Shannon and David Beador , split in 2017 after seventeen years of marriage amid David’s cheating scandal. Very quickly after their separation, his newest batshit crazy girlfriend (he has a type), Lesley Cook immediately started talking about getting married. It seems David Beador is engaged.
So, that day may in fact finally be moving closer. With the divorce finally completed in 2019, it seems David has popped the question. Yesterday, Lesley Cook announced her engagement on her Instagram. That was made private after lots of trolling by Shannon fans and other RHOC fans.
Holding up a photo of what can only be described as the world’s gaudiest engagement ring ever, Lesley captioned the photo with “Looking forward to eternity with my love. I LOVE YOU MY LOVE!”
David Beador Is Engaged To Lesley Cook
The newly engaged couple appears to be in Miami at the Fontainebleau Hotel for the Superbowl. I suppose the are San Francisco 49ers fans.
In another photo, Lesley posts, “Today I said YES to the man of my dreams, You complete me!!!” Gag me with a spoon.
Lesley most likely took her social media private (and David seems to have taken his down) after several embarrassing posts.
I previously posted this in March of 2018:
So while David is stating under oath that the girls are not spending time with him, the idiot new girlfriend Lesley is giving interviews about what a great hands-on father David is and how he takes the kids to school every day and is always with them. She’s also been low-key shading Shannon on her Instagram with memes about how adults accept that the relationship was not meant to be or some crap.
Then there was the meltdown at Wal-Mart that you just have to see here. And lets not forget their naked photos they posted on Instagram on a trip to Rome. Naked. On Instagram.
I’d like to make fun of David for being unable to live without a woman, but Shannon has been dating too. She did not however move straight out of the marital home and in with the other woman.
Shannon has been dating John Janssen, since last summer. It is the first guy Shannon has dated more than casually. It is her first boyfriend since the divorce.
That’s the Tea. Can we talk about that ring now? Because for me that is the most important part.
P.S. I hear there are openings for housewives in RHOC!
ADMIN NOTE: Project Runway is ready to post except that NBCu has not posted the runway photos yet. It will be up as soon as they release the photos.
I just hope Shannon’s all right, though I suspect she most likely is, seeing that she’s already found her own new significant other.
For all David’s mocking of Shannon and her “crazy” ways, it feels like poetic justice that he and his new fiance can’t stop reveling in the batshit all over social media.
I’m pretty sure it will still upset and unsettle her for a while (speaking from experience and I wouldn’t trade my guy for anyone).
If I was in her shoes, the only unsettling part would be knowing that idiot woman will be making a point of calling herself a mother to my kids. If Lesley was a decent person, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for the kids to have a step mom, but Lesley is not a good person. She wants to hurt Shannon by throwing her relationship with the kids in Shannon’s face, and she wants to secure David’s money. She found an easy mark finally. I believe she’s a regular gold digger who’s been looking for a dude with some money for some time.
The girls are old enough to just tolerate Lesley. The oldest one doesn’t see her much at all. She isn’t obligated to visit with David and doesn’t seem like she spends too much time there.
I would hope that none of the girls visit him or speak to Lesley
That ring looks like he bought it at an auction of Liberace possessions.
Hahahaha omg yes exactly
That might make me like it. I’m going to believe he got it on QVC.
Not a fan of this ring. But how do these reality people move on so quickly after a divorce? It seems like these people split and then in serious relationships so soon after. Even the guy Shannon is seeing now is her 3rd boyfriend after the divorce, albeit first serious one. I need tips, takes me forever to move on after a breakup. I can’t even imagine a 20 year marriage
I think that when people move on quickly it shows that the marriage was probably over long before the divorce.
I think David was checked out of his marriage years ago. He should of been a man and gotten divorced years ago instead of being a cheating coward.
God I never liked him he had no interest in Shannon and made her batshit crazy with his flippant attitude!! I’m so glad she has moved on she seems so happy! I reckon David’s new girl is absolutely crazy and I hope I’m right! Karma and all 😍😍😍
I think with some of them, especially David & Shannon, their marriages were virtually over before they started working on their Housewives shows.
Yeah theirs definitely was I agree 👍
I wonder if Lesley will post nude photos of their honeymoon?
Probably.
Naked & Afraid.
The ring is HORRIBLE! Yes, it’s large, (I like large) but yikes its ugly! I like a nice solitaire w/maybe baguettes on either side. I just rewatched the Walmart video, many happy wishes to the both of them, giggle.
Let me explain this trend in ugly rings. Guy buys small round diamond then surrounds it with all the little chips and diamond dust on the floor left from cutting small round diamond. Voila, super bowl engagement ring meant to look expensive!
The center stone appears round and quite a large round cut, not my favorite cut but, hard to say, I can’t zoom great but that alone would be great, pair with a nice wedding band with or without diamonds….eventually.
