Shannon Beador and her husband, David, are separating after 17 years of marriage. The Real Housewives of Orange County star released a statement to People magazine on Friday, October 27.
“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 told People. “I felt alone in my marriage. You can do what you can to keep your family together, but you have to have willing parties. You need two people to make a marriage work, and that just wasn’t happening in our relationship.”
Shannon and David share daughters Sophie, 15, and Stella and Adeline, 12.
The now exes documented their rocky marriage on the hit Bravo show, including when David was unfaithful to Shannon during season 10 and their attempt to reconcile their marriage through therapy and a vow renewal.
