Shannon Beador Reveals Shocking Reason for Never Reconciling with Ex John Janssen

Shannon Beador, star of The Real Housewives of Orange County, has firmly stated that her relationship with ex John Janssen is over. During a conversation about season 17 of the Bravo series on Wednesday, June 14, the reality star, 59, exclusively told We that they will not be getting back together.

Beador shared that although a reunion doesn't seem likely, she and Janssen, who is also 59, are currently on good terms. This comes after a few months of not speaking following their split. Beador disclosed that neither of them are currently seeing anyone, but admits that it's still difficult to see their relationship unfold on television. Their relationship began in 2019 and after almost four years together, Beador was caught off guard by Janssen's decision to end things. She expressed her disappointment, stating that she had hoped they would spend the rest of their lives together and that she had never loved anyone like she loved John.

Following the conclusion of filming for RHOC, the breakup took place. With season 17 already underway, Shannon has been struggling to witness her fellow cast members comment on her personal relationship issues. Shannon shared with Us that she had learned her lesson after confiding in Gina Kirschenheiter during season 15, as well as Emily Simpson, as Kirschenheiter had spread gossip about her struggles with Janssen to Simpson.

"I become quite agitated when individuals discuss me without any knowledge of the situation. It's frustrating to hear a group of people who lack information make judgments about my relationship," expressed Shannon.

Shannon Beador shared with Us an update on her relationship with her ex-husband David, whom she split from in October 2017 after 17 years of marriage. The two recently reunited at their twins' high school graduation and Shannon is optimistic that this could lead to a better co-parenting relationship in the future.

She expressed her optimism that they can maintain a coparenting relationship, despite their lack of history in that regard. While she doesn't anticipate becoming good friends with her ex, she's committed to putting their children first and avoiding conflict between them. Recently, Shannon surprised her followers by sharing a photo with David after an unexpected encounter, much to the delight of their children.

However, half an hour later, he noticed how thrilled the kids would be and gave her permission to share it online.
