Jax Taylor Biography

American model, actor, and reality show star Jax Taylor was born Jason Taylor in Michigan in 1979. Taylor grew up in the Shelby Township area of the state, initially enlisting in the army after graduating from high school. But eventually Jax felt his calling was in the entertainment industry, and so he moved to New York City to pursue a career as a model, at first rooming with friend and actor Channing Tatum.

Jax then moved to Los Angeles, where he officially been pursuing work as “ Jax Taylor” instead of “Jason Taylor.” Early gigs included modeling for a number of print magazines, including Trump Magazine, Abercrombie & Fitch, and GQ. But Jax’s biggest breakthrough came when he was featured on the “Real Housewives” spinoff Vanderpump Rules.

Vanderpump Rules launched in January of 2013, and Jax’s role—as SUR Restaurant’s often shirtless, womanizing bartender—launched his career as a reality star. Taylor continues to appear on the show, now in its 5th season, but it was also announced in the spring of 2017 that the Bravo network would be giving Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright their own spin-off show, tentatively titled—Vanderpump Rules: Jax and Brittany Take Kentucky.
