In love in the OC. Shannon Beador found happiness with boyfriend John Janssen after her messy divorce from ex-husband David Beador.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star and her businessman beau celebrated their first anniversary on June 21, 2020.
“One year ago, the first date @fableandspirit,” Shannon captioned a selfie of the pair via Instagram. “One year later, celebrating at the same place.

Us Weekly confirmed in July 2019 that the Bravo star had a new man in her life. A month later, Shannon confirmed to Us that the duo met through mutual friends.
“I’ve never been happier. I’m in a really great place,” she gushed to Us in August 2019. “My friends have known him for 30 years, so I didn’t have to make sure he was there for the right reasons. … He’s just a great person. I have a great connection with him.”
Shannon was previously married to David for nearly two decades. The exes, who wed in 2000, share daughters Sophie, Stella and Adeline. They announced their separation in October 2017 but didn’t file for divorce until that December. It would take nearly two years for the former couple to finalize the paperwork.
“David is dragging it out and doing whatever he can so he doesn’t have to pay her out,” an insider told Us in 2018, noting that Shannon was “frustrated” and just wanted “this divorce to be over.”
Us confirmed in April 2019 that Shannon and David’s divorce was finalized.
“A tough day that ended in celebration and I ran into this friend…” she captioned a photo with costar Gina Kirschenheiter via Instagram after the news broke.
David, who was ordered to pay Shannon $10,000 per month in combined child and spousal support payments, moved on with Lesley Cook. The duo announced their engagement in 2020.

Shannon confirmed she was “in love” with Janssen in August 2019.
“What lacked in my marriage before is I want to be part of a partnership and team. I’m looking forward to that,” she told Us after revealing she would “absolutely” get married again. ”I haven’t wanted to rush into anything. I’ve got one shot left if I want to be realistic. … I want to be certain this time that everything is gonna be good.”

Things didn’t go as planned when David met his ex-wife’s new man for the first time.
“They’ve seen each other, but David isn’t interested. I tried to introduce them, but he walked away. David walked away,” she told Us in October 2019. “I should have expected it.”

Shannon and Janssen confirmed to Us in November 2019 that her daughters get along with his kids.
“Everybody gets along and are growing closer and closer every day, and we’re all together as a group all the time,” Janssen told Us, noting that they were spending the holidays together.

Shannon shared a sweet note Janssen left for her on her 56th birthday in March 2020.
“9 months ago our journey began. The timing was bad and made no sense to either of us or to any of our friends and family,” he penned. “I was not in the right frame of mind to meet anyone and was just trying to get my balance. You were not looking for a relationship, but rather were just spending time and having fun with friends after an emotional two years of ending your marriage. But once we were introduced something inside me knew that I had to talk to you.”
He went on to gush about their “chemistry and connection.”
Janssen concluded: “You are my person; the one I was meant to be with, the one that makes me feel whole. I started falling in love with you almost immediately and my love has grown ever stronger as our time together has flown by. I find myself thinking and wondering at times if this is real, how did I get so blessed? Then I look into your beautiful eyes and know it IS real and it is how our world should be. You are such an amazing woman and you surprise me every day. I have never believed that a woman could be so loving, generous, intelligent, creative, determined, funny, fun loving, hardworking, successful, down to earth, nurturing, protective, loyal, encouraging and have my back no matter what. Then I met you; you are all of that and more. You are my best friend and the woman I can not live without.”
