AceShowbiz - Alexis Bellino is "relieved" after fiance John Janssen settled his lawsuit with ex-girlfriend Shannon Beador, a source exclusively told Page Six. Janssen had sued Beador for $75,000 after he allegedly lent her the money for a facelift.
According to the source, Bellino is "relieved to put this entire ordeal behind them." She "never wanted this situation with Shannon and John to come between them" and is glad they can "close this chapter and put it in the past."
The source further revealed that Bellino "ever wanted was to move forward," especially as she and Janssen plan their wedding. The couple got engaged in August, nine months after they started dating.
"Alexis is focused on her engagement with John and moving forward with their lives," the insider stated. "She is happier than she's ever been and is grateful they can all move on."
In March, Janssen filed a lawsuit in Orange County Superior Court, claiming that Beador breached their oral contract and committed promissory fraud by not repaying him after he loaned her money for plastic surgery. However, Beador insisted the money was a gift.
Following the filing, Beador's attorney, Dave Beitchman, told Page Six that Beador "made an incredibly smart emotional and financial decision in deciding to settle this case."
Meanwhile, in a preview for Part 3 of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" Season 18 reunion, Janssen claimed he was single for an entire year before meeting Bellino. Beador, however, showed a text from Janssen expressing his love for her two months before the alleged meeting with Bellino.
