Alexis Bellino celebrated Christmas in a sparkling, joyous, and unrepentant manner. She captioned pictures of herself and her new partner on December 26 on Instagram. “Allow everyone to speak. However, you have shown me a love I have never experienced. I love you.”
Alexis referred to this as their “Christmas card” in a hashtag.
The 46-year-old former cast member of “Real Housewives of Orange County,” John Janssen, gave her an expensive promise ring. Janssen previously dated current cast member Shannon Beador.
In many ways, Alexis Bellino is showing off how much she loves her new partner, John Janssen. She showed this ring on Instagram and revealed if they were engaged.
“Words cannot. Actions do,” Bellino, 46, captioned the post. “I will no longer feel guilty. I will not apologize. Love will create its own story. I love you, Johnny J.”
Bellino’s post also featured the hashtags “Love Wins,” “Not Engaged,” and “Promised.”
French jewelry manufacturer Van Cleef & Arpels, well-known for its four-leaf clover design, created the ring. Alexis wore a yellow gold piece from the brand’s Perlée collection, which had the trademark “pearl” trim around the clover band made up of numerous stones.
“It is disappointing that he gave Alexis a $16,000 ring but did not do the same for Shannon,” Kelly commented on Alexis’ Instagram post, which was shared by @bravobreakingnews. “That’s mean.”
The star denied that she and John were “engaged,” and she included the hashtag “#promised,” suggesting he gave her a ‘promise’ ring.
However, fans’ reactions to Janssen’s gesture have since been conflicting. Despite Bellino’s post’s muted comments section, numerous RHOC viewers have expressed their thoughts in the fan accounts’ comments sections.
“This is Alexis securing her spot on RHOC,” one user suggested via the Best of Bravo account’s reshared post, referencing rumors of her possible return.
“A promise ring at 46 is wild,” another person said, while a third viewer shared, “If anyone gave me a promise ring, I wouldn’t have told a soul unless I was 15 years old.”
Bellino is ignoring the opponents. She posted two pictures of the new couple and wrote, “Johnny J, let everyone talk,” in response to the criticism.
“You have shown me love that I’ve never known,” she added. “I love you ❤️ #thisisourchristmascard #merrychristmas.”
The news of Bellino’s relationship with Janssen, 61, broke earlier this month. The two met at the Orange County restaurant The Quiet Woman in November thanks to mutual friends.
At the time, a source claimed that although they were not “using labels like boyfriend or girlfriend, they have been spending a lot of time together and have been enjoying learning about each other.”
You can hate him, but John never leaves the Bravo jungle, and he is good at jumping from orange to orange. Rumor has it that his new girlfriend, Shannon, is going to make a big comeback to Real Housewives of Orange County.
Janssen once dated Shannon Storms Beador, Bellino’s former costar on RHOC. He broke up with Beador in late 2022, following three and a half years of dating, but she claimed earlier in 2023 that she “was blindsided by the breakup.”
Beador reflected on what caused the breakup and said, “All I can do is repeat in my head what he said to me while we were filming.” “Our situation was excellent.
However, when the cameras were taken down seven days later, the situation had completely changed. He declared his intention to end our relationship. And to hear what he said to me then was devastating.”
Beador said of Janssen, I had high hopes that this was the man I would marry and live a lifetime with. I wanted it to work out. I have never loved anyone as much as I adore John. But he did not feel the same way.
