'The Real Housewives of Orange County' News: Shannon Beador and Husband Split After 17 Years of Marriage
The 52-year old "Real Housewives of Orange County" star, Shannon Beador, and her husband, David Beador, have parted ways, as Shannon revealed to her co-stars. The couple were married for 17 years and had three children together.
Shannon broke the news to her fellow housewives during a filming session for the season 12 reunion special of "The Real Housewives of Orange County." The episode airs on Bravo in November, according to People.
"It's heartbreaking for me and my daughters that this is the road that had to be taken but it's the only way," Shannon said to reporters. "I felt alone in my marriage. You can do what you can to keep your family together, but you have to have willing parties," she explained.
"You need two people to make a marriage work, and that just wasn't happening in our relationship," the reality star went on to say. She learned earlier that her 53-year old husband was in an affair, as she shared during a season 10 episode of the show.
It was just one of the many episodes that the couple had to go through, with most of it being witnessed by fans of "The Real Housewives of Orange County." The pair actually got through David's infidelity, and renewed their vows last year.
The peace won't last long, however, and troubles began again for the couple soon after. At one point, Shannon opened up to her mom about her relationship with her husband, earlier this year.
"We remain partners in parenthood and are committed to raising our three daughters," she later said to The Daily Dish via Bravo TV. The couple shared three kids,15-year old Sophie and their 12-year old twins Stella and Adeline.
"This is not the future we envisioned, and we kindly ask for privacy, especially for our children, during this transitional time," Shannon requested in her statement.
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 12 airs on Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo TV.
