Shannon Beador’s Husband David Admits Wishing ‘Things Were a Lot Better’ a Year After Their Vow Renewal

People.com:

Shannon and David Beador are having a much-needed heart-to-heart about their marriage.

Last year, the 53-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star celebrated her birthday with a surprise party and vow renewal ceremony thrown by her husband David at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe – where the couple originally said “I do” 16 years prior and where David had first proposed to her on her birthday.

The renewal was an emotional event, which followed the work the couple put into repairing their marriage in the wake of David’s affair.

“Last year on my birthday my husband gave me the greatest gift of all — something that I didn’t think would ever happen in our relationship,” Shannon says in a preview of Monday’s upcoming RHOC episode, referencing their 2016 vow renewal.

But a year later, it appears the couple, who shares daughters Sophie, Stella and Adeline, still has a ways to go in strengthening their relationship.

“So where do you think we stand a year later?” Shannon asks David while at home on the couch.

“To be honest, I wish things were a little bit better with us — a lot better with us,” he candidly tells her. “I think the last six months have been very stressful for you and I don’t do well when you’re very stressed ’cause I essentially pull away when you’re stressed.”

“Yeah, I’m stressed about Vicki because I didn’t know how her allegation, if it was going to come out and how it would be received,” she admits to him.
