Shannon and her ex-husband, David Beador, announced their intention to separate back in 2017.
“After much thought and careful consideration, David and I have made the difficult decision to separate.
We remain partners in parenthood and are committed to raising our three daughters.

The situation was so dramatic that David’s girlfriend, Lesley Cook, even jumped in to defend him.
“David is an absolutely amazing dad.
… His daughters are the absolute light in his life and he loves them so much.

The girls will always come first.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like things really improved.
“Two in a half years in, it’s just flippin' awkward.
He won’t communicate with me and co-parent” (viaPeople).
