Scheana Shay put on an united front with her 'cheating' husband Brock Davies as they were joined by daughter Summer Moon at the Azusa Public Library in L.A. on Friday.
The TV personality, 40, recently revealed in an excerpt from her newly-released memoir My Good Side that Davies had an affair when she was pregnant with their daughter.
And during Friday's episode of her Scheananigans podcast, Davies broke his silence over the infidelity to issue a groveling apology and called himself an 'absolute coward.'
However, the couple brushed aside the cheating revelation as they were seen publicly for the first time since Shay opened up about the topic in her book - which was released on July 22.
The Vanderpump Rules alum was effortlessly chic during their visit to the library while wearing a white tweed miniskirt as well as a matching cropped blazer with gold buttons.
She left the outer piece unfastened to show off a cream-colored, bandeau top underneath.
Scheana additionally slipped into a pair of closed-toed, white pumps and accessorized the preppy look with gold earrings.
The reality star's brunette locks were parted in the middle, and fell down to brush the tips of her shoulders.
The mom-of-one was seen carrying a camera in her left hand while flashing a cheerful smile as the trio arrived to the building.
Davies was stylishly casual wearing a brown button up which was tucked into the waist of light gray, pin-striped trousers.
He completed the ensemble by donning a pair of black loafers and sported black shades as they strolled underneath the bright sunshine.
Their daughter Summer Moon - who turned four back in April - was spotted walking in between her parents.
Shay later posed for a memorable snap with her mini-me daughter as they spent time inside the library.
The media personality stopped by the venue for an event called An Afternoon With Scheana Shay and was described as a 'candid, funny, and unfiltered look behind the cameras,' per the official Azusa website.
In her memoir My Good Side, Shay revealed that Brock had cheated on her when they were living in San Diego during the pandemic. She had also been pregnant with their daughter at the time.
She recalled being in 'a state of paralyzed shock' when Davies initially confessed his infidelity with a woman at his gym.
The star admitted that she had not been able to 'contain my rage' at the time and further penned, 'I slapped him and threw a Rubik's cube in his direction, which he dodged.
'To this day, every time I see a Rubik's cube it triggers me, pulling me right back to this incredibly dark moment in my life. Same goes for any mention of an F45 gym.'
And on Friday's episode of her podcast, Brock addressed the affair and expressed, 'It's rough to realize that your actions have betrayed the ones that you love.
'It was a sexual affair. There was no dating. There was no courting,' he said. 'It was just purely that meetup, and then we had sex. And it happened multiple times over a three-week span.'
Davies said he ended the fling with the unnamed woman because, 'I felt horrible about it,' he said, adding, 'I was like, "This is not okay. I'm not doing this." And I pulled the pin.'
Admitting that he had been going to therapy, the reality star said he was able to stay quiet about his infidelity because he 'minimized what it was' and was able to 'compartmentalize it.'
'I was an absolute coward,' the Lopez vs Lopez actor admitted. 'That man was a coward, and he wasn't thinking about protecting you. He was just thinking about protecting himself, saving his face.'
He continued, saying his actions were 'selfish. It was a self-preservation tactic, you could say.
'I believed that I was never gonna do it again, and we could just move past this. ... And it was just another level of betrayal that I put on top of the first one.'
Davies said he developed those tactics during his unstable upbringing in his native New Zealand which instilled in him a 'drive for achievement,' and the need to 'find my value in my achievements.'
'It created this egomaniac,' he explained. 'I detached from a lot of my emotions easily. I minimized a lot of my destructive qualities and characters.
'Looking back on that now, I can kind of understand where there's a serious problem there. It wasn't until I was open to learning more about that where I realized, "Okay, I am a part of this problem and I can change it."'
In her memoir which was published on Tuesday, she mentioned Scandoval - which had been between co-stars Tom Sandoval and Rachel Leviss - and rumors that Davies may have also consorted with Leviss which lead to his confession.
On the podcast, The Valley star didn't mention anything about Leviss, who is living in Arizona and working as a sound bowl therapist, but did say running into friends in San Diego about 18 months after the fling reminded him that 'my destructive actions might cost me everything.'
'Since then, it has just been building up and building up,' he revealed.
'Every day, just got bigger and bigger and bigger, and the weight was heavier and heavier.
'And Scandoval, on the side of it all, was an element, but it wasn't the core reason.'
'I realized that in order for me to actually have a healthy relationship with you, one based on complete honesty, I needed to address this,' he told his wife.
'This was the one thing that was hanging over me. It burned a hole in my heart. It really did.'
Shay writes in her book that Davies told her he was scared of being a dad again and would be a 'bad dad,' as a result of his relationship with son and daughter who live with his ex-wife and her new husband in Australia.
'I just used that as an easy way out," he asserted of Friday. 'And the reality is, you just gotta do the work,' saying he had 'a serious conversation with myself,' to become a better husband and father.
He thanked his wife for modeling 'a type of forgiveness' he'd never known, adding, 'I'm proud of you for telling your story, and I'm sorry for this being a part of your story.'
Scheana first began dating Davies in 2019 and their daughter was born two years later in April 2021.
The pair were legally married later that same year and then held a romantic ceremony which took place in Cancun in 2022.
