Shannon gave an update on how she's been doing since sharing the news of her separation from David in late October during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen earlier this month. "When we filmed the reunion, we had been separated for five weeks, and there was a part of me that thought that getting it out there would be a sense of relief, but in actuality, it made it official and it made it real. So I've been having good days and bad days. Like last week I saw [David] took his wedding ring off, and that's inevitable, but it's just making the adjustment," Shannon shared. "It's all good. It's all good. This had to happen. And good times are ahead."
