\u201cThank you @mikeyavalon1. Can\u2019t believe that year flew by so quick,\u201d he captioned the first image, noting in the second snap how he loves Cartwright \u201cso much.\u201d
Just before celebrating their wedding anniversary, the Michigan native joined Cartwright down in Kentucky. He shared photos and videos from their chill weekend, during which they shopped and engaged in other casual activities.
The Vanderpump Rules: Jax and Brittany Take Kentucky costars began dating in 2015 and got engaged in 2018. In the year that followed, the pair tied the knot in Cartwright\u2019s native Kentucky.
Taylor and Cartwright\u2019s wedding was officiated by Lance Bass. As four of the couple\u2019s costars were fired from Vanderpump Rules over resurfaced racist behavior, the 41-year-old former boy bander \u2014 who also partners with Taylor on Just Add X \u2014 claimed that the reality star could be fired by Bravo for his own history of racist and homophobic comments.
\u201cHe will lose out. I do not see Bravo keeping him,\u201d Bass said on his \u201cThe Daily Popcast with Lance Bass\u201d podcast on June 15. \u201cI have a feeling soon this will be done. It gets bigger and bigger.\u201d
Bass also claimed to have cut business ties to Taylor, but the former SURver\u2019s rep denied this shift in a statement to Us Weekly. \u201cLast week the Just Add X website had been hacked, showcasing some hateful slurs, which Jax felt horrible about,\u201d the statement read. \u201cIn an emotional state, Jax had texted Lance and the Just Add X team offering to step down from the company if that was the direction they wanted to take. The team immediately followed up with a phone call with Lance and the team reassured and fully supported him.\u201d
Bass clarified on the June 17 episode of his podcast that he doesn\u2019t think Taylor is \u201ca racist or a homophobe.\u201d The Out of Sync author said he \u201cwould not be acquaintances with someone\u201d who was either thing, but he suggested that Taylor\u2019s comments stem from his \u201cignorance.\u201d<\/p>\n
