to an end. The couple split after 10 years together and six years of marriage, with Cartwright filing for divorce in August 2024 citing "irreconcilable differences."

But what may raise some eyebrows is the fact that Hanson has been open about his personal struggles during this time, including his own divorce battle. And it seems like he's found comfort in Cartwright, who has also been navigating her own contentious divorce.

The source also told the outlet that Cartwright and Hanson, who seemingly have known each other for a while, 'reconnected well after he had already been separated' from his ex

The two have reportedly bonded over their shared experiences, with sources claiming that they've found solace in each other as they navigate their respective divorces and personal life changes.

But while Hanson may have won the stamp of approval from Cartwright's pal Kristen Doute, not everyone is convinced that his new romance with Cartwright is anything more than a publicity stunt. After all, the reality star has been known to use her love life as fodder for her podcast and social media following.

And speaking of which, it seems like Cartwright's personal life has been making headlines for months now. Before her split from Taylor, she was linked to several other men, including Julien Sensley, a close friend of the Vanderpump Rules star, and Will Gittens, who she briefly dated after her breakup with Taylor.

But what about Hanson's wife? What does the future hold for her, and will she be taking Cartwright down a peg or two in the process?

Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: this messy love triangle has got everyone talking.