I hear you on the diamond dust! Lol, voila! Superbowl engagement ring! This particular one is quite fugly imo.
I’m not sure that “center stone” is a solitaire. Sometimes in those really fugly rings there is just a bunch of little stones in the center tryna look like one stone.I don’t see any decent jeweler putting all those chips and pebbles on the band if there was a decent sized center stone.
I am in the minority, but I hope David is happy. We did not see everything between Shannon & David. Of course the affair was unforgivable, but what about the rest of their lives? Did he really even want to be on RHOC? But I also think Shannon has grown and has much more confidence. Don’t beat me up!!
Hello David or Leslie….stop. You are douchebags.
Yup, that happens too! I have a feeling David could afford a decent high quality stone. Makes me wonder if she picked this out…I mean, umm, I question her taste.
Heeeeelarious and accurate!
I hope he and his mullet are very happy.
Ha! First thing I noticed too.
Ugh that mullet is the worrrrst.
If David is happy, the girls are happy. That matters. Shannon and David married fairly young. They are different people now. Shannon can be happy on her own now. That’s ALMOST worth the heartache, to know YOU are OK. If only she would quit shrieking.
Re: Openings in OC. Are you implying how FUN it would be to have the new Mrs. Beador as a new HW? Because we need more crazy. Bwahahaha.
Shannon and David were pushing forty when they got married.
She looks like a young version of Shannon, how creepy. The ring screams look at me, look how expensive my ring “looks” lol. That crap on her finger looks gaudy like costume jewelry off some low budget qvc channel.
I’m also in the minority that I hope they are happy. They are all adults and David and Shannon are divorced and both have moved on.
I also don’t think the ring is ugly. I imagine it was what she wanted.
I was with you for the whole let’s just let everyone be happy part. But girlfriend, you know that ring is fugly. Come on now.
Ha! Girl you know I’m a southerner and like everything pageant gaudy!
I am all for big hair and rings you can see from across the street. 🙂 But I hate all the “diamond chips” crap.
Why did she post a picture of THAT? It is the gaudiest, fugliest ring I have ever seen. I like a round diamond. I have seen a round diamond on a single band, or between 2 diamond bands, but this looks like Tinkerbell threw up pixie dust on a cigar band.
OMG stop! I just snorted! Lol
I just cannot even.
His Wal-Mart Shopping / shoplifting fiancé with anger issues.
His stringy mullet of graying hair with 3lbs of 90s hair gel
The pants-around-the-ankles nude pics with his visible ass zits and her off kilter Breast implants.
And now this Jewelry Television 5 Easy payments lab grown diamond engagement cluster ring.
What’s next ?
They give it all up to travel the US in yoga pants and a remodeled 1984 school bus, looking for the world’s best deep fried chicken gizzards and young women to join their new family??
Man, I must be way too vaccinated to fully appreciate this guy.
@Ti Chee said what i wanted to say, but only much, much better than i could have done! LOL!!!
Ti Chee, you are my hero!
Sorry but, I feel like he is having a midlife crisis.
I can’t trust a woman that would let the man she loves exit the home day after day sporting a greasy thinning mullet.
Lesley is totally batshit, I hope karma well and truly kicks his ass!
I am telling you, he has a type. History will repeat itself, It’s about time for her to add in some menopausal crazy. We have all seen he doesn’t handle that well…
Fingers crossed haha!
Big diamond is similar to a savings account he can’t touch.Gifts are not included in marital assets. That is why I believe all women should aim for one even if they seldom wear it.
Large Emeralds, Rubies and Sapphires are by FAR rarer and more valuable than any large gaudy diamond stone (think Princess Diana’s Sapphire ring now resting on Princess Kate’s finger).
I watched a PBS documentary on the rarity and value of precious gems. Diamonds are fairly common yet are brilliantly marketed as being rarer than they are. They came into being status symbols only in the 20th century after some brilliant marketing moves by New York diamond diamond brokers & jewelers. Before that, women of wealth wore large gems of color. Diamonds were viewed as decoration for the feature stone.
If any reality star wants to impress me, she needs to sport some color on her finger. This ring is butt ugly and made up mostly of diamond chips that truly are waste from cutting.
I hate him. PERIOD. She looks like 50 miles of bad road. I don’t care if they are happy…maybe I am an awful person. So be it.
You can always sit next to me….errrrrr…. wherever we end up. 🙂
🙂
I hate him too- and you are not a bad person, we can hang out
That ring looks like it comes from the mall kiosk that sells off-brand Swarovski Elements.
I also think Lesley’s insta is private because David is trying to downsize his alimony payments to Shannon, and the first three of her stories are Liberace Ring, Fendi shopping spree and new McLaren sports car before going to the VIP sky box at the Superbowl. He’s not pinching any pennies with this crazy.
