David Beador and Lesley Beadorare heading to divorce court, less than two years after they were at the altar.
On Thursday, David — the ex-husband ofReal Housewives of Orange CountystarShannon Beador— filed for divorce from wife Lesley Beador, the woman he began dating not long after his split from Shannon.
The now-estranged couple married on Oct. 15, 2020 — 23 months to date of the day David listed as their date of separation (Sept. 15, 2022).
Together they share 19-month-old daughter Anna Love Beador, who was born on Feb. 5, 2021. Per the documents, David is seeking joint physical and legal custody.
As for property, the pair split their time between Orange County and Park City, Utah, where David also has a home. However, “the full nature and extent of Petitioner’s separate property is to be determined at time of trial or settlement,” the documents state. “Given the very short term marriage, there are nominal community property assets and debts. There is a Prenuptial Agreement effective Oct. 9, 2020 that controls.”
