When Shannon Storms Beador’s daughter Sophie Beador went through a painful breakup earlier this year, she knew exactly where to turn to help ease her heartache.
As seen on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19, Episode 9, Sophie jetted from New York City back home to the West Coast, where Shannon invited the 24-year-old to join her and her castmates at Jennifer Pedranti’s beach day.
“Sophie did meet a guy, and she really started to fall for him,” a choked-up Shannon debriefed the group, prior to her daughter’s arrival. “Last night, he ended it. And she was in tears. So, she flew in for the weekend.”
The mini getaway seems to be just what Sophie needed, according to an update Shannon provided on The Real Housewives of Orange County After Show.
“Sophie’s fine after the breakup,” the mom of three shared in the above clip. “It’s just the initial sadness. … And she understands, like, now is not the time to be in a relationship.”
Citing Sophie’s earlier split from her longtime boyfriend, Reese, Shannon continued, “Why jump back into another [relationship]? So, she’s good. She’s having fun.”

How the RHOC cast supported Shannon Beador’s daughter Sophie post-breakup
According to Shannon, her other two daughters, 21-year-old twins Stella and Adeline Beador, gave Sophie a “hard time” about running “home to Mommy,” though she was more than happy to provide that safe space.Â
On the other hand, the RHOC cast — also including Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, and Gretchen Rossi — rallied to support and cheer up Sophie, even going so far as to share their own worst breakup stories.

“Sophie felt a lot of love when we all sat down around the table and made her feel better,” Shannon added on the After Show. “And I think it was really sweet.”
During RHOC‘s Sept. 4 episode, Shannon also reassured her daughter, “Someday, Sophie, you’re gonna sit at a table and you’re gonna laugh about your breakup story.”Â
As Gretchen chimed in, “And God has something so much better for you.”Â
Shannon Beador shares her best dating advice
Shannon’s RHOC Season 19 journey, meanwhile, has been marked by an embrace of her life as a single woman — but she still knows what hard-earned dating advice she would give her younger self.
“Number one is pay attention to red flags,” she revealed on the After Show. “When you’re young, you think that everything is gonna work out.”
When a producer asked if she would ever go visit Sophie after her own bad breakup, Shannon replied, “Look, I’m not having a bad breakup again. And I’m gonna proceed with caution. If the red flags are waving, I’m gonna end it so that it isn’t a bad breakup, you know? But, of course, any excuse I have to go visit the kids, I’ll do it.”
Eventually, she may not have as far to travel for those visits, either.
Commenting on a potential move to the East Coast, Shannon said, “We spoke about it a little bit ago when we were all together, that maybe it would be nice to have a place here, where I live, but then spend time back east, too.”
