Shortly after, in July 2018, Shannon revealed to Us that watching her ex jump into a new relationship almost immediately after their marriage was over was painful for her to watch. “It hurt when I first found out, just the way that I found out because they were doing this public, Instagram, childish nonsense,” the Bravo star explained. “I knew I was going to be replaced and that’s fine … It could be any girl, it’s just the timeframe, that’s all.”

David and Shannon announced their split in a statement to BravoTV in October 2017 saying, “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 This is not the future we envisioned, and we kindly ask for privacy, especially for our children, during this transitional period.”
