Alexis Bellino, known for her appearances on The Real Housewives of Orange County, was reportedly in talks to make a return to the show before officially dating John Janssen. Sources revealed that her relationship with Janssen did not influence her decision to return to the reality series.
Bellino has been described as 'fantastic' by insiders for her on-camera presence with her fellow cast members. She has been actively engaging with the other housewives and is said to be driving a significant portion of the show's storyline.
The reality star first appeared on RHOC in 2009 as a main cast member from seasons 5 to 8. Although she did not return for season 9, she made a guest appearance during season 14.
Bellino's recent romance with Janssen, who previously dated RHOC star Shannon Beador, garnered attention in the media. Despite initial claims of being 'just friends,' Bellino and Janssen eventually made their relationship public on social media.
Following the public acknowledgment of their relationship, Bellino shared a post on Instagram showcasing a promise ring she received from Janssen for Christmas. The post expressed her love and gratitude towards Janssen, emphasizing that actions speak louder than words.
Their relationship has stirred some reactions, particularly from Beador, who expressed feeling hurt by Janssen's increased public presence. Beador questioned the dynamics of dating within the Real Housewives circle, given her own history with Janssen.
Despite the initial speculation and reactions, Bellino and Janssen have continued to share their relationship milestones on social media, with Bellino expressing her love and appreciation for Janssen.
