The moments have been sweet (like when they married in Season 8 of VPR) to shocking (including when Brittany found out Jax cheated on her a couple seasons before), but all have been unforgettable. 

In the latest episode of Bravo's Hot Mic podcast (recorded before the news of their separation broke), the pair sit-down with host Alex Baskin to break down the ups and downs they've faced in their relationship over the years.

Brittany Cartwright Reflects on Jax's Past "Infidelity"

Back in Season 6 of Vanderpump Rules, Brittany and Jax's relationship issues were on full display when it was found out that Jax had cheated on Brittany. When sitting down on Bravo's Hot Mic podcast, Brittany admitted that it wasn't as easy as viewers may have assumed for her to get over that betrayal and that she felt "so embarrassed" by it at the time. What made it even more difficult was having to "relive" the moment she found out about Jax's "infidelity" when the show aired "in front of everybody."
