They added, “I think Shannon tried to get over Jamea by going on MAFS, but he had second thoughts as soon as he married Caitlin.
“He was upset after the wedding and wanted out right away.”
“Shan and Jamea kept in contact for the sake of [their daughter] Milli and he would try to Facetime her every day,” the source added.
“He had planned to put in one hundred per cent into his relationship with Caitlin, but just couldn’t because he was still invested in Jamea,” the source concluded.
