‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Scheana Shay Secretly Separated? How Far Will She Go Hide That Her Marriage Is Over?


Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Marie Shay’s husband, Mike Shay, mysteriously disappeared for six days. While early reports indicated that Mike had disappeared after breaking his sobriety and running off with the couple’s money, the Hollywood Gossip reports that he has been living with his parents this entire time.

Have the Vanderpump Rules stars separated for good?

“He’s been with his parents and brother. Everyone knows and has known exactly where he is,” an inside source revealed. “He’s doing great, focusing on his family and his music.”

The source claims that Scheana spread the drinking rumors in order to ruin Mike’s public image. The reality star was apparently planning on blaming her husband for the failed marriage.

Mike’s disappearance was first noticed when he skipped out on the premiere of Season 5 of Vanderpump Rules.

“They knew people would ask questions when Mike didn’t show up to the premiere,” the source stated. “It was inevitable.”

The couple has only been married for two years. They tied the knot in front of cameras back in 2014, and the ceremony was well documented by Vanderpump crews. Despite a good start, their marriage began to fracture following Mike’s alcohol problem.

Mike and Scheana tried to work things out, and they even got back together after taking a short break. Their marriage, however, was never the same after the split, and this season is expected to dive into their issues.

Unfortunately, People is reporting that Mike and Scheana will not be getting back together anytime soon. Instead, an insider told the outlet that the estranged couple “will not be living together indefinitely.”

“They both agreed to focus on themselves for the next few months and then reevaluate early next year and see if their path is still meant to be together,” the insider explained. “There is no talk about divorce at this time, but they will not be living together indefinitely.”

Scheana apparently had no idea that Mike was planning on leaving. On his way home from band practice, Mike was supposed to pick up some groceries but never returned home. Scheana received a few text messages from Mike until he went completely silent for six days.

According to TMZ, Scheana got so worried that she cut off their major credit cards. She then emptied their shared bank account out of fear that he was using their money to supply his habit.

Of course, many Vanderpump Rules fans suspected that Mike had returned to his old ways. After all, his drinking and prescription drug abuse has been well documented on the reality show.

“Shay is not sober anymore as he claims and he has been struggling with his sobriety lately, which has caused concern among his friends and family,” an insider revealed during his absence.

In response to the substance abuse allegations, the Daily Mail reports that Mike took to social media and claims that he is still sober and in control. Mike shared a photo on Instagram of him reading a newspaper as proof that he wasn’t missing.

“I am not missing. I am sober. I am Happy!!! Don’t believe everything you read,” he wrote. “I love my wife and will always love my wife. Whatever is going on between us will stay between us! I love my family and my family loves me and a lot of things have been said out is protection and anger by many people. I am just ready for the next chapter in my life!”

It didn’t take long for Scheana to respond to Mike’s post. While she left out the details, Scheana told her fans on Instagram that everything will be revealed on the show.

“Looking into the future!” she stated. “The truth will come out this season on #PumpRules so stay tuned!”

It still isn’t clear if Mike is struggling with his sobriety. Whatever the truth, it sounds like Scheana just wants to see her husband happy, even if that means spending some time apart.

“She just wants him — whether they’re together or not — to be happy and healthy and get the help that he needs, if he needs that help. It’s unfortunate that his family isn’t helping to address those issues,” an insider revealed.

To make matters worse, Scheana is reportedly grieving the death of a close friend. In fact, Mike left soon after Scheana found out that her good friend, who was like family, had passed away.

Considering Mike’s absence and recent struggles with substance abuse, it looks like their marriage is all but over. That being said, E! News reports that Mike and Scheana have not talked about divorce — at least not yet.

“No decision has been made about the future of the marriage,” a source explained to the outlet. “There are more big conversations that need to be had. Vanderpump Rules had been wrapped but they recently picked up filming again. This will play out on the show.”

The shocking separation comes just months after Scheana revealed her marriage was going great. Fans can only hope that this is another small hiccup and the couple will get back on track before things really fall apart.

Fans can find out what happens between Scheana and Mike on Season 5 of Vanderpump Rules, which airs Monday nights on Bravo.
