Scheana Shay revealed her husband Brock Davies cheated on her while pregnant with their daughter, Summer, who they welcomed in April 2021.
In an excerpt from her upcoming book, My Good Side, the Vanderpump Rules star, 40, recalled the moment she learned her partner was unfaithful.
‘I remained in a state of paralyzed shock as he confessed that he’d cheated on me two years prior, when we were living in San Diego during the pandemic, while I was pregnant with Summer,’ she wrote.
While speaking about her state of mind, at the time, the TV personality explained: ‘I had spent so much time fighting off my anxiety and convincing myself that just because Tom [Sandoval] cheated on Ariana [Madix] didn’t mean Brock would ever cheat on me. Now, I was finding out just how wrong I was.’
‘As I sat there, feeling completely sick to my stomach, he admitted that — at the time — he was scared about being a father again, specifically about whether he even deserved to be, and he chose to deal with it by sleeping with someone else,’ she recalled. ‘I use the word ‘chose’ because it was very much a conscious decision. No one twisted his arm or dragged him into bed.’
Davies’s admission came after their Sandoval’s months-long secret relationship with costar Rachel Leviss was exposed.

Shay detailed after his confession she was ‘unable to contain my rage’ about his ‘brief affair’ with a woman at his gym in 2021.
‘I slapped him and threw a Rubik’s cube in his direction, which he dodged,’ she wrote. ‘To this day, every time I see a Rubik’s cube it triggers me, pulling me right back to this incredibly dark moment in my life. Same goes for any mention of an F45 gym,’ she wrote.
Shay revealed that same night Davies gave her a letter he had written a year after the affair ended.
‘He wrote the letter, which included more specifics than I ever wanted, such as how many times they’d slept together, where they’d done it, and where they hadn’t (our house),’ she added. ‘He also pointed out that it was purely physical, never emotional, and he always used protection.’
Shay noted she doesn’t believe Davies was ‘sober when he put pen to paper, so the spelling errors were rampant.’
‘I can’t explain why, but that really irritated me. Maybe because it felt like another sign of his carelessness,’ she said. ‘The letter made me remember the weeks leading up to my second trimester when, like many pregnant women, I was sexually stimulated. I’ll never forget how, during that time, Brock was ‘afraid’ to have sex with me (or he simply didn’t want to).’
At the time, Shay recalled how him brushing off her advances spiked her anxiety and ‘killed’ her confidence.
‘His behavior now made so much more sense. Once I’d read it, that was more than enough. I told him to immediately toss it into the fire. I never wanted to set eyes on those words again,’ she explained.
