Brock Davies has broken his silence about cheating on his wife Scheana Shay.
Shay, 40, revealed that her spouse had cheated on her while she was pregnant with their now four-year-old daughter Summer Moon in her upcoming memoir, My Good Side.
Davies opened up on the Friday during Shay's podcast Scheananigans.
'It's rough to realize that your actions have betrayed the ones that you love,' Davies, 35, said regarding the hurtful incident which happened when the couple were living in San Diego, California during the pandemic shutdown.
'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 'compartmentalized 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,' he told Shay.
'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, revealed in the was that Scandoval between co-stars Tom Sandoval and Rachel Leviss and rumors that Davies may have also consorted with Leviss, that lead to Davies' 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 Scandavol, 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.'
