Jax Taylor has decided to seek in-patient treatment for his mental health struggles.
A rep for the reality star, 45, confirmed the news to the Post in a statement on Tuesday, July 30.
“Jax has always been candid about his mental health struggles, especially during the past few months on his podcast,” the rep said on Tuesday.
“He has made the decision to seek in-patient treatment. This is a particularly sensitive time for him and his family. They ask for privacy and respect until he is ready to speak more on this matter.”
The news comes on the heels of his ongoing split from his wife Brittany Cartwright.
On Monday, July 29, Taylor posted a photo of two books, “Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life” and “Set Boundaries, Find Peace,” on his Instagram story along with a caption that read simply, “Healing.”
The previous day, Sunday, July 28, Taylor took to the main page of his Instagram to share a photo of a statue of Buddha with an inspirational quote overlayed on top. The quote hinted at his decision to seek help.
“Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it,” the quote read. He captioned the post with a smiling emoji, a prayer emoji and a heart emoji.
