Even after their relationship ended on a rough note, Scheana stayed in contact with her ex-husband. In her 2020 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she gave an update on Mike stating that he was doing okay at the time.
“He is [doing OK]. I mean, I think he’s still kind of finding himself, but he’s happy and he’s doing well,” she told Andy Cohen.

During a conversation with Bravo TV on February 12, 2024, she said that she hadn't spoken to him much but that they spoke a little last year.
She added that they had a conversation with him after his mother passed away and she was "checking in on him a lot." The Vanderpump Rules star noted that she usually texts him on his birthday a lot.
“And he doesn’t really reach out, but I still do to check in and just make sure he’s doing OK. I mean, he’s someone I’ve known since I was 15,” she continued.
