Alexis Bellino Has a Message for Critics of Her Relationship with John Janssen
The RHOC Season 18 friend is also getting ready to take the next step in her romance with John.
Alexis Bellino is unbothered by those criticizing her relationship with John Janssen (or, as she likes to call him, Johnny J).
The mom of three, who returned to the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County as a friend for Season 18, took to her Instagram Stories to address those who are skeptical of her romance with the USC alum.
She first shared a selfie of her embracing John while they were out on his boat together. The second photo she shared on her Stories highlighted the front of John's boat, and the surrounding water.
"Talk away..." she wrote in the caption of her second photo. "As we boat away and live our life."
Are Alexis Bellino and John Janssen engaged?
Alexis and John have yet to celebrate their one year dating anniversary, but they're already thinking about their next chapter.
During an exclusive chat with The Daily Dish in June 2024, Alexis teased that an engagement to John is "around the corner."
"Honestly, I think he's trying to throw me off. I know it's coming because we did go ring shopping together. So it's definitely around the corner," Alexis, who has previously been married to Jim Bellino and engaged to Andy "Drew" Bohn, shared about her beau's proposal plans. "That could be tomorrow. It could be six months from now. I honestly don't know, because he is throwing a lot of little things in my direction."
She also confirmed that she will be very public about the engagement when it does actually happen.
"I think he's just trying to keep me confused," she added. "So I don't know... I mean, America will know when it happens. We won’t be quiet about it."
Alexis certainly has not been quiet about her bond with John on RHOC Season 18, either. In the Season 18 midseason teaser, Alexis reiterates that she's ready to take the next step with John after only a few months of dating.
"We're ring shopping," she tells friends and castmates Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge in the teaser, much to their visible surprise.
John also pops up in the midseason teaser for a PDA-filled moment with his girlfriend, which you can check out below.
