Scheana Shayand fiancéBrock Daviesare explaining why he hasn’t spoken to his two other kids in four years.
Davies says he was 20 and a “different person” when he became a dad, and that he had a “bad breakup” with his ex about five years ago and hasn’t seen his kids in four years, not even over FaceTime.
“She cut my whole family out,” he said, not identifying his ex-wife.
“It sounds bad but there’s a lot more to it,” Shay said in a confessional, defending her fiancé. “No contact, but it’s not for a lack of trying. He moved to America to provide a better life for his family.”

In September, Shay and Davies told PEOPLE that they “had a conversation” about the possibility of adoption or using a surrogate in the future since she isn’t sure she wants togo through pregnancy again. “Obviously, with this pregnancy, we did have issues on the back end through labor,” Davies said. “So we’ve already talked about that briefly. But we’ll give it some time. A couple of months, at least.”
Speaking withPage Six last month, Davies said of sharing his side of the story on the show this season: “They’re going to come for the jugular, and I’m okay for that because I understand my faults, what I’ve done in my past, and going forward I’ve done the right thing.”
“Definitely, obviously not my proudest moments, but it’s a part of my life and you guys will get to meet me more this season,” he added. “You’ve only got one chance, and if you lie, when you tell the truth, then people aren’t going to believe you so you just got to turn around and own it 100 percent.”
