Jax Taylor suggests that The Valley Season 2 could rival any daytime soap opera. The new season will have two divorces and one engagement, as well as rehab and cheating allegations. All that’s missing is an evil twin.
“This is the craziest season of reality TV ever,” Jax shared. Finally confronting his years of cocaine and alcohol abuse, the Vanderpump Rules alum checked into a mental health facility while dealing with the breakup of his marriage to Brittany Cartwright.
While some Valley families are falling apart, others are growing. Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick are expecting their first child in June, while Danny and Nia Booko have a fourth baby on the way. Keep reading to find out what the cast has to say about Season 2.
Jax Taylor promises huge things on The Valley Season 2
Recently, the cast sat down with In Touch to spill some Season 2 tea. When asked who brings the most drama to the show, Jax and Janet Caperna were tied for the title of Drama Queen.
“I spent most of the season in a mental health facility,” Jax explained, “so I wasn’t there. But it’s safe to say my situation with Brittany will be the toughest to watch.”
For her part, Kristen is just happy her name didn’t come up. Although, Jason Caperna observed, “Kristen loves to stir the pot and walk away while the soup is boiling.”
Jesse Lally believes his now-estranged wife Michelle Lally was cheating on him before they filed for divorce. “A lot of new information has come to my attention, and it’s disappointing to learn, but you move on,” he shared.
It will be interesting to see if Jax’s behavior is any different in Season 2, now that he professes to be sober. “Every day is a challenge,” he admitted. “I take things one day at a time. Otherwise, it can feel too overwhelming. My goal is to continue making good choices and trying to be the best father and role model for my son.”
“Brittany has lost a lot of trust in me, which I can’t blame her for,” he added. “She controls the shots and has [their four-year-old son] Cruz the majority of the time. When I get to spend time with him, I don’t take a second for granted.”
Meanwhile, Brittany just wants Cruz to be safe and happy. “More than anyone in this world, I want Jax to get better.” she said. “Right now, it’s too soon to say. Time will tell. Despite everything, Cruz is such a happy little boy and I’m so thankful for that.”
Cast talks babies, engagements and disappearing wedding rings on The Valley Season 2
In Season 2, both Kristen and Nia are expecting babies, Kristen’s first and Nia’s fourth. When In Touch asked how Nia felt going through her pregnancy at the same time as Kristen, she answered, “I’m so excited. We’ll be attending sensory classes together [with the babies] for sure!”
Kristen’s bestie, Zack Wickham, is down to support the pregnant ladies, “Emotionally, physically, spiritually—basically every ‘ally’ there is. That’s what best friends do!”
Kristen’s fiancée Luke proposed on a group trip to Mexico, which will be shown on the show. In addition, Jasmine Goode recently became engaged to her girlfriend of three years, Melissa Marie. When In Touch asked how wedding planning is going, she responded, “Great! We’re having so much fun planning our wedding.”
But on a darker note, Kristen accused Jason of not always wearing his wedding ring. “I love Janet and our son more than anything,” Jason argued. “[I] would never do anything to risk losing their trust. Always consider the source when hearing a rumor!”
The Valley airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
