David has cited “irreconcilable differences” from celebrity sweethearts as the reason for filing and interestingly listed the date of the split as September 15, which was the same date as the divorce filing.

This comes a year and a half after drama broke out between David’s ex-spouses when Shannon claimed Leslie turned down her baby present.
At the time, David and his then-wife Lesley welcomed a daughter named Anna last month and Shannon said she sent a doll and some books.

Shannon’s claim comes after Lesley denied ever having received a baby present and wrote on Insta Stories that it was “another fake story”.
During her appearance on Jeff’s show, Shannon gave her take on the situation: “Well, I didn’t want to overdo it. I wanted to be thoughtful.’
Shannon, who has three teenage daughters with David, said: “So I bought a Madeline doll and three of the hardcover books and said, ‘Congratulations on your – the birth of your child. That was the girls’ darling – Madeline was my , the girls’ darling.’
The reality TV blonde said the “small” gift was only about $75 and “I sent it with the girls to bring inside” for Lesley.

Shannon’s friend John Janssen sat next to her during the interview and supported her by saying: “I saw the gift. She sent it.’
