A source close to the couple told People Shannon didn’t see the relationship coming, adding, “It’s disgusting and cruel that David would be putting this out so publicly as their divorce is not yet finalized and they share three daughters together. He’s always been selfish and is clearly not thinking about how this will affect his children.”
The couple, whose marital roles played out on episodes of the hit Bravo reality show, announced their separation after a 17-year marriage last October. Shannon officially filed for divorce in December.

Excited to start 2018 with my girls and see where life takes us! ❤️ Wishing everyone a blessed year! Here’s to new beginnings! 🥂
