John and Shannon were together for three years before calling it quits at the end of 2022. The RHOC star has had a rough 2023 — in September, Shannon was arrested for drunken driving and a hit-and-run.

Both Alexis and John are recently single, a trait they both relate to: “The two have been supportive companions throughout their new single life,” a source told the site.
Until a few months ago, Bellino was engaged to Andy Bohn, while John was previously in a relationship with Alexis.
“This common background, combined with a mutual attraction, has made it easy for Alexis and John to form a natural bond.”
Shortly after, Beador admitted how “hurt” she was knowing her ex was dating Bellino.
“I'm not going to lie, I'm hurt. I've been hurt a lot in the last few weeks,” Beador said E! News at the season two premiere party for Hollywood Houselift.

She added that she was hurt, “because, No. 1, John said he didn't want to be in the public eye, and he's put himself more in the public eye at this point.” So I'm quite confused about that.'
The new relationship is also pretty bizarre, considering Alexis' ex-husband Jim Bellino previously sued Beador for defamation in 2018, long after Alexis left RHOC.
“John is well aware of a lawsuit that I was involved in along with Jim Bellino, and Alexis was involved in that lawsuit,” Shannon clarified.
'I was devastated financially and emotionally for years. And I won. But it has devastated me financially. And I'm a single mother. John is aware of that,” Beador said.

Beador joined RHOC in season 9, just after Bellino left the show in season 8, adding that she doesn't know why John would date another RHOC member.
'I don't know how to process it. How many Orange County Housewives have there been? Is that your dating pool?' she asked.
Beador also cleared up rumors that she had a verbal altercation with Bellino just one night before her DUI arrest in September.
'I do not know her. She said that on my unfortunate night I was across the bar yelling obscenities at her, which I did not do, and I have witnesses to prove that,” Beador said.
She added, “If you're going to say things about me, let's talk about the truth.”
When asked where she stood with John, she said: 'I haven't spoken to him in a while. It's been two months.'
