Alexis Bellino is celebrating her newfound freedom! Let us explain…
The Real Housewives of Orange County friend took to Instagram on Thursday (June 6) to share a major milestone for her youngest son, Miles Bellino. Alexis posted a quick video of her 16-year-old boy sitting inside a Mustang convertible as he placed some papers in the glove compartment.
“Miles, what did you just tell me?” Alexis asked while standing in a DMV parking lot. “Where are you taking me? What’s happening right now?”
“I’m dropping you off and I’m going to see my friends,” Miles responded, causing his mom to laugh.
“’Cause get what? Momma’s free!” Alexis shouted as she raised one hand in the air. “I have three drivers! That’s right, people!”

It was at that moment when Miles’ accomplishment became clear: He earned his California driver’s license. As Alexis indicated, Miles was the last of her kids to achieve the milestone, following her oldest son, James Bellino, and Miles’ twin sister, Mackenna.
“Momma can take ‘taxi cab’ off the list,” the OC mom continued. “I’m still gonna be the cook and the maid… but I’m going to dinner tonight with my people, OK? Mom’s free, Miles is free, all the kids are free. In Jesus’ name, three drivers! Bye!”
