‘RHOC’ Shannon Beador’s ex-husband, David, files for divorce from new wife

Reality TV

He’s shutting the Bea-door on another marriage.

David Beador — “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Shannon Beador’s ex-husband — has filed for divorce from his new wife, Lesley Beador, per TMZ.

The outlet reports that David, 57, officially filed on Thursday — only 23 months after marrying Lesley, 38. 

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, David cited irreconcilable differences and lists their separation date as Sept. 15. 

David is reportedly seeking joint physical and legal custody of the pair’s 19-month-old daughter, Anna Love. 

The Orange County businessman, who made sure to sign a prenup before marrying Lesley, does not want to pay any spousal support, TMZ reports.

David and Lesley did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

David and Lesley wed in October 2020. He finalized his divorce from Shannon, 58, in 2019 after nearly two decades of marriage and two-plus years of separation. 

The ups and downs of Shannon and David’s relationship — and its ultimate demise — played out across several seasons of “RHOC.”

The exes — who share daughter Sophie, 20, and 18-year-old twin daughters Stella and Adeline — did their best to power through David’s admitted infidelity, but were ultimately unsuccessful.

In 2018, one year after announcing her split from David, Shannon told People that she eventually felt “stronger” without him.

“Part of what I did after I separated with David — while staying home, not going out, and not doing much of anything — was I tried to self-reflect and figure out the changes I wanted to make in myself. What kind of person do I want to be?” she said at the time. 

“I’m inspired by so many other women that are standing on their own. It’s hard out there. And they encourage me.”

Shannon went on to find love again with boyfriend John Janssen, whom she has been dating since 2019.
