New Love in Mexico: Brittany Cartwright Spotted with Boyfriend Amidst Divorce Drama

Brittany Cartwright was seen for the first time with her new boyfriend Brandon Hanson on Thursday while on vacation in Mexico

SCANDALOUS ROMANCE ALERT! Brittany Cartwright Spotted with New Beau Brandon Hanson Amid Divorce Drama

In a shocking turn of events, reality TV starlet Brittany Cartwright has been spotted cuddling up with her new beau, Brandon Hanson, in the sun-kissed paradise of Mexico. The 36-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum was seen walking hand-in-hand with her mystery man on the beach as they shared a passionate kiss under the sunset.

But what's got everyone talking is that Cartwright's new romance comes just weeks after she was slammed by Hanson's wife, Jasina Stanko, for allegedly dating the reality star during their marriage. But it seems like there's more to the story than meets the eye...

The Cheating Scandal Unfolds

According to sources close to the couple, Cartwright and Hanson have been friends for a while, but reconnected after both had already separated from their respective partners. "They bonded over their shared experience of going through divorces," spills an insider. And it seems like their connection was more than just platonic!

But don't be fooled by the picturesque setting - things got hot and heavy between Cartwright and Hanson as they strolled along the beach, hand-in-hand. The reality TV star looked stunning in a white knit sweater over a blue one-piece swimsuit, while her new beau flashed his numerous tattoos in a side-open tank top.

The Drama Continues...

It's been revealed that Cartwright's boyfriend has been separated from his ex for over half a year - but was still married when the photos of him and Cartwright surfaced on TikTok. Hanson's wife, Jasina Stanko, took to the comments section to claim he was still her husband, sparking a heated debate.

But it seems like Hanson's camp is trying to downplay the drama. "They both are experiencing similar life changes," says an insider. "Like Brittany, he is going through a divorce, and he and his ex have been separated for the past seven months."

A Love Triangle in the Making?

This comes as no surprise to fans of Cartwright's reality TV show - she's had her fair share of high-profile romances in the past. The 36-year-old has been linked to several men, including Will Gittens and Julien Sensley (who just so happens to be a friend of her ex-husband Jax Taylor).

Jax's Secret Life Revealed?

Speaking of Taylor, it seems like he's got some skeletons in his closet. Insiders claim that the reality TV star has been battling a cocaine addiction and mental health issues - something he only revealed after Cartwright filed for divorce.

As Cartwright navigates her new romance, she's also dealing with the aftermath of her contentious divorce battle with Taylor. The former couple share a four-year-old son named Cruz, and sources close to the family claim that custody battles are on the horizon.

Will This Romance Last?

Only time will tell if Cartwright and Hanson's whirlwind romance will last - but one thing's for sure: this reality TV star is not afraid of controversy! With her new beau by her side, it looks like she's ready to take on whatever life throws her way. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy love triangle!
