AceShowbiz - "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Alexis Bellino and boyfriend John Janssen are engaged. The couple confirmed their engagement on Wednesday, August 28, on Bellino's Instagram account. In a sweet photo of the pair together, Bellino showcased a brand new cushion-cut diamond ring.
"On Cloud 9, celebrating 9 months of love and laughter, and looking forward to my forever with you," Bellino captioned the picture. "Every moment together has been a gift. I am so in love with you and the beautiful life we’re building together. And the answer is 100000000% yes."
According to PEOPLE, Janssen proposed to Bellino on Tuesday, August 27, during a getaway to the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. A rep for the couple confirmed the engagement, saying, "John & Alexis are happily engaged, and look forward to their long future together as husband and wife."
Bellino and Janssen first met in November 2023 at The Quiet Woman in Orange County. They made their official relationship public in December of that year. Since then, they have been open about their love, sharing glimpses of their time together on social media and expressing their affection for each other.
Their engagement marks a significant milestone in their relationship, which has faced some negativity from fans due to Janssen's past relationship with Bellino's "RHOC" co-star Shannon Storms Beador. However, the couple has remained strong amidst the criticism.
Bellino was previously married to Jeff Barry from 2002 to 2004 and Jim Bellino from 2005 to 2018, with whom she shares three children. Janssen also has two children from a previous marriage.
