Jax Taylor & Lori Krebs: Romance Without Cheating?

Jax Taylor and his longtime publicist Lori Krebs, who also worked with his estranged wife Brittany Cartwright, are at the center of a new scandal. Photos surfaced of the pair getting cozy by the pool during a birthday trip to Puerto Vallarta. Sources confirm they've been together for a few months, and Brittany is 'very upset'—especially since Lori kept working with her despite rumors of a romance two years ago.

Fans immediately suspected cheating, given Jax's history. But insiders insist there was no affair during his marriage. They say Jax and Lori grew closer over the past months while going through their respective divorces and raising children with autism. Those shared experiences bonded them, and friendship turned into romance. Lori, who lives a substance-free lifestyle, also supported Jax through his cocaine addiction recovery.

The couple didn't plan to go public and wanted to keep things private, but their open displays of affection on vacation made that impossible. Do you believe there was no affair? Share your thoughts in the comments!
