Lesley Beador (née Lesley Cook) is an American entrepreneur and mother of three. She grew up near Lake Tahoe and later launched her own skincare line, building a career around wellness and family values. Lesley is best known for her marriage to real-estate developer David Beador (a former cast member on Real Housewives of Orange County). For example, one widely‑circulated photo (below) shows Lesley (center) with her husband (left).

Children of Lesley Beador
Lesley has been married twice. Her first marriage was to Eriks Pukke, with whom she had two children – a son and a daughter. (Court documents later identify these children by name: Inga and Indris, from Lesley’s “previous relationship”.) After divorcing Eriks, Lesley began a relationship with David Beador.

She and David wed in October 2020. In early 2021 they welcomed a daughter, Anna Love (now age 4). A People report notes Lesley was 41 and David 60 when they faced court filings in 2025. According to those filings, Lesley and David share custody of 4‑year‑old Anna, and Lesley’s older children are Inga and Indris from her prior marriage.
Eriks Pukke: Lesley’s Ex‑Husband
Lesley’s former husband (her ex‑husband) is Eriks Pukke. (By contrast, David Beador is her current husband, not her ex.) Eriks Pukke is a California businessman in his mid‑50s (born circa 1971). He has a background in debt counseling and tech entrepreneurship. For example, U.S. government reports show Eriks worked as a manager at AmeriDebt and later became president of a debt‑relief nonprofit called Debticated.
His own profile lists him as CEO of software/marketing startups Fantastech and Lead Stream. Eriks and Lesley had two children together – a son and a daughter – but those children do not carry David Beador’s last name. Eriks otherwise keeps a low public profile. Notably, in late 2022 he obtained a temporary restraining order against David Beador in the couple’s divorce proceedings. Sources do not list any public estimate of Eriks Pukke’s net worth, and he is not known for any high‑profile business beyond his credit‑counseling work.
David Beador: Current Husband (Not Ex)
For clarity, David Beador (born 1965) is Lesley’s current husband, not an ex‑husband. David Beador is a civil engineer and entrepreneur. He founded Beador Construction Inc. (a highway and infrastructure contractor) and has appeared on RHOC. Celebrity finance sources estimate David’s net worth around $20 million.
He was previously married to RHOC star Shannon Storms Beador, and they share three children (a daughter, Sophie, born 2002, and twins Adeline and Stella born 2004). David and Lesley married in October 2020 and had daughter Anna in 2021.
By 2022 their marriage began to break down: David filed for divorce in September 2022 (later dismissed), and Lesley filed again in mid‑2023. During these proceedings, both parties sought restraining orders against one another.
Lesley Beador’s ex‑husband is Eriks Pukke, not David Beador. Eriks Pukke is a California businessman (formerly in debt counseling) who fathered her two older children. David Beador, by contrast, is her current estranged husband (60 years old), founder of a construction firm, and has an estimated net worth of ~$20M. This clarifies the confusion – Lesley’s “ex” refers to Eriks Pukke, while David is the one she married after divorcing Eriks.
