David, 54, brought girlfriend Lesley, 34, to Mastro's Ocean Club in Newport Beach, Calif. Accompanying the duo were Shannon and David's daughters — Sophie, 16, as well as her twin sisters Stella and Adeline, 14.
According to an onlooker, the very tan daddy David clearly did not look too happy. And for good reason: David and wife Shannon, 54, are in the midst of a bitter divorce.
However, David's teen daughters seemed happy to be out with their father and his lady.
In this snap, the girls relaxed outside the eatery with Lesley.
On the season 14 premiere of RHOC, which aired July 16, Shannon's best friend Tamra Judge claimed that David and Lesley started talking in October, 2017 — while he was still together with wife of 17 years Shannon.
When RadarOnline.com spoke exclusively to Lesley, she adamantly denied Tamra's claims, insisting that she and David did not meet until December, months after he moved out of the home he shared with Shannon.
"Tamra lied about us meeting in October," mother of two Lesley told RadarOnline.com.
"I assume that she did this to create more drama and bring in viewers, but it is 2018 and this type of bullying needs to stop," Lesley fumed.
