“Maybe a little bit, but I’m not, like, looking into that too much,” she explained. “I just got a lot going on right now.”

In addition to her ongoing divorce from Taylor, Page Six recently broke the news that Cartwright had a “casual” physical relationship with Sensley, who used to play basketball and work the door at “Vanderpump Rules”-affiliated bar TomTom. However, their fling has since ended.

Cartwright, 35, expressed to Page Six how “hard” the last year has been amid her separation from Taylor, 45. The two have been learning how to amicably co-parent their 3-year-old son, Cruz.

“It’s been very, very hard [and] probably the hardest year of my life,” she admitted. “But, at the same time, I’m just trying to stay positive. I’m stepping into my own, so I feel a lot of strength, and a different me is starting to come out. I kind of enjoy that, as well.”

Taylor was also at the event on Thursday — but seemingly avoided a run-in with his ex.

He confessed in his own interview with Page Six that the last year has been the “hardest” for him. However, he’s trying to take things “day by day.”

“In the 11 and a half years I’ve been on TV, this was by far the hardest year I’ve ever had to film [and] by far the hardest year of my life,” he admitted. “Other than my father’s death, this was by far up there. It was very, very hard.”

The Jax’s Studio City co-owner also told us he is “very nervous” about what viewers will see on the upcoming season of “The Valley.” He hopes he will be in a “better place” by the time it airs.

“This divorce is a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be, but the most important thing is my son,” he gushed. “All I care about is that little boy and making sure he’s happy and has a great life. We’re adults; we’ll handle it.”

Taylor confessed that he and Cartwright are still navigating co-parenting and have their “good days” and their “bad days.”

“Cruz is No. 1 right now, and as long as we’re good for him, that’s all that matters,” he continued. “We’ll get through this. It’s like anything else.”
