David Beador and his estranged wife appear to have made amends despite their divorce drama.

Lesley Beador posted an Instagram carousel Tuesday of highlights from a recent vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leading with a photo of her and her estranged husband holding each other close.

The on-again, off-again couple can be seen grinning as Lesley rests her hand on David’s chest.

“L👀k who I bumped into at Yellowstone National Park. My husband!” she captioned the post on her private account, which also included pictures of her children.

Lesley added various hashtags such as #MomLife and #Vaca but made sure to turn off comments.

However, that didn’t stop Bravo viewers from expressing their confusion underneath a fan account’s screenshot of the image.

“Ring still on, so…looking for headlines? They’re back and forth more than a tennis match,” commented one fan.

“The picture of dysfunctional!” wrote another.

“God they are disgusting – unhinged!” added a third.

They also requested restraining orders against each other. lesleybeador/Instagram

Page Six has reached out to Lesley for comment.

David, 58, and Lesley dated for a couple of years before tying the knot in October 2020 while she was pregnant with their first child together. They welcomed their daughter, Anna, in February 2021.

However, the newlywed bliss was short-lived, as David, who was previously married to “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Shannon Beador, filed for divorce from Lesley nearly two years after saying “I do.”

The duo briefly reconciled, so David filed to dismiss the divorce a month later, but both Lesley and David re-filed for divorce a couple of months later.

The situation worsened in June when the estranged couple sought out restraining orders against each other.

Lesley alleged that David had physically “abused” not only her but also her children and their pets, also claiming he “destroyed” her property and “threatened” her.

David, meanwhile, claimed Lesley’s request was merely “retaliatory” as he had filed his a week before she did and requested legal and physical custody of Anna.

“Divorcing a narcissist is never easy. It’s messy,” Lesley told Page Six in a statement at the time.

“But worth the peace my family now feels at home. We are no longer walking on eggshells and waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under us.”
