‘We were in a great place. But seven days later, when the cameras were off, it was a completely different story,” she said. People. She told me that she was done with the relationship. And hearing what she said to me then was absolutely devastating.

The mother-of-three said wistfully: “I’ve never loved anyone else in my life.”

I was hoping this was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I wanted it to work. I have never loved anyone the way I have loved John. But clearly, he didn’t feel the same way,” he continued.

As for how Janssen feels, he told the outlet that making the decision to leave him was a “super difficult” decision.

“It hurt a lot,” he says. ‘It’s sad because I love Shannon so much. I have loved her more deeply than any other woman in my life. She is unique; so funny, generous, full of life and adventurous,’ she said.

Janssen called their connection “unlike anything” she’s “had.”

‘I know that as long as I live, I will never find anyone like her again. But that doesn’t mean we’re meant for each other for the rest of our lives,” said the vice president of an insurance company called Wood Gutmann & Bogart.

“I have never loved anyone else in my life,” the mother of three said of her ex.

The businessman went on to make it clear that the “last thing” he “wanted to do was hurt Shannon” but felt their break up was “the right thing for” both of them.

We are two people who love each other very much, but love is not always enough. And even though I know Shannon sees it as her saying things to her that she never meant to say, I hope she can see that there’s no bad person here,” she added.

Janssen concluded, “They’re two really good people who couldn’t make it work.”

As for how Janssen feels, he told the outlet that making the decision to leave him was a “super difficult” decision (pictured October 2022).

Shannon and Janssen’s relationship began after the end of their 17-year marriage with divorce from David Beador.

While speaking about moving on with Janssen, whom she met through mutual friends, in 2019, Shannon said: “I’ve never been happier.” I’m in a really cool place.

“My friends have known him for 30 years, so I didn’t have to make sure he was there for the right reasons,” he said. ‘What was missing from my marriage before is that I want to be part of a partnership and a team. I’m looking forward to.’
