Alexis Bellino is set to marry her boyfriend John Janssen, who previously dated her Real Housewives of Orange County co-star Shannon Beador.
The reality star, 47, took on Instagram Wednesday night to announce her engagement and share a heartwarming photo of the happy couple.
“On cloud nine we’re celebrating 9 months of love and laughter and I can’t wait to be with you forever,” she captioned the photo, which shows the couple embracing and Alexis proudly showing off her massive diamond engagement ring.
“Every moment together has been a gift. I am so in love with you and the beautiful life we are building together. And the answer is 100000000% yes,” she continued.
The TV personality concluded the message with a passage from the Bible, Corinthians 13:13, in which he wrote, “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Beador has not yet made a public statement about her ex’s engagement.
Beliino’s announcement comes just a month after Alexis revealed that she and John had been shopping for rings.
“We looked at engagement rings,” the Bravo star shared E! News“We are definitely talking about the future here.”
After a year of dating, the reality star said the relationship is “amazing” and “getting better every day.”
“We’re both kind of ‘pinch me’ at the fact that we’ve actually found a best friend and someone that we want to spend the rest of our lives with. It’s really amazing,” she told the outlet.
Bellino explained that her relationship is unique and that she can’t wait to share it with Real Housewives Season 18 viewers.
“I’m glad that everyone honestly understands that it’s organic. We’ve had constant backlash since we met,” she said.
“People think we’re doing this as a facade and then it’s like no, this is reality and we’re in love. Our kids are a pack now, our dogs are acclimated, so we’re moving forward,” she added.

It’s not the first time the couple has hinted at a serious future together.
During an interview with Page Sixthe 61-year-old said, “I focus on Alexis and I… I can’t imagine my life without her.”
Alexis and John’s relationship status leaked in December following his messy split from RHOC star Beador.
John broke up with the 60-year-old in 2022 after nearly three years together. The outlet reported that she was “blindsided” by his decision to part ways.
When asked how his ex would react to the news that his and Alexis’ relationship was getting more serious, he said it was “not about” her.
“It’s not about Shannon,” he said Page Six“I don’t want Shannon to get hurt, I just wish her the best.”
In March, he sued his ex-girlfriend for $75,000 after she allegedly borrowed the money for a facelift.

The couple started dating in November 2023
Shannon said in a statement: “My attorney has been in constant communication with his legal counsel. I agreed to pay John what he wanted because I knew the attorney fees would exceed the amount requested, but more importantly to eliminate the negative emotional components that come with a lawsuit.”
When Alexis was first introduced on Real Housewives of Orange County in Season 4, she was still married to her then-husband, Jim Bellino.
The couple, who married in 2005, ended their marriage in 2018, but continued to raise their three children together: James, 18, and twins Miles and Mackenna, 16.
