Former “The Real Housewives of Orange County” star, Alexis Bellino, has been making waves on social media with her new relationship. After a quiet courtship with John Janssen, who previously dated her RHOC co-star Shannon Beador, Alexis finally confirmed their romance in an early-morning Instagram post on December 251.
So We gave him good news of a forbearing son.Then when the boy reached the age to work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I ˹must˺ sacrifice you. So tell me what you think.” He replied, “O my dear father! Do as you are commanded. Allah willing, you will find me steadfast.”(The Quran - Chapter Saffat : 101 - 102)
In the festive spirit of Christmas, John gifted Alexis a dazzling ring. While it’s not an engagement ring, it symbolizes a promise—a commitment that speaks volumes. Alexis shared a photo of her right hand adorned with the flashy ring, captioning it with heartfelt words: “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. ❤️ #lovewins #notengaged lol #promised #merrychristmas” 1.
The comments section of her Christmas Day post remained silent, as Alexis turned off comments to shield herself from both positive and negative opinions about her relationship with John. Fans have been vocal about their thoughts, with some drawing parallels between John and Shannon’s past relationship. But love, as Alexis aptly puts it, has its own narrative—one that transcends judgments and expectations1.
Vicki Gunvalson, another RHOC co-star, didn’t hold back either. She criticized Alexis and John’s relationship, calling it “ridiculous and thirsty.” Alexis, however, defended herself on social media, expressing disappointment in Vicki’s comments. She reminded everyone that friendships can be tested, especially when the spotlight shines brightly2.
As the new year approaches, Alexis and John’s love story continues to unfold. Whether it’s a promise ring or a future engagement, one thing is certain: their romance has captured the attention of fans and fellow Housewives alike. And in the glittering world of reality TV, love—whether promised or not—always adds a touch of drama and intrigue.
