Heather Dubrow Has a Surprising Update on RHOC Alum Alexis Bellino
Find out the unexpected reason why the former castmates began talking again.
Longtime viewers of The Real Housewives of Orange County know that Heather Dubrow and Alexis Bellino rarely got along when they appeared on the show together during Seasons 7 and 8.
From the bow-gate cake controversy with Alexis’ friend Sarah on Season 7 to the clambake guest list drama on the following season, Alexis and Heather were often at odds — which is why it was surprising when the latter Orange County resident revealed that the two are in a good place today. Read on for details.
Heather Dubrow and Alexis Bellino’s Current Relationship
During an appearance on the June 21 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, host Andy Cohen asked Heather where she stands with RHOC alum Alexis today.
“We’ve been talking for the last few years,” Heather said, much to Andy’s surprise. “Actually, our kids — a couple of our kids — were in a play together three or four years ago and we connected back then, and we’ve been talking ever since.”
Heather also discussed her friendship with the mom of three during a prior appearance on WWHL in 2022.
“By the way, Alexis and I are really, really good. She and I have become friends,” Heather said, before adding that the two are “all good.”
Heather and Alexis’ Deep Bond
Heather and Alexis are not only “all good” but have even been able to connect on a deeper level. Back in October 2022, Alexis shared that her teenage son, Miles (whom she shares with her ex Jim Bellino), is transgender.
“Hey world, this is Miles. My transgender son,” Alexis wrote on Instagram to introduce her followers to Miles. “I cannot imagine the strength and courage it took for my baby to do this, but I’m extremely proud of him.”
Then less than five months later, Heather celebrated International Sons Day by opening about her youngest child, Ace, who is also transgender.
“It’s International sons day! We love you, our youngest son, Ace,” Heather wrote in the caption of her post on March 4. “Our job as parents is to give our kids a safe and supportive environment so they can grow up as healthy, happy, confident, independent humans.”
With so much in common, Heather and Alexis have squashed any of the disagreements they may have had in the past.
Heather’s Thoughts on Her Past RHOC Beef with Alexis
When Andy pointed out that Heather and Alexis weren’t exactly the best of friends during their two seasons together on RHOC, the mom of four explained that they’ve since brushed off the drama.
“You know what? At some point, it doesn’t matter,” Heather said of their past drama. “We’re [Real Housewives] sorority sisters, we’re good, we’re all mothers.”
What Alexis Bellino Is Doing Now
Since viewers last saw Alexis on RHOC back in 2013 (or when she was a charter guest on Below Deck Season 7 in 2020), she’s been living her best life with her fiancé, Andy Bohn, and their blended family of five kids.
In early June, Alexis teamed up with her ex-husband Jim to surprise their daughter, Mackenna “Kenna,” with a car as an early 16th birthday present. A month earlier, she posted a photo featuring her three children on their fifth annual Mother’s Day bike ride. In April, she celebrated her son James’ 17th birthday (and she teased his prom plans a few weeks later).
You can keep up with Alexis on Instagram, and you can see Heather on RHOC Season 17. New episodes air Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
