No need to wrap in jquery like :

jQuery('this is for testing <br/> How are you<br/>').split('<br/>');

Can be like :

('this is for testing <br/> How are you<br/>').split('<br/>');

That's no jQuery solution, but hopefully somebody will find it useful. The function returns one or two elements.

function splitContentsOnBr(el) {
    const before = document.createElement('div');
    const after = document.createElement('div');
    let found = false;
    el.childNodes.forEach(c => {
        if (found) {
            after.appendChild(c.cloneNode(true));
        } else if (c.tagName == 'BR') {
            found = true;
        } else {
            before.appendChild(c.cloneNode(true));
        }
    });
    return after.childNodes.length ? [before, after] : [before];
}
document.querySelector('#result').innerHTML = splitContentsOnBr(document.querySelector('h1'))
    .map(el => el.textContent.trim())
    .join(', ');

<h1>
  First part
  <br>
  Second part
</h1>
<div id="result">
</div>
