Reality TV star Brittany Cartwright has gone public with her new relationship after being spotted with boyfriend Brandon Hanson during a tropical getaway in Los Cabos, Mexico.
The Vanderpump Rules personality, 36, was photographed arriving at the resort town with Hanson on Thursday. The pair were seen grabbing tacos at a local stand before heading to the beach, where they spent time together in the sun.
Cartwright kept her look relaxed in casual athletic wear on arrival, later changing into a white beach cover-up over a swimsuit. She accessorized with hoop earrings, sunglasses, and a luxury handbag, while Hanson sported a white tank top showing off his tattoos.
The couple did not shy away from public displays of affection. Photos showed them kissing, posing for sunset selfies, and embracing as they enjoyed the beach setting.
The new romance has already sparked controversy after Hanson’s estranged wife, Jasina Stanko, publicly weighed in. On TikTok, Stanko commented on posts about the relationship, claiming: “He’s my husband!!!” and adding, “That man is married.”
However, sources close to the couple insist Hanson has been separated from his wife for several months. “Like Brittany, he is going through a divorce, and he and his ex have been separated for the past seven months,” an insider told Page Six. “They reconnected well after his separation and have found comfort in each other during this transition.”
Cartwright was first seen with Hanson at an event in Los Angeles earlier in August, sparking speculation about their relationship. She filed for divorce from her estranged husband, fellow reality star Jax Taylor, in April 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who married in 2019, share a four-year-old son, Cruz.
Cartwright’s budding romance with Hanson marks a new chapter in her personal life as both navigate separations and look ahead to fresh starts.
