Jax Taylor Celebrates 1.5 Years Sober After Rehab Stay

Jax Taylor recently celebrated a significant achievement in his ongoing sobriety journey, marking 1.5 years of sobriety. In a reflection shared on May 18, 2026, Taylor revealed he voluntarily entered a 90-day treatment program late last summer to address his recovery and mental health. This past week, he returned to the facility as an alumnus to participate in their 5K Run, an event held in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.

Taylor described his path to sobriety as difficult but ultimately worthwhile. He previously shared details about his time in rehab in March 2025, describing the facility as pleasant and equipped with excellent therapists. His days were structured with yoga, therapy sessions, meals, and gym time, followed by medication management and evening relaxation. He noted that his time in the industry had led to many detrimental habits and a period of selfishness.

He also candidly discussed his past struggles with substance abuse, specifically cocaine use, which he had engaged in intermittently over a period. Taylor indicated that the intensity of his substance use increased around the time his divorce proceedings began in 2024. His divorce from estranged wife Brittany Cartwright is still pending, and they share a four-year-old son.
