A source confirmed that the 45-year-old checked into an in-treatment facility for mental health to focus on his mental health. An in-treatment facility functions as a rehabilitation centre for those suffering from uncontrolled symptoms of mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorders, eating disorders and more.

The source said, “Jax has always been candid about his mental health struggles, especially during the past few months on his podcast. 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," as reported by People Magazine.

The couple who tied the knot in 2019, aired the first episode of their latest series Bravo. At the premiere of the show, Cartwright explained that both of them thought this was best for their family. She also revealed that after moving into a separate house she felt relieved as she needed this space away from her ex-husband.
