We always knew there isn't anything Shannon can't do. 

The RHOC mom also recently shared a photo of her Christmas decorations in her new home.


Shannon officially filed for divorce from David after 17 years of marriage on December 1 in O.C. Superior Court, Us Weekly reported earlier this week. "After much thought and careful consideration, David and I have made the difficult decision to separate," Shannon said in a statement to The Daily Dish when she first shared the news of her separation in October. "We remain partners in parenthood and are committed to raising our three daughters. This is not the future we envisioned, and we kindly ask for privacy, especially for our children, during this transitional time.”


A few days after filing for divorce, Shannon shared an inspirational message on Instagram. "Someday everything will make perfect sense," the post read. "So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason." 

Watch Shannon open up more about how she was doing in the weeks following the announcement of her separation, below.
