Fellow celebrities and social media users jumped to the comment section to express their thoughts and surprise from the selfie.
Shannon's Real Housewives co-star, Tamra Judge, wrote out, 'I guess I left too soon,' followed by a wide-eyed emoji.
Her other castmate, Vicki Gunvalson, typed out, 'Awe your girls will be happy,' referencing to the former couple's three daughters: Sophie, 21, as well as twins Stella and Adaline, 18.
One fan penned, 'The shock on my face when this showed up on my feed. I thought I skipped a timeline,' while another applauded the photo. 'Good to see you two co-existing. Great for your girls,' followed by a red heart emoji.
Shannon and David said 'I do' in 2000, and throughout the course of their marriage, welcomed three daughters.
However, in 2015, the reality star discovered her husband's infidelity and the pair enrolled in couple's counseling in order to patch up and save their marriage. Two years later, the pair announced their separation in October 2017.
In a statement to BravoTV.com at the time, per Us Weekly, Shannon expressed, 'After much thought and careful consideration, David and I have made the difficult decision to separate.'
'We remain partners in parenthood and are committed to raising our three daughters. This is not the future we envisioned, and we kindly ask for privacy, especially for our children, during this transitional time,' she added.

Finalized: Shannon and David promptly went through a bitter divorce and child custody battle, and the two later reached a settlement in April 2019; seen in 2016 in Hollywood
Shannon and David promptly went through a bitter divorce and child custody battle, and the two later reached a settlement in April 2019, with the Real Housewives star receiving an award of $1.4 million and also $10,000 a month for support.
However, the path to the finalization was long, and at one point, David asked the TV personality to stop drinking and stated in documents obtained by The Blast at the time that her 'behavior is detrimental to the children.'
A source told Us Weekly around the same time that her ex was purposely prolonging the divorce battle. 'David's filing is just another example of how low he can go. Shannon is frustrated and just wants this divorce to be over.'
The insider further added, 'But he is dragging it out and doing whatever he can so he doesn't have to pay her out.'
The following year in 2020, Shannon told the entertainment outlet that David still 'doesn't wanna' speak with her although a settlement had been reached. 'They love their dad,' she stated, referencing to their children.
'I want them to have a relationship with their father. So, you know, I would prefer to have more of a coparent, but he’s not interested. But we’re getting through it.'
Since their split, Shannon began to date John Janssen, but their relationship came to an end in November 2022. While talking to People in January, the Real Housewives star admitted that she was 'blindsided' by the break up.
'We were in a great place. But seven days later, when the cameras were down, it was a completely different story. He told me he was done with the relationship. And to hear what he said to me then was absolutely devastating.'

Moving on: Only a few months after Shannon and David announced their separation, the business owner went public with his budding romance with Lesley Cook, but after tying the knot in 2020, he filed for divorce in September 2022
She added, 'I was hopeful this was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I wanted it to work out. I've never loved anyone like I've loved John. But clearly, he didn't feel the same way.'
Janssen himself stated that it had been a 'super hard' decision to go forward with the split, but emphasized it was 'the right thing for' both of them.
