Scheana Shay’s ex Mike Shay is teaming up with The Real Housewives of Orange County cast members, Tamra Judge and Katie Ginella, for a very special event. The Vanderpump Rules alum and Scheana’s first husband has kept a pretty low profile since his 2017 divorce from Scheana, but is now making a major career move as a DJ.
How to Watch
Katie took to Instagram on Tuesday, Oct. 28, where she announced that Mike will be DJing an RHOC Season 19 Reunion Part 1 watch party that she is co-hosting with Tamra. The event will be held on Thursday, Nov. 6, at Even House Golf Club in Tustin, California, with Mike providing the tunes when they’re not watching the show together.
“Mike Shay will be DJ-ing, there’s going to be a lot of fun brands here, a little bit of gifting, and some surprises!” Katie explained in the video posted to Instagram, which also included a shot of Mike behind the DJ booth ahead of the big event.
“Can’t wait to see you!” Katie added in the caption of the post. On the post, Tamra commented, “Can’t wait.”
What is Mike Shay doing today?
Mike is still working in music, as evidenced by his upcoming gig. As fans will recall, Mike released several singles during his time on VPR.

“We went and got lunch last week,” she said. “I wanted to tell him about it in person. I didn’t want him to find out about it online. I was very honest. I told him that I do speak about our relationship. And he was like, ‘You know what? It’s your book. I don’t care. It’s your story.’ And he was genuinely happy for me. He’s known me since I was 15 years old. And he knew that this is always something I wanted to do. So he was very happy.”
Scheana Shay shares new details about her relationship with Mike Shay
In her memoir, Scheana revealed that she “got caught up in the fairytale” of marrying Mike, a longtime friend of hers from high school. “It all seemed so right,” she wrote. “Shay was my best friend. I love that we grew up in the same area, went to the same high school. We were both raised Catholic, and we were extremely family-oriented. One thing I remember thinking when we first started dating was that I never got sick of him. I always wanted him around. He was sweet and talented and had so much potential. I truly thought the show was a place where his music career could flourish.”

But, the couple “split amicably” in 2016, after being married for two years. “Unfortunately, the timing wasn’t right, and we weren’t meant to be together in the long run,” Scheana noted in the memoir.
