More than 15 years after Scheana Shay unknowingly had an affair with Eddie Cibrian while he was married, the Vanderpump Rules alum is revealing if she is still in touch with him, his ex-wife Brandi Glanville or his current wife LeAnn Rimes.
The reality star — who released her memoir, My Good Side on June 22 — had a relationship with Cibrian while he was married to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum.
During his marriage, he also began seeing Rimes, who he later married in 2011, two years after his split from Glanville.

In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, the reality star, 40, says she was last in touch with Glanville “a few months ago.”
“We keep in touch,” she admits. “We text from time to time or I’ll see her out [at an] event or something, [I] saw her at BravoCon a couple of years ago, but we keep in touch via text.”
As for Rimes, Shay reveals that they haven’t talked “in several years,” adding, “We used to text or tweet DM a little bit back and forth with each other.”
Shay admits that she hasn’t been in touch with Cibrian since their affair.
“I have not talked to him since 2008 or nine, whenever that happened. I think it was 2009,” she says of Cibrian. “Never ran into him. I mean, LA is small, but I can’t believe that — it’s not small enough that I’ve [haven’t] ran into him in 16, 17 years.”
“And that’s how long ago this was,” she emphasizes. “I met him in 2006, 19 years ago. People forget how long ago it was.”
She adds the affair happened “five and a half years ago before we ever even shot our pilot” for Vanderpump Rules.

In her new memoir My Good Side, Shay reflected on her relationship with Cibrian — and if she has regrets about their time together.
“I’ve been asked many times if I regret my relationship with Eddie,” she wrote. “Honestly, it’s hard to beat yourself up about dating a married man when you didn’t know he was married. He lied to me repeatedly when I wanted nothing more than to trust him.”
However, she admitted that in the aftermath of the affair coming to light, she wished she had thought about Glanville and the couple’s sons Jake, 18, and Mason, 22, writing, “What I do feel badly about is that, after I found out, I didn’t think about the impact on Brandi and their kids. Or how it would damage her to learn that we’d had this relationship for two years and then to watch me being interviewed about it on television.”
“I couldn’t see beyond my own hurt and betrayal from Eddie or conceive of how it would feel to be his wife and the mother of his kids. I’ve come a long way since then. I’m not that young, naïve girl anymore.”
She then issued an apology to Glanville and her children, saying, “And I’m truly sorry for the pain that Brandi and those boys suffered. No one deserves that.”
In her book, Shay also revealed how she didn’t see the signs of Cibrian’s infidelity.
“It really felt like we were building something,” she recalled after the pair met at a private member’s cigar lounge in Los Angeles and began seeing each other. “Did I think it was weird that I never went to his house? No! He lived in Calabasas, supposedly. And I certainly wasn’t making the trek to Calabasas in 2007, when Ubers didn’t exist, and I had less than $1,000 to my name.”
“It was so much easier and more fun to hang out in Beverly Hills or Hollywood, and my place was closer and more convenient,” she added. “I didn’t see a single red flag, especially since we weren’t exclusive.”
