Scheana Shay shares her ‘best divorce advice’ for Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright amid messy split
During a recent interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” the “Vanderpump Rules” star, 39, shared her “best divorce advice” for her pals as their separation continues to make headlines.
“The difference is when I got divorced, there was not a house or a child involved,” Shay told us on Friday night while celebrating National Vodka Day at the Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind Glam Bar in New York City.
The Bravolebrity — who finalized her divorce from ex-husband Mike Shay in 2017 before marrying Brock Davies in 2022 — encouraged Taylor, 45, and Cartwright, 35, to keep prioritizing the happiness of their 3-year-old son, Cruz, throughout any discord.
During the event, the “Vanderpump Rules” star shared her “best divorce advice” for pals Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor.
“My best advice today would just be try and co-parent the best you can so that Cruz has the most peace possible in his life,” said the mom of one, who shares daughter Summer Moon, 3, with Davies, 34.
“Never argue in front of your kid,” Shay elaborated, while also giving props to Cartwright for “putting herself and her child first” amid the breakup.
Scheana chatted with “Virtual Reali-Tea” days before Page Six exclusively reported that Cartwright began a secret fling with Taylor’s pal Julian Sensely shortly after the duo called it quits.
After the “Valley” stars announced their decision to part ways in February, Cartwright engaged in a “casual” physical relationship with the basketball player-turned-actor who once worked at the “Vanderpump Rules”-affiliated bar TomTom.
An insider told us that Cartwright and Sensley only ever spent time together in private and that any semblance of a romance is over. He is currently engaged to a woman with whom he shares a young child.
Taylor seemingly alluded Cartwright’s involvement with Sensely in June in a since-deleted X post that read, “you may want to ask brittany who she’s been sleeping with for the past 4 months….”
The drama will play out on Season 2 of “The Valley,” Page Six hears.
Scheana was by Cartwright’s side as cameras rolled for the sophomore installment of the Bravo reality show.
“Season 2 of ‘The Valley’ is gonna be spicy. It’s tangy, it’s a little sweet just like this Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind vodka,” she cheekily told “Virtual Reali-Tea” while promoting her partnership with the beverage brand.
“And I hung out with my friends from ‘The Valley’ a lot this summer,” said the California native, who moved into a house in Sherman Oaks, Calif., this year during a pause in production for “Vanderpump Rules,” which once starred Cartwright and Taylor.
“I live in the Valley now, so I am a Valley girl,” Scheana emphasized.
Whether she’s hanging at home in the Valley or hosting events in the Big Apple, the “Scheananigans” podcast host loves indulging in her “favorite thing to drink”: Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind.
“It is legitimately my favorite thing to drink,” she enthused during the party. “It’s so good you don’t even need to mix it with anything. Straight out of the bottle, I’m telling you, room temperature and it is so good.”
