Lesley Beador is divorcing David Beador … again. Meanwhile, David’s previous wife, Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador, is likely off somewhere shaking her head, counting her ever-protective lemons. That said, David and Lesley have filed before, TIMES FIVE.
This is the fifth divorce filing between David and Lesley Beador

As seen on RHOC, David and Shannon separated in 2017. Two years later, they finalized their divorce. But somewhere in between, David started dating Lesley. The couple went on to tie the knot in 2020, and in 2021, they welcomed their daughter, Anna, to the world.
Then, in 2022, David filed for divorce. He recinded his filing, only to file again in 2023. After that, Lesley took over this task. She filed for divorce in 2024, and then dismissed her filing, only to have her man refile to vacate their marriage in 2025.
All four of these filings were eventually dismissed. But here comes 2026. And, right on cue, Lesley’s just filed … again. According to court documents read by TMZ, Lesley’s outta here (for now).
In her latest filing, Lesley asked for legal and physical custody of their five-year-old daughter. However, she did graciously tick the visitation box for David. That said, Lesley is also seeking spousal support from David. But she’s not up for paying this man anything, so she also wants the courts to block any spousal support awards made to David.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is streaming on Peacock.
