The filing does not come as a surprise as they have not been getting along for a while and their relationship did not get better during their separation.

The crumbling off their marriage was seen on her reality TV show.

He had admitted that he'd been unfaithful to her during season 10; on season 11 they renewed their vows. But still there were problems.

During the season 12 reunion show of RHOC she broke down in tears when she said it was David, not her, who wanted the marriage to end.

'It’s not what I wanted and it’s been really, really hard,' she said.

'We went on a trip to Hawaii, which I kind of hoped would bring everything together, but he left the trip early. And when I came home, he said, "We’re done,"' she told the reunion host Andy Cohen.

'I said to David, when he told me it was over, "What happened? We had a couple of amazing years." And he goes, "We had a couple good months." It was just a knife in the heart.'

She has been very frank with her fans about her struggle to lose weight and how the stress from her bad marriage made her eat more.

She told People two months ago: 'It’s heartbreaking for me and my daughters that this is the road that had to be taken but it’s the only way.

'I felt alone in my marriage. You can do what you can to keep your family together, but you have to have willing parties.

'You need two people to make a marriage work, and that just wasn’t happening in our relationship.'

Their daughters are Sophie, 15, and 12-year-old twins Stella and Adeline.

Last week Shannon looked upbeat as she posted a workout photo to Instagram.

Her caption read: 'After a Thanksgiving weekend filled with eating, I’m ready to get back on track!'

She then plugged a workout tool: 'I’m wearing my Keke’s Sweat Belt by @waistedbykeke today and had to share because I think it really does help. I’m finding that it strengthens my core and helps with my posture—which are both great motivators! Evidently it reduces your waist size when combined with healthy eating and exercise.'
