Reality Television

His appearances on the show were primarily tied to his relationship with and marriage to cast member Scheana Shay. The series documented various aspects of their relationship, including personal struggles that contributed to the breakdown of their marriage.

DJ Career

Following his departure from the reality television spotlight, Shay pursued a career as a professional DJ. By 2025, he had established himself sufficiently in the DJ scene to be booked for events associated with prominent Bravo television personalities. In November 2025, Shay served as the DJ at a Real Housewives of Orange County reunion watch party hosted by cast members Tamra Judge and Katie Ginella.

The event drew attention partly because of ongoing tensions between his ex-wife Scheana Shay and certain Real Housewives of Orange County cast members. Bravo reported that Shay had teamed up with Ginella and Judge for the special event, describing it as his "latest career move." Coverage from Yahoo Entertainment noted the DJ appearance in the context of broader interpersonal drama between Scheana Shay and the Real Housewives of Orange County cast, characterizing the situation as an escalation of existing tensions.
