Photos of the couple spread on social media, showing them sharing a sweet moment on the beach over the weekend.
Brittany, 36, donned a string bikini with a white cover-up over it, and her brunette locks in a high bun.
Brandon also dressed in beach attire, teal beach trunks, a white tank top, and a white hat.
One pic captured the duo from the side, as Brandon wrapped his arms around the TV star.
After the pictures were shared on the gossip Instagram site Cici Loves You, fans praised Brittany for her new relationship following her messy split from her ex, Jax Taylor, 46.
THROWING SHADE
However, Shahs of Sunset star Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi entered the chat with a surprising speculation regarding Brittany’s physique.
“No shade, but is she pregnant too? I mean, he’s holding her belly and the belly is definitely bellying,” the Bravo star commented.
Brittany didn’t appear to pay mind to GG’s remark, but Kristen, 41, jumped in to defend her The Valley co-star.
Kristen took their exchange to their private DMs, although she later posted and deleted their conversation online.
“Why would you COMMENT on a photo of brittany, speculating pregnancy?? as a woman and a mother “f**king disgusting,” Kristen’s message read.
GG responded hours later on the defense, claiming that Brandon’s positioning of his hand around Brittany’s stomach looked similar to a pregnancy announcement.
She also claimed that the Vanderpump Rules alum appeared to be sporting a baby bump, despite admitting that “she’s not in my life for me to know what her body normally looks like.”
Although GG confessed, she was “clearly wrong” with her assumption, she went on to harshly clap back at Kristen for calling her out.
The TV personality concluded her lengthy response by warning Kristen to “buckle up,” as the podcast host now wasn’t on her good side.
The Cast of The Valley
Vanderpump Rules spin-off The Valley has attracted fans with its drama-filled episodes and entertaining cast. The reality show, which airs on Bravo, features some familiar faces from VPR and others as they manage their work and personal lives in California. Here is the cast of The Valley:
Jax Taylor, 44: former VPR star who is married to Brittany Cartwright, but is currently going through a separation
Brittany Cartwright, 35: former VPR star who is married to Jax Taylor, but has moved out of their marital home as they work through their issues
Kristen Doute, 41: former VPR star who is dating Luke Broderick and previously dated VPR’s Tom Sandoval and James Kennedy
Luke Broderick, 32: Kristen’s boyfriend who spends his time in The Valley and also in Colorado where he enjoys outdoor activities
Danny Booko, 40: Nia Booko’s husband who is from Michigan and works as an actor and voiceover artist

Fans quickly snagged the pair’s DM exchange before it was deleted, and many voiced they were in Kristen’s corner.
“I get being in the public eye but a woman also in the public eye questioning her on being pregnant is so gross to me. You wonder why women have body image issues,” one Instagram user wrote.
“This is actually just gross and mean, it’s not even shade at this point,” said another.
“GG clearly meant all the shade she threw. I can’t believe that in 2025 we’re still commenting on women’s bodies,” chimed in a third.
NEWFOUND ROMANCE
Last week, The U.S. Sun exclusively obtained photos of Brittany and Brandon catching a flight out of town.
Brandon later shared a photo on his Stories showing that Kristen and other friends joined them on the trip.
Brittany has yet to confirm her relationship with Brandon, although she admitted to People that she was seeing someone new.
The Kentucky native is currently in the process of finalizing her divorce from Jax after six years of marriage and a 4-year-old son, Cruz.
According to PageSix, Brandon has been separated from his wife for over a year.
