This Tuesday, Lesley Beador posted on her Instagram that she’s filing for divorce from RHOC alum and entrepreneur, David. She claimed that it’s not what she expected, but she feels it’s what’s best for her. The duo started dating shortly after David separated from his RHOC wife, Shannon Beador.

At the time, sources disclosed that Shannon was awestruck by Lesley and David’s relationship. It came to light four months after their divorce and more than 17 years of marriage. David asked Lesley to marry him nine months after he and Shannon reached a divorce settlement.

Lesley documented much of her relationship with David on Instagram. She even made headlines on Nov. 9, 2019, when she circulated a nude photo of herself and the 57-year-old on social media.

They were together for 23 months before David filed for divorce earlier this month. Per PEOPLE, he cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split in the court documents. David also sought joint and legal custody of their 19-month-old daughter, Anna Love Beador.

Interestingly, some days after filing for divorce from his wife, the construction company owner withdrew the petition to end his marriage. Lesley Beador posted it on her private Instagram before filing for divorce a week later.

Lesley Beador Says Filing For Divorce Is Better

Lesley Beador announced on her private Instagram account that filing for divorce is best for her. A throwback snap of herself was included in her post.

She went on to state that she values herself and her kids. The actress was thankful for her tremendous circle of friends and family who support her. The mother of two is looking forward to a bright and happy future with my beautiful kiddos.

Fans believe that David Beador, a Bravo star, should have expected Lesley’s behavior after she rejected a friendly gift from Shannon after childbirth.
