    The Real Shayne Davis: Dating Sober, Non-Monogamy & Vanderpump Rules

    Shayne Davis from Vanderpump Rules joins Alexandria Rizik on Love Sex LA: Unfiltered for an honest conversation about sobriety, sex, commitment, non-monogamy and the complicated relationships viewers watched unfold on reality television. Known as the “player with a heart of gold,” Shayne opens up about who he really is beyond his on-screen persona—and what people may have misunderstood about him after watching the season. He discusses the challenges of dating sober in Los Angeles, defining casual relationships, navigating jealousy and determining whether female attention, sex or the chase can become substitutes for other addictive behaviors. Shayne also gets candid about his fear of heartbreak, emotional vulnerability and why receiving the safety and nurturing he wants can sometimes make him pull away. The conversation explores ethical non-monogamy, monogamy, marriage, children and whether keeping relationships casual offers genuine freedom—or protection from the risks of commitment. Alexandria and Shayne break down his Vanderpump Rules situationships, including his dynamics with Natalie and Angelica, unresolved chemistry, “playing house,” communication issues and what viewers did not see behind the scenes. He also explains why he chose to speak publicly about erectile dysfunction and what he wishes women understood about men’s sexual health. Later, Shayne reflects on addiction, relapse triggers, protecting his peace and rebuilding his life after survival mode. He shares what sobriety has taught him, how he now helps others in recovery and the man, partner and entrepreneur he hopes to become. The episode balances playful Bravo tea with a deeper conversation about addiction, intimacy, masculinity, trauma and personal transformation.  Follow Love Sex LA: Unfiltered: Instagram: @lovesexlaunfiltered TikTok: @lovesexla YouTube: @lovesexla
