Shannon Beador is friendly with John Janssen — but not that friendly.
Pvnew caught up with the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Tuesday night ahead of “An Evening with the Tres Amigas,” which she co-hosted at the Irvine Improv alongside Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson.
“John, is there any way that you can get us three shots?” Judge asked Janssen, who was also backstage.
“Casamigos!” Beador shouted as her former flame obliged, before she quickly clarified to us, “We’re not back together. We’re super, super friendly. It’s just easier to be supportive.”
And supportive he is. “You guys want two each?” he asked as he popped his head back into the trio’s dressing room, prompting them to yell back in unison, “One!”
Pivoting back to our conversation, Beador, 59, explained, “We didn’t speak for six months, but we’re friendly right now, and I’d like to keep it that way. We’ll see how it goes. He’s very supportive.”
Judge, 55, interrupted to ask whether their current arrangement included “touching pink parts,” but Beador insisted that was not the case.
Judge responded by flashing us a skeptical smirk and later telling the audience of their sold-out show that she believes it’s only a matter of time before the exes reconcile romantically.
However, Beador asserted just a few weeks ago that she and Janssen were “never going to get back together.”
At the time, she told us that the insurance broker had dumped her in November 2022 after nearly four years of dating due to constant “bickering” that they just “couldn’t get past.”
Beador did not publicize the split until January, which she said afforded her three months to “let it sink in before people knew.”
In between the pair’s breakup and establishing a platonic relationship, the mother of three said she dated an unnamed fellow “for four months.”
As for why the mystery duo called it quits, Beador simply said they were “not right for each other.”
During our recent chat, Beador shared that she doesn’t have “a man in [her] life right now,” and while she is “always” open to the possibility, she isn’t actively looking.
“I’m kind of liking the idea of spending time on my own and focusing on reinventing myself,” she told us.
The Bravolebrity has also recently made strides in establishing a cordial co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband, David Beador, with whom she shares daughters Sophie, 22, and 19-year-old twins Stella and Adeline.
