Jax Taylor and Lori Krebs are proving their relationship is stronger than ever, enjoying a rare public date night in Las Vegas. A source reveals that things have become "pretty serious" between the 47-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum and Krebs after they attended the Grant a Gift Gala at Allegiant Stadium on Thursday, October 22. The couple was reportedly "completely relaxed and comfortable" with each other, with the insider adding they are "solid and in it for the long haul."

Taylor, who is officially off the market, seemingly confirmed his relationship with Krebs – who also once represented his estranged wife Brittany Cartwright – via Instagram on Wednesday, July 29. With Krebs’ help, Taylor feels more at ease stepping back into the limelight and attending public events like the recent gala, which benefits the Grant a Gift Autism Foundation – Ackerman Center. "He’s in a much stronger place with his sobriety," the source noted, adding that Taylor is "coming up on two years of sobriety in November" and "doing really well."

The former reality 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 comfort and security for him," the insider explained. Krebs "means everything to him and is incredibly protective of her and their relationship." Taylor and Krebs were first linked after being spotted in Mexico for his birthday.

Taylor, 47, previously spoke out about his new romance with his former publicist, Lori Krebs, 42, telling Page Six on Thursday, August 6, "I love [Lori] to death. You can’t help who you fall in love with. Everybody deserves to find happiness." He added that he is "in love" with her. The couple's affection was evident at the gala, with guests noting they 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 shared.

Taylor and Krebs also "enthusiastically introduced themselves" to Love on the Spectrum star Logan Pereira, expressing their fandom for the show and posing for photos. While their Sin City outing offered a glimpse into their life, the couple typically keeps a lower profile. The source revealed that Taylor and Krebs "spend a lot of their free time together and rotate their time between L.A., Montreal and Florida."

The Bravo star has grown "really close with Lori’s family and friends too" and remains "still close" with VPR alum Kristen Doute. "[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 continued. "He’s not out at bars or staying out late anymore. He’s really focused and is much happier living a quieter life." Before his relationship with Krebs, Taylor was married to Brittany Cartwright for five years. The exes separated in 2024 and share a 5-year-old son, Cruz.
