Why did 'RHOC' couple Shannon Beador and John Janssen split?
Shannon and her ex John were together for three and a half years. Things went south between the ex-couple after 'RHOC' Season 17 filming wrapped. People reports Shannon claiming that she "was blindsided by the breakup."
She claimed, "All I can do is repeat in my head what he said to me while we were filming. We were in a great place. But seven days later, when the cameras were down, it was a completely different story. He told me he was done with the relationship. And to hear what he said to me then was absolutely devastating."
Shannon was hopeful to spend her remaining life with John. She indeed wanted things to work out between them. She said, "I've never loved anyone like I've loved John. But clearly, he didn't feel the same way."
The relationship came to an end after John came to the conclusion that it was not a "forever" thing. He said, "It doesn't make sense to be together if you don't believe in it. Therefore, both parted ways for the better.
