Shannon Storms Beador Is Dating Again! Gina & Emily Spill on Her Mystery "Beau"
The Real Housewives of Orange County's Shannon Storms Beador is off the market, according to her RHOC cast members.
Shannon Storms Beador is officially dating again! The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member dealt with the aftermath of her breakup with her ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, in Season 18. But now, Shannon is doing very well and has moved on as she heads back into the dating world. At least, that's what her RHOC cast members, Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson, are revealing.
In a recent interview, Emily told Us Weekly that Shannon now seems "happy" again. Gina added, "She is going on some dates. I didn't meet him, but I think [Emily] might have met a beau."
"He seems lovely and nonlitigious," Emily confirmed, referring to the now-settled lawsuit between Shannon and John. "He didn't show up with papers to serve her so I feel like that's a great first step."
"She seems great," Emily continued. "I saw her the other night. I had dinner at her house. She seemed happy and I think she's glad that it's over."
Although Shannon does have a new "beau" in her life right now, she will always make time for main "man" — her beloved golden retriever, Archie.
Shannon Storms Beador says she's a "relationship girl"
It's great that Shannon is finally ready to jump in the dating pool again. Although she told People in July that she's a "relationship girl," she admitted at the time that she wasn't ready to date anyone.
"I haven't given up on love at all," she told the magazine at the time. "I still have the dream to be in a partnership with somebody. I don't know if I've ever really had that. So we'll see."
Five months later, she is now singing a different tune as she heads back out on dates.
Where Shannon Storms Beador stands after RHOC Season 18
Shannon's post-RHOC Season 18 finale update speaks for itself — she is moving on and focusing on being the best mother to her three adult daughters. When the finale aired on Oct. 31, her update read: "Shannon's girls are thriving in NYC and Paris. Shannon is slowly entering the dating pool, and although Alexis may have taken her problem...one still remains with the unsettled lawsuit."
But now, the lawsuit has finally been settled, and it seems like Shannon has fully emersed herself into the dating pool. She was also recently reunited with two out of three of her daughters on Thanksgiving when she roasted a turkey for the very first time. She is also very excited for Christmas when her daughter, Stella Beador, returns home while on break from studying abroad in Paris.
"Happy Thanksgiving from the Storms/Beador family!" Shannon wrote in the caption of a family photo from Thanksgiving, posted to her Instagram account. "Beyond grateful for my family and cannot wait to have Stella home for Christmas!"
