Jax Taylor and Lori Krebs enjoyed a rare public date night in Las Vegas, proving their relationship is only getting stronger.
“Things have gotten pretty serious between them,” a source exclusively tells Us of the couple after Taylor, 47, and Krebs attended the Grant a Gift Gala at Allegiant Stadium on Thursday, October 22, where they were spotted looking “completely relaxed and comfortable” with each other.
The Valley alum and his former publicist-turned-girlfriend are “solid and in it for the long haul,” the insider says.
With Krebs’ help, the source tells Us Taylor feels more at ease stepping back into the limelight and going to public events like Thursday’s gala which benefits Grant a Gift Autism Foundation – Ackerman Center, supporting Southern Nevada individuals and families living with autism.
“He’s in a much stronger place with his sobriety,” the source says, noting that Taylor is “coming up on two years of sobriety in November” and “doing really well.”
The former Vanderpump Rules star is “starting to feel comfortable going to events again and putting himself out there more, but having Lori by his side has been a huge source of support and security for him,” the insider adds.
Krebs “means everything to him and is incredibly protective of her and their relationship,” the source says. (Taylor and Krebs were first linked in July after they were spotted in Mexico for the reality star’s birthday.)
The couple’s love and support was on full display at the gala, according to guests who noted Taylor and Krebs were “very affectionate throughout the evening.”
Even when Taylor posed for photos with fans, he and Krebs “stayed close and seemed very much wrapped up in each other,” an eyewitness says.
Taylor and Krebs were also seen “enthusiastically introducing themselves” to Love on the Spectrum star Logan Pereira, expressing that they are fans of the show while posing for photos, per the guest.
While the pair’s Sin City outing gives fans a glimpse into their life together, they are often more low-key, with the source saying Taylor and Krebs “spend a lot of their free time together and rotate their time between L.A., Montreal and Florida.”
According to the insider, the Bravo star has gotten “really close with Lori’s family and friends too” and Taylor is “still close” with VPR alum Tom Sandoval.
“[He] keeps in touch with certain people from Vanderpump Rules, but he’s just in a completely different place in his life now,” the source continues. “He’s not out at bars or staying out late anymore. He’s really changed his lifestyle and is much happier living a quieter life.”
Prior to his relationship with Krebs, Taylor was married to Brittany Cartwright for five years. The exes separated in 2024 and share one child, son Cuz, 5.
