RHOC’s Shannon Beador and John Janssen Break Up After 3 Years

“The last thing I wanted to do is hurt Shannon, but I do think I did the right thing for the both of us,” he continued. “We’re two people who love each other very much, but love is not always enough. And while I know Shannon sees it as I’ve said things to her I never meant, I hope she’ll be able to see that there’s no bad person here. It’s two really good people who couldn’t make it work.”

Beador—who shares three daughters, Sophie, 21, and twins Stella and Adeline, 18, with ex-husband David Beador—says she’s trying to move on from the recent heartbreak.

“The holidays were very, very difficult,” she said. “I couldn’t believe he wasn’t here, and there would be days I would just cry myself to sleep. But it’s a new year, and I’m ready for a fresh start.”
