David Beador Is Sticking To One Plan He Made With Shannon Beador

David Beador isn’t completely out of his wife’s life even though they’re no longer living under the same roof. He and Shannon Beador are sticking to one plan they agreed on prior to separating.

Last Friday Shannon announced that she was splitting up with David after 17 years of marriage. She’s aired her share of grievances over their rocky relationship throughout Season 12 of The Real Housewives of Orange County. It finally reached a point that made fans wish she’d leave her husband already. David Beador wasn’t especially supportive of his wife’s efforts to prepare healthy foods, flaunting the fact that he could eat junk food or would question her over something like using buttermilk as an ingredient in one of her dishes. The couple was clearly unhappy and the distance between them was growing.

In spite of the fact they’re no longer together, the Beadors are committed to raising their three daughters as a family unit as much as possible. As Shannon expressed in her statement about her separation, she and David will “remain partners in parenthood and are committed to raising our three daughters.”

According to a new Radar Online report, David Beador is “still playing a very active role in his kids’ lives.”

“While the kids are living with Shannon, David does come and pick the girls up and takes them to school,” a well-connected source says. “And they still get together as a family for dinner and sporting events.”

How are the Beadors’ daughters handling the highly publicized divorce? A separate report published by Radar Online claims that Sophie, 16, and 13-year-old twins Stella and Adeline are “happy” about their parents splitting up. An insider alleges that the girls were so tired of seeing their mother miserable all the time, so they were glad when she finally worked up the courage to get out.

As for what’s next, Shannon is reportedly requesting full custody of the girls and grant David visitation.

David Beador moved out of the mansion a few weeks before the separation announcement was made. As a previous report by the Inquisitr revealed, David is said to be renting a condo and is already dating other women. Now that he doesn’t have to worry about putting on a front for the sake of his marriage, he has no issue with being open about it.

Although it’s disheartening that the Beadors weren’t able to fulfill the vow renewals they took just over a year ago and remain happily married, it’s admirable that they’re still making their children a priority.
