Shannon Beador Changes Her Name Amid New Boyfriend Rumors
July 23 2018, Updated 4:53 p.m. ET
Shannon Beador looks to be in good spirits months after splitting from her ex-husband David... so much so that she changed her Instagram to include her maiden name amid new boyfriend rumors!
Shannon appeared on Watch What Happens Live last week to reveal that she hasn't met David's new girlfriend yet, although her daughters have. Her mood throughout the interview with fellow RHOC star Tamra Judge seemed to be upbeat about where she is now with him, even though she claimed that "there's a lot of anger on one side"... meaning his.
Shannon also said that she wasn't dating anyone serious, even though Tamra implied that she had a date later on that night (even joking that she got a bikini wax for it!) Turns out that Tamra may have been telling the truth, as Radar Online revealed the exclusive about her new man over the weekend.
His name is Scot Matteson, and he's described as a wealthy widower and a co-founder of a real estate company called Centurion Partners. She first posted an intimate photo with him on Friday.

They spent quite a lot of time together during her trip to The Big Apple, as she shared photos of them with some friends at a rooftop party and going to see the show Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway. As if that wasn't enough, Scot also attended Shannon's daughter Sophie's 17th birthday party over the weekend!
Did this blossoming relationship inspired Shannon to change her name on Instagram? Although her official IG handle is still @shannonbeador, the headline now includes her maiden name of Shannon Storms Beador. Could she be dropped her husband's last name soon then?
