John Janssen is playing a game of truth and lie! During Part 3 of 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 18 Reunion, which aired on Thursday, November 21, John made some jaw-dropping revelations in a confessional. To everyone's surprise, he claimed he was single for nearly a year before he met his now-fiancee, Alexis Bellino. 

"I want everybody to know that our relationship is real. It happened organically. And I was single for a year before we met," John shared in a confessional, which was played for the women during the reunion episode. 

His ex-girlfriend, Shannon Beador, was visibly taken aback by the unaired confession and she simply didn't know what to say after his interesting bombshell. 

In the clip, he continued, "Although other people have other things to say, we know the truth. Neither one of us were looking. I wasn't looking, either. These last several months with Alexis have taught me that, you know, if we can make it through all of the chaos and the negativity that people are throwing at us, we can absolutely make it through anything."

During the 'RHOC' reunion, Alexis Bellino pulled all the stops to prove that John Janssen is a "good guy." Speaking of her beau in a confessional, Alexis said, "When I first got with John there were so many negative things being said about him. I Googled his name. Once I fell in love and was starting to like him, I Googled him. And all the negative stuff that Shannon lied and said about him, I had to ask him."

On the other hand, Shannon stated that she never said anything bad about John. "The only thing I've said negative about John is that I paid for everything in the first half of our relationship. And I did," she asserted. Now, Shannon is done discussing the timeline of Alexis and John's romance. "Alexis, I don't want to talk about you anymore. Get married. Congratulations, you guys are perfect for each other," she added.
