Shannon Beador Celebrates Her First Post-Split Valentine's Day
Shannon Beador may have been single on her first post-separation Valentine's Day, but she didn't celebrate the holiday by herself. Instead, she was joined by her three teenage daughters.
As her estranged husband David Beador spent time with his new girlfriend, Lesley Cook, Beador enjoyed her new life as a single woman with her daughters, 16-year-old Sophia and 13-year-old twins Stella and Adeline, and shared a throwback photo of the three of them on Instagram.
"My three Valentines," Beador wrote in the caption of the photo, according to a report by The Daily Dish on Feb. 15.
Beador also included the hashtags "All I Need," "Blessed," and "Grateful" with her Instagram post.
Beador confirmed her separation from David during the reunion special of The Real Housewives of Orange County in October 2017, then filed for divorce a couple of months later. Since then, she has been busy adjusting to life as a single mom as David enjoys his new romance with Cook and continues to flaunt his love for the mother of two on social media.
On Valentine's Day, as estranged wife Shannon cared for their kids, David was seen expressing his admiration for Cook on Instagram.
"David wasted no time and has already started dating again and has moved on entirely," a source told E! News on Feb. 14. "He's been seeing this woman for at least a few weeks now and the word has spread around Newport Beach."
According to the report, Beador has made her daughters her priority but is quite "distraught" about her former partner's new relationship. As the insider explained, Beador is extremely hurt by the romance but is doing her best to keep it together for the sake of her three children.
While Beador will certainly be faced with hard times in the coming weeks, she will also be quite busy with her full-time role on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Hopefully, being with her co-stars will help keep her mind off David and his new romance.
As some may have seen in an Instagram photo over the weekend, Beador confirmed that she and her co-stars such as Vicki Gunvalson, Kelly Dodd, and Tamra Judge have begun filming.
When season 13 premieres, there will be a number of faces missing, including Meghan King Edmonds, Peggy Sulahian, and Lydia McLaughlin. The premiere date has not yet been set.
