Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor’s 2-Year-Old Son ‘Stopped Talking’ [Video]

Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor want the best for their son.

On Tuesday’s episode of The Valley, Brittany, 35, and Jax, 44, had their son Cruz, 2, meet with a speech therapist named Dory because the Kentucky native said the toddler seemed to “regress” when it came to talking.

“He stopped talking altogether and now we are going to put him in speech therapy just to make sure that he has all the help that he needs,” Brittany said in a confessional interview.

Jax called Cruz a “smart kid” and told his wife of four years, “I feel like I’ve been researching everything and I feel like I’m doing everything I’m supposed to be doing.”
