An eyewitness told reporters the two were affectionate throughout the day and made no effort to conceal their proximity.
The pictures were taken during a larger birthday getaway for Taylor on July 11.
Video evidence and onlookers describe a relaxed, intimate vibe
Along with the still images, a video circulated showing the former reality star deep in animated conversation with Krebs while seated poolside.
Sources say the atmosphere was casual but unmistakably intimate, prompting immediate online reaction once the material surfaced.
Brittany Cartwright’s reaction and accusations toward her publicist
A source told Page Six that Cartwright learned about the photos shortly before publication and feels more betrayed by Krebs than by Taylor.
Insiders claim Cartwright had continued to trust Krebs professionally, despite prior rumors involving the pair.
According to the source, Cartwright believes Krebs repeatedly inserted herself into moments meant to support clients, and this latest incident crossed a line.
The insider added that Cartwright is unlikely to keep working with Krebs moving forward.
Public responses, PR silence, and social media moves
Representatives for Taylor, Krebs and Cartwright did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
Shortly before the images broke, Krebs deactivated her Instagram account.
How this fits into the couple’s separation and co-parenting life
Cartwright, 37, filed for divorce in August 2024. The split followed a public announcement of their separation in February 2024.
They continue to co-parent their 5-year-old son, Cruz, as legal proceedings move forward.
Previous gossip: selfies, blind items and denials
This is not the first time Taylor and Krebs have been linked in gossip columns.
- In February 2024 both posted selfies to Instagram Stories, including one that showed Krebs kissing Taylor on the cheek.
- A blind item later claimed the two had an encounter in a Canadian bar bathroom.
- Taylor and Cartwright publicly denied any affair on their former podcast, and Taylor addressed the chatter again at a White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Both Taylor and Cartwright have previously dismissed the rumors as unfounded.
Industry background: who is Lori Krebs?
Krebs runs LoriK Public Relations and lists more than 15 years in celebrity management and partnerships on her site.
Her experience includes handling media for high-profile clients, which makes this alleged breach of trust particularly notable for insiders.
