After less than a year of dating, Alexis Bellino and her boyfriend John Janssen got engaged.
Announcing the exciting news on Wednesday, August 28, Bellino, 47, said via Instagram, “On Cloud 9,” Bellino, 47, wrote on Instagram on Wednesday, August 28. “Every second we’ve had together is a treasure. I adore you and the amazing life we are creating together. And the response is a resounding “yes.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County star wrote, “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love,” as she quoted from 1 Corinthians 13:13 in her post’s conclusion. Love, however, is the greatest of these. #giftfrommym.
A picture of the couple grinning at one another while Bellino flaunted her diamond sparkler for the camera was posted alongside the announcement of the proposal.
Additionally, she posted a number of videos on her Instagram Stories showing the couple celebrating their ninth month anniversary with a romantic retreat at a remote ranch.
Bellino was married to her now-ex-husband Jim Bellino when fans first got to know her during RHOC season 4. The former couple divorced in 2018 after getting married in 2005.
Three children together include the 18-year-old son James and the 16-year-old twins Miles and Mackenna. Bellino returned for the July debut of season 18, however she left the Bravo program after season 8.
In contrast, Janssen and Shannon Beador, Bellino’s fellow RHOC costar, have a lengthy history together. The couple had intermittent relationships from June 2019 till November 2022.
Rumors of a romance between Bellino and Janssen initially surfaced in December 2023, following their introduction by mutual acquaintances the month before. At the DirecTV Oscars Viewing Party in Los Angeles in March, the couple made their official red carpet debut.
Later that month, Bellino spoke with Us Weekly about why she was a little apprehensive to announce the romance.
Bellino acknowledged, “I was a little anxious, but it’s because our relationship has been so scrutinized.” We began as friends, developed into something more, and now here we are. Furthermore, social media can be quite harmful. After much deliberation, we have finally decided to grab the bull by the horns and charge ahead.
Bellino explained that the negative criticism had the opposite effect of what was intended, as it actually reinforced her bond with Janssen. She told Us, “Instead of bringing us down, it made us stronger.”
Bellino appeared in the midseason trailer that was released last week, despite not having yet had any filming time with Janssen this season. In the meantime, the animosity between Bellino and Beador has only grown.
Beador said to Us exclusively last month that she doesn’t want to “pursue a friendship” with Bellino for reasons “aside” from her ex-boyfriend.
“There’s the video where she says something like, ‘You’re not going to win my man.'” I feel as though I’m not competing. Have fun! She chuckled and said that although the romance initially wounded her, she had moved on from that period of her life.
Three and a half years later, John and I called it quits. He dated someone for six months, and it was very public. I dated someone, but none of us acknowledged it when we did reconnect,” she said. “I believe that although we cared for one another, we both understood in our hearts that it would never work.
After that, we got back together and pretended to be boyfriend and girlfriend for an additional six months.I’m relieved that we are no longer together, and perhaps this incident was necessary for me to sever my relationship.
