AceShowbiz - "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Alexis Bellino's ex-husband, Jim Bellino, has reportedly moved on with show alum Elizabeth Lyn Vargas. The couple, who met through a "Girls Talk" podcast co-host, have been dating for about a month and are said to share a passion for golf.
Jim and Vargas, who appeared on "RHOC" season 15, are both avid golfers and initially bonded over their shared love of the sport. Sources say sparks are "flying" between the purported new couple, who were spotted looking smitten on a recent date night.
Meanwhile, Alexis, who starred on "RHOC" from seasons 5 to 8, is happily engaged to John Janssen, the former boyfriend of "RHOC" alum Shannon Beador. Alexis and Janssen met in November 2023 and got engaged in August.
Alexis, who shares three children with Jim, has maintained a close relationship with her ex-husband since their divorce in 2018. They have even worked together to promote Jim's new business, Auto Vault OC.
Jim has expressed concerns about Janssen, calling him "very secretive" and questioning his profession. He has advised Alexis to protect her assets and sign a prenup.
Vargas, who was previously married to businessman Bernt Bodal, has faced her own relationship challenges. In 2022, she was held hostage by an ex-boyfriend in her Newport Beach home.
The love triangle among Alexis, Jim, and Vargas has become a hot topic on "RHOC", with Alexis denying any wrongdoing. She insists she did not break "girl code" by getting together with Janssen.
As the drama unfolds, fans are eager to see how the relationships between these former and current "RHOC" stars will continue to evolve. Will Jim and Vargas follow in Alexis and Janssen's footsteps and announce their engagement soon? Only time will tell.
