The preview for Season 4’s third episode shows Scheana Shay confiding to boss Lisa Vanderpump that not all is well with her marriage to Mike Shay, which is affecting her work. Scheana, on the verge of tears, tells Lisa that Mike has been abusing prescription pills and excessively drinking.

“It all just started kind of around like Christmas time. Just a few months in [the marriage]. I noticed his drinking increased a lot – just more than drinking. The mixing of pills with alcohol is just a double depressant. You know, it’s like, ‘Oh my knee’s hurting so I’m going to take a Vicodin, but then I’m going to have a couple of glasses of wine.’

When Lisa, who attended Scheana and Mike’s wedding in July 2014, asks if this happened on a regular basis or only when Mike’s knee really was hurting, Scheana says it became a regular thing. She then reveals that it got to the point where Mike was taking five pills a day.

Despite the tough situation, it seems Vanderpump Rules viewers will get to see a happy ending. A look at Scheana’s social media pages show that she and Mike are still together and seemingly very happy. The couple are currently in Chicago. On Sunday, Scheana posted a photo of herself standing in front of the Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

In response to some people who speculated that Scheana’s weight loss might be due to the stress from her marriage, Scheana wrote that the weight loss has nothing to do with Mike; she has been working out with a personal trainer to become physically fit. She pointed out that after turning 30, it’s time for her to get in shape again.

Five weeks ago, Mike Shay posted a loving message about his wife. Somehow, he falls in love with Scheana Marie more and more every day and he said he would be lost without her.
