Shannon Storms Beador Spills on the “Super Sweet” Man She’s Dating After John Janssen Split

Shannon Storms Beador is dipping her toes back into the dating pool following her recent split from John Janssen.

The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member revealed as much during the March 24 episode of Jeff Lewis Live before dishing on one particular suitor that Jeff said he had already met. “Shannon had a date last night,” the Radio Andy host teased. “We’re not gonna say the name, but she brought a gentleman caller with her to dinner [and] I liked him a lot.”

Shannon described the mystery man as “very handsome” and “super, super sweet.” Not only that, but he’s also “super fit,” she added, “and that’s a good influence for me.”

They were apparently introduced by one of her “core four” friends, and although she was admittedly hesitant to go on the date, it sounds like Shannon found the night to be a success. As she put it, “I thought, ‘OK, it’s a dinner. Like, I’m not gonna like this guy,’ but he’s super sweet.”

The date comes just less than five months since Shannon and John split. Reflecting on their breakup, as well as her divorce from David Beador, she said, “When David and I broke up, I stayed home for seven months. I didn’t go out to dinner, I didn’t do anything. And I thought, ‘OK, John and I had broken up probably almost three months before it became public.’ So my mom goes, ‘Just go out to dinner with the guy.’ And I did.”

Now, they already have plans to see each other again. “I’m gonna see him tomorrow. We’re gonna go to dinner with my core three,” Shannon said. ”The four couldn’t make it, so [it’s] the three of us.”

That’s not all the two have planned, though. Shannon is headed to Cabo for an eight-day vacation that she and John had initially booked together, and while she’ll mostly be relaxing on her own, she said that her new man is set to join her “for part of it.”

As Shannon previously revealed, she was “blindsided” by her and John’s breakup, especially considering that they “were in a great place.” What’s more, John had apparently told Shannon he was ready to take their relationship to “the next level.”
