AceShowbiz - Alexis Bellino may head back to "The Real Housewives of Orange County". A new report revealed that Alexis has received a "formal offer" from Bravo to rejoin the show for season 18, though she has yet to accept it.
The offer came amid her romantic relationship with John Janssen, "RHOC" alum Shannon Beador's ex-boyfriend. "Her relationship with John is certainly interesting," an insider reveals to Page Six.
The source adds, "It's not the only reason producers want Alexis back. She's a dynamic personality who has history with a good portion of the cast." Another informant, meanwhile, stresses that "nothing has been signed yet."
While Alexis has yet to accept the offer, she previously shared that she'd be open to returning to the show. "I'll never say never," Alexis, who starred on "RHOC" from season 5 to 8 from 2009 until 2013, said at one of Kathy Hilton's several Christmas parties in Los Angeles. She additionally admitted that her return would inevitably "start a little drama" with Shannon given her romance with John.
Her romance with John did make headlines considering her history with Shannon, who made it clear that she's not a fan of Alexis. "Other than one incident in which I witnessed her shouting obscenities at me from across a restaurant, immediately prior to her very unfortunate arrest, Shannon Beador and I have never worked together or interacted," Alexis previously said, referring to the hours leading up to Shannon's headline-making DUI in September 2023.
Later in November, Alexis sparked chatter when she was spotted sitting together with John in a booth at The Quiet Woman, which is Shannon's favorite haunt in Newport Beach, Calif. Alexis and John confirmed their romance in December as they were photographed packing on PDA during their beach getaway with friends.
She also revealed that her boyfriend gave her a promise ring. Alongside a photo highlighting a thick band, which came with engravings and other details, on one of her fingers, Alexis wrote in the caption, "Words cannot. Actions do. I will no longer feel guilty. I will not apologize. Love will create its own story. I love you Johnny J. #lovewins #notengaged #promised #merrychristmas @vancleefarpels."
