Vanderpump Rules star Brittany Cartwright opens up about 27-hour labor alongside husband Jax Taylor

Brittany Cartwright and husband Jax Taylor are over the moon after welcoming their son Cruz Michael Cauchi on Monday, April 12.

But it turns out the newborn’s development from conception to birth did not come easy for the Vanderpump Rules star.

Cartwright revealed on Wednesday that she was in labor for more than a full day, but in the end, got to witness the ‘amazing’ birth in a mirror alongside her husband and mother, who were both in the delivery room.

In a new interview with E News, Cartwright, 32, confessed she went into labor for up to 27-hours.

‘It was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it was definitely the most beautiful and rewarding thing,’ she said before focusing in on the effect their new bundle of joy has already had on her.

‘It was all so amazing and now having him in my arms I couldn’t imagine life without him!’

The Kentucky native went on to share how she and her husband both cried through the enduring experience, and how Jax was ‘supportive and encouraging’ the entire time.

Wanting to witness herself giving the ultimate gift of life as it happened, Cartwright was able to witness Cruz’s birth through a mirror.  

‘It was so amazing and motivating to see,’ she said of the birthing experience, which she also got to share with her mother Sherri Cartwright. 

‘My mom also got to be in the delivery room with us, which was all so special especially after the close call and tough year she had this year,’ the concerned daughter said in reference to her mother’s bladder and kidney issues over the past year.

‘It was just the perfect day, even when I screamed in pain. Our doctor and nurses at Cedars were absolutely amazing!’

Seeing his wife endure 27-hours of labor before Cruz finally decided to make his grand entrance to the world was more than enough to convince Taylor that ‘women are the most amazing creatures on the planet.’ 

‘Watching my wife give birth to my son was absolutely incredible. It’s amazing to see what the human body can do,’ he gushed.

‘Brittany is the strongest woman I know. It wasn’t the easiest pregnancy for her but she powered through without any complaints. The respect and love I have for my wife has reached a new level and I am just in awe of her.’

The couple also shared the inspiration behind their son’s name: Cruz Michael Cauchi.  

Cartwright said they decided on Cruz as a first name about five months into the pregnancy, in part, because ‘Cruz means cross,’ which she thought would be a beautiful homage to her religious upbringing. She also thought Michael was ‘super cute’ and goes perfectly with Cauchi.

Cauchi is Taylor’s legal surname; his real name is Jason Michael Cauchi.     

‘His late father’s last name is Cauchi so of course we wanted to continue his legacy with our son and family. Michael is Jax’s middle name and his uncle/godfather’s name,’ she added while sharing how Michael has always been her mother’s father boy’s name.
