Former Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino is publicly declaring her love for her boyfriend John Janssen on Instagram and showing off the ring he gave her. Bellino had been previously shut down romance rumors but has now embraced her relationship with Janssen.

Alexis Bellino and boyfriend John Janssen made their relationship Instagram official and received some pushback, especially from RHOC star Shannon Beador, who previously dated Janssen.
Former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Alexis Bellino is making her relationship Instagram official with boyfriend John Janssen. In a post on Christmas day, Bellino shared a photo of the ring Janssen gave her and expressed her love for him. She stated, “Words cannot. Actions do. I will no longer feel guilty. I will not apologize. Love will create its own story. I love you Johnny J.”
The romance rumors surrounding the couple began in November when they were spotted together during a group dinner. At the time, Bellino’s rep shut down the speculation, stating that Alexis and John have so much in common that they are quickly becoming friends. However, it appears that their friendship took a romantic turn earlier this month, as reports confirmed their relationship. This news came as a surprise, especially to RHOC star Shannon Beador, who previously dated Janssen. Beador expressed feeling “hurt” after learning of her ex’s new relationship, and questioned why there seems to be a revolving door of Orange County Housewives dating the same people.
While Beador and Bellino were never on the show at the same time, their connection to the RHOC franchise remains. Bellino appeared on the Bravo series from seasons 5 to 8, exiting the show right before Beador joined in season 9. Additionally, Beador was involved in a million-dollar lawsuit with Alexis’ ex-husband Jim Bellino, though Beador was ultimately dropped from the lawsuit while Alexis’ ex and Tamra Judge reached a settlement in 2021.
The relationship between Bellino and Janssen may have caused a stir within the RHOC circles, but it seems that Alexis is moving forward with her love life as she continues to share her journey on social media.
