Lesley Beador claims David withdrew divorce petition, but court denies

Lesley Beador claims her husband, David Beador, has withdrawn his divorce petition after filing the paperwork last week.

But a public information officer for the Superior Court of California in Orange County tells Page Six there hasn’t been any requests to dismiss “at this time.”

The spokesperson also verified on Wednesday that no request was in queue to be filed as there was also no evidence of the alleged dismissal request in the case docket, per online records.

Lesley, 38, posted a photo of her and David, 57, to her Instagram Stories Wednesday and captioned it, “My husband filed a request for dismissal a few days ago. Now back to your regular programming.”

David does not have social media, so he has not directly addressed the claims himself.

Neither he or his attorney immediately returned Page Six’s request for comment on whether he plans to file a dismissal or told Lesley that he did.

Meanwhile, Lesley has also not responded to Page Six’s request for comment on the discrepancy between what her Instagram Story says and what the court told us.

David filed a petition to divorce Lesley on Sept. 15, citing irreconcilable differences, according to court records obtained by Page Six.

The construction business owner had only been married to his new wife for 23 months.

He was previously married to “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Shannon Beador, with whom he shares three daughters: Sophie, 20, and 18-year-old twin daughters Stella and Adeline.

David’s first marriage failed after he cheated on Shannon, 58, which he admitted on the hit Bravo series. Their divorce was finalized in 2019 after nearly two decades of marriage.

David then met Lesley and the pair wed in October 2020. They welcomed their own daughter, Anna Love, in February 2021.

The former reality TV husband is seeking joint legal and physical custody of his youngest daughter, according to court records.

The date of separation was listed as Sept. 15 — the same day David filed — so it is unclear if he has had a change of heart.
