In a revealing excerpt from her memoir, Scheana Shay discusses her alleged affair with Eddie Cibrian, shedding light on their complex relationship.
Scheana Shay Reveals Alleged Affair with Eddie Cibrian
Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay has opened up about an alleged affair with Eddie Cibrian that began in 2006, while he was still married to Brandi Glanville. Scheana claims she was unaware of his marital status at the time.
Details from Scheana’s Memoir
The 40-year-old reality star shares her experiences in her upcoming memoir, My Good Side. An excerpt released by Entertainment Weekly reveals how their relationship evolved after meeting at a private cigar lounge in Beverly Hills.
“I first laid eyes on Eddie Cibrian a few months later, when he stepped off the elevator at the cigar lounge, where he played poker on Tuesday nights. If you were to ask me what my exact type was, it was Eddie—tall, dark, and handsome, with dimples. The second we made eye contact, he smiled at me with those dimples, and I melted,” Scheana recounted. “Our relationship wasn’t romantic from the jump, though the writing was on the wall from day one.”
The Nature of Their Relationship
Scheana described how Eddie made her feel special at work, stating, “He made a concerted effort to make eye contact with me.” Despite being married, she was oblivious to his status, saying, “He never wore a wedding ring, so I assumed he was single.”
She clarified, “To be clear, Eddie wasn’t my boyfriend (at least not exclusively). But we did start a physical relationship at the end of 2006, which was a weekly booty call.” After poker nights, they would go out for drinks and return to her house. “It was pretty brazen of him to be fully out in public with a bunch of single women while his wife and child were at home,” she noted.
Public Perception and Discoveries
Despite being spotted together publicly, Scheana believed she could end up with Eddie. “He looked how I’d always imagined my future husband would, and he treated me well,” she said. However, she was not looking to settle down at 21.

Eventually, someone informed Scheana at work about Eddie‘s marriage. “I didn’t believe it because I was wild about Eddie. We were out together all the time in public, so I didn’t feel like some secret mistress!”
When she confronted Eddie about his marital status, he denied it, saying, “No, that’s insane. Why would you ask me that?” This response left her feeling gaslit, yet she continued to see him.
Aftermath and Eddie’s Divorce
Eddie eventually divorced Brandi and married LeAnn Rimes, with whom he recently made a red carpet appearance.
