0:00It's April 2nd. You're listening to Durham News today, AI-powered local news. Jack's Taylor dropped a heartfelt Instagram post on World Autism Awareness Day, April 2nd, sharing pics with his four-year-old son, Cruz. The 46-year-old Vanderpump Roolstar highlighted how proud he is to be Cruz's dad, posting photos of the kid beaming on his shoulders and them, hugging tight. Cruz, who he shares with ex-Brenny Cartwright, got diagnosed with autism last year. They've been navigating a messy split since she filed for divorce in August of last year, but just this month they agreed on share custody. Brittany's the main caregiver, with Jack's getting every other weekend and Wednesday nights. It's not finalized yet, but they're making it work for their boy. Fans lit up the comments with love and support, praising Jack's for raising awareness. Brittany opened up earlier this year about Cruz regressing in speech. She was hitting milestones early, saying words like mommy and daddy, then went, quiet. They jumped on speech and occupational therapy right away.

The pair met back in 2015, married in the Kentucky Castle in 2019, and welcomed Cruz in 2021 before. Starring on The Valley Spinoff, it's a reminder that family bonds run deep, no matter the challenges, and both parents are all in on giving Cruz the best shot at a joyful life.
