Celeb Big Brother: Matthew Wishes Shanna Moakler Happy Bday Amid Split
After being arrested - and subsequently released - for stalking his ex-girlfriend Shanna Moakler, Matthew Rondeau has now taken to social media to wish the Celebrity Big Brother season 3 star a happy birthday. Over the years, Shanna and Matthew's roller-coaster relationship has been full of dramatic twists and turns. Once Shanna's ex-husband Travis Barker started to date - and then got engaged to - Kourtney Kardashian, Shanna made headlines for disliking the Kardashian-Jenner clan and being outspoken about it.
Shanna was then cast on Celebrity Big Brother 3 alongside Kourtney Kardashian's ex-husband Lamar Odom, who's always had a great relationship with the KUWTK family members. Viewers expected that Shanna and Lamar would eventually butt heads over how they felt about the Kardashian-Jenners, but that never really happened on the show. After Celebrity Big Brother ended, however, Shanna had a dramatic night out with her boyfriend Matthew where he went live on her Instagram profile to call her all sorts of things.
Since then, Matthew Rondeau was arrested for alleged stalking and alleged domestic violence against Shanna Moakler. Now, though, Matthew appears to be trying to win Shanna back - or at least make amends with his ex-girlfriend - with certain grand gestures on social media. On Monday, March 28, which is Shanna's birthday, Matthew shared an Instagram Story to wish her a happy birthday and say a few sweet things about the Celebrity Big Brother star. He wrote, "We [definitely] had our highs and lows and I want to tell you even though we're no longer together and I can't see you in person, that I hope you have the most amazing birthday and I will forever wish you nothing but the best." Matthew also tagged Shanna's Instagram profile. As seen in the screenshot below, Matthew shared a picture of Shanna holding a stuffed animal at what appears to be an arcade-style venue.
The current relationship status of Shanna and Matthew seems to be that they are no longer together. Shanna has suggested that she's not with Matthew despite being spotted meeting up with him after his arrest. In this birthday post from Matthew, he also clearly states that they are "no longer together." Alas, all signs indicate that a reconciliation between them is very possible considering that Shanna is comfortable meeting up with Matthew in person and he's sharing some sweet words about his ex-girlfriend during her birthday.
Altogether, there's a narrative here that Matthew and Shanna might see his recent arrest as just another "low" moment in their long-standing relationship rather than a "point of no return." It also seems like Shanna is still somewhat in touch with Matthew since he is able to tag her profile on Instagram and feels comfortable writing her a birthday post. For now, Celebrity Big Brother fans will stay tuned for the latest updates from Shanna and Matthew on social media.
