It was a very unexpected reunion since their divorce had been so controversial! For those who don’t know, the couple dated for nearly two decades after marrying in 2000. However, their relationship became strained after David had an affair. While initially trying to make their relationship work, they announced in October 2017 that they were ending their marriage. Shannon told People at that time:

“It is heartbreaking for me and my daughters that this path had to be taken, but it is the only path. I felt alone in my marriage. You can do what you can to keep your family together, but you must have willing parties. It takes two people to make a marriage work, and that just wasn’t the case in our relationship.”

From then on, the exes engaged in a back-and-forth legal battle over custody and spousal support payments. At one point in court documents, David alleged Shannon’s drinking, claiming her actions were “harmful to the children.” The submission said:

“I have asked Ms Beador to agree not to drink or get drunk in front of the children and the request was denied and even denied that she even stated that she was behaving “self-medicated” despite the TV clip, in which she states is currently on the TV Bravo (NBCU) website and has been picked up and quoted in several media articles.”

Still, things seemed to be going in Shannon’s favor. In 2019, she received $1.4 million and $10,000 a month in support. But when their legal battle was over, things still seemed strained between them. While his now estranged wife Lesley Cook When Shannon was pregnant in October 2020, she claimed she sent the duo a baby gift – but it was returned to her immediately. Ouch!

What has changed now? Did these two put their beef aside for the night? Or are they in a good place? Who knows! But hopefully that means David and Shannon remain amicable going forward – at least for the sake of their girls! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below!
