Rebecca Sneed took to Menendez’s Facebook page to make the announcement to followers of her jailed husband and his brother, Erik Menendez.

“Guys! This is NOT a cheating scandal,” the 55-year-old wrote. “Lyle and I have been separated for a while now but remain best friends and family.”

She noted: “I continue to run his Facebook pages, with input from him, and I am forever committed to the enduring fight for Lyle and Erik’s freedom, as has been so evident over the years.”

Sneed added: “I will never stop fighting for them.”

In a second post, she wrote: “Love, loyalty, family, and friendship change shape over time but still exist.”

Menendez, 56, already has a new woman in his life — a student named Milly Bucksey, the Daily Mail reported.

Bucksey has visited Menendez in prison and the two have kept contact with a second illicit cellphone after the convicted murderer was busted with his first one earlier this year, according to the outlet.

“Lyle adores Milly,” a source told the Mail. “And she refers to him as her boyfriend even though he’s married.”

Though that might not be for long as insiders claim Menendez is ready to divorce Sneed, whom he married in 2003.

Menendez first noticed Bucksey on the Facebook group and approached her under an alias before revealing his true identity, the outlet reported.

The romance has since blossomed with photos obtained by the Mail showing the pair inside the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, posing with their arms around one another in front of one of the prison yard murals.

Reports of the relationship come as Lyle and Erik’s resentencing hearing looms.

Los Angeles County DA George Gascón announced he planned to pursue a lighter sentence for the brothers, saying the pair “have paid their debt to society.”

However, Gascon was voted out of office in this month’s election and will step down on Dec. 1.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he won’t make a clemency decision on the brothers’ murder convictions until Gascon’s replacement Nathan Hochman reviews the nearly 35-year-old case.

The resentencing hearing scheduled for Dec. 11 could be postponed as a result.

Lyle and Erik have been behind bars since March 1990 when they were arrested for the brutal 1989 shotgun slayings of their parents Kitty and José.

They both confessed to the grisly killings at their Beverly Hills home but claimed they snapped after enduring years of sexual abuse at José’s hands.

Prosecutors at their 1993 trial successfully argued the murders were committed for financial gain and contended that no abuse took place.

They were each sentenced to life without parole.
