For Vanderpump Rules alum Jax Taylor, his time on reality TV may have been the best days of his life. But now it's on to a new season. He explained why he's leaving The Valley after two seasons.

On Wednesday, July 16, Taylor announced his intention to step away from the upcoming third season of the reality show, primarily to focus on his sobriety. Cohen, who hosted The Valley' s second season reunion, spoke with PEOPLE at Las Culturistas Culture Awards on July 17, and voiced his support for Taylor.

Jax Taylor confirmed that he's leaving The Valley after Season 2. He joined the Bravo show in Season 1 and took fans inside his life over the course of the last two seasons, from the shifting dynamics in his relationship with Brittany Cartwright as their marriage ended to the many changes in his friendships.
