Scheana Shay, a star of Vanderpump Rules, has claimed that her husband, Brock Davies, cheated on her while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon.
In an episode of her podcast Scheananigans, Shay revealed that Davies had an emotional affair during her pregnancy, which she described as a betrayal. While she didn’t go into extensive detail, she mentioned that they worked through the issues in their marriage and are now in a better place.
Davies has since publicly apologized and acknowledged his mistakes, expressing regret for his actions. The couple has been open about their relationship struggles in the past, including financial and trust issues, but they have remained together and continue to co-parent their daughter.
Fans of Vanderpump Rules have followed their relationship closely, especially after Davies proposed to Shay on the show in 2021. Despite the challenges, they appear committed to moving forward.
Relationship Timeline & Cheating Scandal
- Early Days (2020-2021)
- Scheana and Brock met in 2020 and quickly became serious.
- Brock proposed on Vanderpump Rules Season 9 (filmed in 2021), but their relationship faced scrutiny due to his past (financial issues, an ex-wife, and limited involvement with his two older kids in Australia).
- Scheana defended him, and they married in an intimate ceremony in July 2022.
- Pregnancy & Emotional Affair (2022)
- Scheana was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon, when she claims Brock had an emotional affair (she didn’t name the other woman).

- Scheana said therapy and open communication helped them rebuild trust.
Cast Reactions
- Ariana Madix (Scheana’s close friend) has been supportive but previously questioned Brock’s intentions during Season 9.
- Lala Kent (who also had a baby around the same time) said she was “heartbroken” for Scheana but respects her choice to stay.
- Tom Sandoval (post-Scandoval) awkwardly joked about “karma” during a reunion, which Scheana shut down.

Recent Updates (2024)
- The couple appears stable, often posting family moments on social media.
- Scheana admitted they still have “trust issues” but prioritize co-parenting.
- Brock has focused on fitness coaching and podcasting, avoiding major controversy since the scandal.
Why This Matters on Vanderpump Rules
- Scheana’s storyline has long revolved around turbulent relationships (ex. her divorce from Mike Shay, drama with Rob Valletta).
- Brock’s past and this scandal fuel fan debates about whether he’s truly changed.
- The show’s upcoming seasons may revisit this, especially since Scheana is a central cast member.
Here’s a breakdown of Brock Davies’ past controversies and how Scheana Shay’s situation compares to other major Vanderpump Rules cheating scandals:
Brock Davies’ Past Controversies
- Abandonment Allegations (Ex-Wife & Kids in Australia)
- Brock has two children from a previous marriage in Australia but rarely sees them.
- His ex-wife, Natalie Davies, claimed he left her financially struggling and was largely absent from their kids’ lives.
- Scheana defended him, saying he was working to rebuild those relationships, but fans criticized him for focusing on VPR fame instead.
- Financial & Legal Issues
- Brock admitted to past financial irresponsibility, including unpaid child support (though he claimed it was due to visa/work struggles).
- In 2021, reports surfaced that he owed $170K in back taxes—Scheana later clarified they’d paid it off.
- Visa Drama
- Fans speculated he married Scheana for a U.S. green card. She shut this down, insisting their love was genuine.
- His past domestic violence charge (from 2007 in Australia, which he called a “misunderstanding”) resurfaced during VPR drama.
How Scheana’s Situation Compares to Other VPR Cheating Scandals
1. Scandoval (Tom Sandoval & Ariana Madix, 2023)
- Similarities: Both involved long-term partners and emotional betrayal.
- Differences: Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss was physical, months-long, and exposed publicly. Scheana forgave Brock privately before revealing it.
- Fan Reaction: Scandoval was universally condemned, while Scheana’s choice to stay with Brock got mixed responses.
2. Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright (2018)
- Jax cheated with VPR faithhful (a Vegas waitress) while dating Brittany.
- Like Scheana, Brittany stayed, married him, and had a child—but they’ve since separated (2024).
- Key Difference: Jax’s cheating was physical and caught on camera; Brock’s was emotional (allegedly).
3. Tom Schwartz & Katie Maloney (2022 Divorce)
- Schwartz’s drunken hookups (and emotional neglect) led to their split.
- Scheana’s situation mirrors Katie’s in choosing self-respect over a toxic dynamic—but Scheana stayed.
Why Brock’s Scandal Didn’t Blow Up Like Scandoval
- Private vs. Public: Scheana controlled the narrative via her podcast—no shocking footage or cast pile-on.
- No “Other Woman” Drama: Unlike Raquel, Brock’s alleged affair partner wasn’t a VPR cast member.
- Timing: Revealed post-Scandoval, when fans were exhausted by betrayal storylines.
What’s Next for Scheana & Brock?
- They’ll likely address it on VPR Season 12 (filming now), especially since the show thrives on messy relationships.
- Brock’s redemption arc depends on whether he avoids new scandals and steps up as a dad/husband.
