Shannon Storms Beador’s journey to finding love on Bravo’s Love Hotel has been a rollercoaster. The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member fell hard for Earl “The Pearl” Thompson, but has experienced her ups and downs with him during their time in Mexico. During a recent interview with BravoTV.com, Shannon opened up about her dating life, playing coy about where they stand today.
“I am a relationship girl, but I’m not gonna lie, it’s very nice to be single and not have to worry about someone else,” she said in our exclusive chat with her. “I will honestly say, I’ve never been happier in my life than I have in the past couple of years, and I never thought that I’d be saying that.”
She continued, admitting that she wants to “maintain some independence” in her future relationships. “And that’s something that I’ve learned over the relationships that didn’t work. I still have to have a piece of me that’s still me,” she revealed.

She also wants someone who appreciates her being on RHOC. “My perfect man is someone that is confident and successful and thinks it’s super cute that I’m on this little silly show and doesn’t really want to be a part of it,” she added.

“When we were getting along, things were really good,” she added, as seen in the video above.
