On October 13, The Real Housewives of Orange County friend hopped on her Instagram Stories to share a behind-the-scenes look at cleaning out of her closet with John. In addition, John was helping his soon-to-be bride further by setting up a new clothing rack. 

Alexis Bellino's "Closet Cleanout" With John Janssen

"Saturday closet cleanout," Alexis wrote over a video of John helping her put together the rack. "This is our project, we're cleaning out the closet today," she added, panning over to her walk-in closet. There were also several piles of clothes, bags, and other details around the floor showing how the couple was mid-process. 

"He's trying to put another rack together," Alexis shared, coming in closer to see John building a black clothing rack which she noted was too small. "It's kinda tiny," she added, as John confirmed, "It is!" 

"Babe, we can just ship it back," Alexis continued, as John joked, "I've gone too far. There's no turning back!"

Ultimately, Alexis was proud of John for the finished product. "Look at this masterpiece you did!" she exclaimed, showing off the completed rack. "Good job, babe!" 

Alexis also added the hashtag "job well done" over her story. 

Do Alexis Bellino and John Janssen live together?

No. Currently, the couple reside in separate homes as she revealed during an interview with The Daily Dish several weeks ago. "I mean, we pretty much live together right now, anyway... We bounce back between both homes," she said, adding, "We decided we're going to keep both homes. I have twins in high school still. We don't want to uproot anybody from their normal, so we're gonna keep both homes for a while... when the twins graduate, we'll decide then."

Alexis Bellino and John Janssen's Engagement 

Alexis and John seem to be enjoying more and more time together since getting engaged in September. 

"It was super exclusive. It was very romantic," Alexis shares in the video above, shot when the California mom stopped by Bravo HQ earlier this season. "He honestly went to the restroom and came back [when] we were at dinner and [...] we were talking about our whole relationship of the past nine months and we were [...] getting emotional, and he was like, 'I just can't wait anymore,' and he was holding the ring." 

Alexis also showed off the stunning sparkler John gifted her at the proposal. "It's a cushion, and that's about all I want to say about it," Alexis shares in the video, putting her glamorous cushion-cut diamond surrounded by a halo of smaller diamonds on display. "We've both been married before, so, obviously, we eliminated those shapes from our selection process and this is what we chose." 

She added about the engagement ring, "This was my favorite but it's definitely a wow-zer, so I'm definitely very blessed."
