Are Alexis Bellino and John Janssen still together? ‘RHOC’ star Shannon Beador calls out ex-partner’s hypocrisy
ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA: 'RHOC' star Alexis Bellino and John Janssen are still together. Since confirming their relationship in November 2023, the couple has been very open about their future plans. They are not only discussing wedding plans but have also blended their families, showing a strong commitment to each other.
In a recent podcast episode on 'Two Ts In A Pod', Alexis shared that she and John spend almost every night together, cohabitating most of the week. She revealed that they have already started looking at engagement rings and have a plan for their future, indicating that an engagement could happen at any time.
However, this relationship has irked Jannsen's ex Shannon Beador, who publicly criticized Janssen for what she perceives as hypocrisy in his actions following their breakup. Shannon explained that John knew about the significant emotional and financial toll she experienced due to a lawsuit involving Alexis's ex-husband, Jim Bellino. Back in 2018, Jim sued Shannon and Tamra Judge for defamation, which Shannon eventually won, but not without considerable hardship.
She expressed her feelings, saying, "John is very well aware of a lawsuit that I was involved in with Jim Bellino, and Alexis was involved in that lawsuit. I was financially and emotionally devastated for years. And I won. But it devastated me financially. And I'm a single mom. John's aware of that."
What added to Shannon's frustration is John's apparent change in stance regarding public exposure. During their relationship, John claimed he wanted to avoid the public eye, yet now he seems comfortable being more visible with Alexis. Shannon commented on this contradiction, stating, "I've been hurt a lot in the last couple of weeks because, No. 1, John said that he didn't want to be in the public eye, and he's thrust himself more into the public eye at this point. So, I'm quite confused about that."
