Early life and education

Scheana Marie Jancan was born on May 7, 1985. She has Mexican heritage. She graduated in 2002 from Bishop Amat Memorial High School in La Puente, California.[2][3] In 2006, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from Azusa Pacific University.[4]

Career

She began her acting career with guest appearances on television shows Greek, Jonas,[5] Victorious and 90210.[6] In 2009, she appeared as the female lead in Jonas Brothers' music video for the song "Pizza Girl".[7] In 2012, she portrayed Angel Tomlin in three episodes of the anthology television series Femme Fatales.[6]

In 2013, she became a regular cast member on Bravo's reality television series Vanderpump Rules.[8] The series follows the lives of SUR and PUMP servers in West Hollywood, California. During her time on Vanderpump Rules, Shay released several dance-pop singles, most notably "Good as Gold." For her role on Vanderpump Rules, Shay and her co-stars Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney and Lala Kent won the "Best Reality On-Screen Team" award at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards.[9] She starred on Vanderpump Rules for 11 seasons, until the show was recast.[10]

In 2018, Shay relocated to Las Vegas for several months to star in a stage show called Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man at Anthony Cools Theater at Paris Las Vegas.[11] She replaced Kendra Wilkinson in the role of Robyn.[12] Since 2018, she has hosted a weekly podcast titled Scheananigans with Scheana Shay.[13]

On August 18, 2023, she released a song, "Apples" with Los Angeles–based group the 27s.[14] Rolling Stone magazine wrote of the song: "Not only does it sound like a bop, but it also seems like she’s drawing inspiration from her recent experiences dealing with friendship breakups in light of Scandoval."[14] Entertainment Weekly called the song "kind of a banger" and predicted "it might just be the song of the summer."[15] In a February 2024 interview with the Rolling Stone, Scheana and The 27s announced that they were working on an EP together.[16] On March 1, 2024, she released a third song with the group the 27s called "Sweet & Sour".[17] Also in 2024, Scheana and The 27s re-recorded an emo screamo version of her song "Good As Gold", originally released in 2013.[16]

On March 12, 2024, Variety announced that Davies (Shay) and her husband Brock would guest star on the second season of NBC's sitcom Lopez vs Lopez.[18] They played a couple named Erica and Justin, rival parents at Mayan's, played by Mayan Lopez, daughter's school.[18] On August 4, 2024, she served as a judge at the 73rd annual Miss USA pageant.[19][20] In 2025, Shay competed on season thirteen of The Masked Singer as "Bat". She was the first of Group B to be eliminated in the "Group B Premiere: Voices of Mount Olympus."[21]

Her book, My Good Side: A Memoir, was published by Grand Central Publishing on July 22, 2025.[22] The book debuted at number four on The New York Times Best Seller list in the nonfiction category.[23] Kirkus Reviews wrote in a favorable book review: "Effervescent throughout, Shay doesn’t skimp on the insider details and is a naturally engaging storyteller, sharing the mostly amusing anecdotes of her on- and off-camera life with candor, youthful charm, wit, and gratitude for her fame and the many joys (and pains) it’s brought to her life thus far."[24]

Business ventures

In July 2022, she launched her own eyelashes line, Viva Verano Lashes, consisting of three styles: "Summer", "Moon", and "Honey".[25] Shay's daughter inspired the line, with each lash named after her.

She has a large social media following and endorses products such as beauty and wellness products on Instagram. She has done numerous brand collaborations, including Steve Madden,[26] Smirnoff,[27] Paramount Pictures,[28] Elf Cosmetics,[29] Dove,[30] and Shark Beauty.[31]

Personal life

Shay was part of a lawsuit against Hooters where a manager secretly filmed her while she undressed in 2004.[32]

Shay dated actor Eddie Cibrian, while he was married to Brandi Glanville, Shay telling Us Weekly in 2013: "Seven years ago I met Eddie, and six or eight months go by and I find out that he’s married and I call him out. He lied at first about it and then he admitted it. So I stopped talking to him for a long time." Shay denies that she knew Cibrian was still married. She admits to believing he was separated from Glanville and that their divorce was being finalized. She did not know he was also dating singer LeAnn Rimes.[33][34][35]

Marriage to Michael Shay

Shay married Michael Shay on July 27, 2014, at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, California after knowing each other for over a decade.[36] The couple announced their separation in November 2016 and finalized their divorce in April 2017.[37][38][39]

After her divorce, Shay decided to freeze her eggs. For the six weeks before the egg retrieval, Shay said she stopped drinking, smoking marijuana, and having sex. She successfully harvested 12 eggs. In 2019, Shay froze her eggs again, less than a year after undergoing the procedure for the first time.[40]

Marriage to Brock Davies and family

She began dating Brock Davies in 2019.[41][42] After suffering a miscarriage with Davies, Shay announced on October 28, 2020, that she was expecting her first child in April 2021.[43][44] After the birth of her daughter, Shay was diagnosed with postpartum OCD and sought treatment for the disorder.[45] Shay legally married Brock Davies in August 2021;[46] they held a wedding celebration on August 23, 2022, at Dreams Natura Resort & Spa in Cancún, Mexico.[47]

Tattoos

She has several tattoos, including an apple, a treble clef symbol, a flower, a star and the word "Summer", a tribute to her daughter. She has a matching tattoo with her mother of a hummingbird behind her ear, in honor of her late grandmother. She has "Good As Gold", after her single, and "It's All Happening" on her arm from her favorite film, Almost Famous.[48]

Advocacy

In July 2024, she received the Illumination Award from International OCD Foundation for her advocacy in raising awareness about postpartum obsessive–compulsive disorder.[49][50][51]
