'It was a mutual decision': Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Marie SPLITS from beau Robert Valleta to 'focus on their careers'
Scheana Marie has called it quits with her beau Robert Valleta.
The Vanderpump Rules star, 32, began dating the male model, 35, last December after her divorce from husband Michael Shay was finalized.
'It was a mutual decision. They still really love and care about each other, but right now they have differing schedules,' a source told People on Thursday.

'The feelings on either side haven’t changed. It wasn’t a matter of falling out of love or what not. It was just a matter of each needing to focus on their careers.
'They still talk every day, and when they’re both in town, they spend time together. They have stayed friendly and are very much involved in each other’s lives since the split,' the insider added.
Robert revealed that he and the Bravo personality had parted ways in the comments section of an Instagram photo he posted on Tuesday.
When a follower asked him where his 'beautiful girlfriend' was, Robert replied: 'Sadly we broke up, we are still amazing friends and we adore each other.'

The posting has since been deleted.
Scheana began dating Robert after knowing him for over a decade. He is the younger brother of actress Amber Valletta.
Last fall after two years of marriage, the brunette beauty and her ex-husband Michael decided to go their separate ways.

'I just didn't think it was something that was fixable,' she explained during an interview with E! News.
'From three months into the marriage, if it wasn't one thing it was another and we both decided amicably that this relationship wasn't working anymore and a divorce was the way to go.'
The couple had been estranged since early November when it was claimed Michael - who also goes by Mike - was missing and was struggling with his sobriety.
Mike, 29, later took to Instagram to assure family, friends and fans he was not in a drug spiral and was not missing.
Meanwhile, Scheana - who works as a waitress at SUR - has yet to comment on the status of her and Robert's relationship.
