Alexis Bellino is opening up about her current living situation with her fiancé, John Janssen! During the second part of 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 18 reunion, Alexis revealed that she and her soon-to-be husband John are currently not living together in the same house. "We won't all live in one house for a while. John's house is small, so we will be doing both houses for quite a while," she shared in the episode which aired on Thursday, November 14. 

The Bravo housewife previously spoke about her living situation with her partner John during a September 2024 interview at Bravo HQ. She mentioned that the engaged couple plans to split their time between both of their homes. "I mean, we pretty much live together right now, anyway. We bounce back between both homes. We decided we're going to keep both homes. I have twins in high school still. We don't want to uproot anybody from their normal, so we're gonna keep both homes for a while when the twins graduate, we'll decide then," she shared.

Were Alexis Bellino's kids happy with her engagement to John Janssen?

In the Thursday, November 14 episode of 'RHOC' Season 18, Alexis Bellino opened up about how her three kids—James, Miles, and Mackenna—reacted to her engagement to John Janssen. She revealed that her children were taken aback by the pair's engagement.

"I sent a picture of the engagement ring to the whole family chain, and Miles' response was 'WTF.' And then he's like, 'CALL ME NOW' in all capital letters. He's like, 'John, you did not ask my permission.' And so, it was cute. And John's like, 'Are you OK with it?' And Miles is like, 'Yeah, I love you,'" she said.
