Congratulations are in order for Alexis Bellino and John Janssen.
According to People, the stars of “Real Housewives of Orange County” got engaged on Tuesday during a trip to San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California.
Bellino, 47, confirmed on Instagram on Wednesday that Janssen, 61, proposed to her on the day of their nine-month relationship.
“On cloud 9 🎉❤️, celebrating 9 months full of love and laughter and looking forward to eternity with you,” she wrote under a snapshot next to her now fiancé.
“Every moment we’ve spent together has been a gift. I’m so in love with you and the beautiful life we’re building together. And the answer is 100000000% yes.”
The reality star concluded her sentimental post with the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 13:13 and wrote, “Now abide faith, hope, love, these three. But the greatest of these is love.”
The romantic photo shows the loving couple sitting on a bench while Bellino wore a little black dress and strappy high heels.
She showed off her huge engagement ring and smiled at Janssen, who wore a blue blazer and black pants for the special occasion.
The duo’s engagement came after Bellino confirmed in an interview with E! News in July that she and her boyfriend were “definitely talking about the future” and looking at engagement rings.
“For both of us, it’s a bit like we can pinch ourselves because we really have found something like a best friend and someone we want to spend the rest of our lives with,” she gushed at the time.
Bellino also alluded to the reactions of critics who claimed she stole Janssen from her “RHOC” co-star Shannon Beador, saying, “This is reality and we are in love. Our kids are a group now, our dogs are settled in, so we’re moving on.”
Bellino and Janssen were first romantically linked in November 2023, less than a year after Beador confirmed that she and Janssen had split after four years of on-and-off dating.
In December 2023, the newly engaged couple launched their romance on Instagram with photos of themselves unpacking love letters on a boat.
In the same month, Janssen gave Bellino an engagement ring for Christmas.
Bellino spoke openly about their whirlwind romance and raved about their active sex life on the podcast “Two Ts in a Pod” in June.
She claimed that she and Janssen had sex “more than” four times a day and said: “I told him I didn’t know the human body was capable of such a thing.
“I keep telling him that I need to get vaginal rejuvenation. The difference is that now we stay together almost seven nights a week.”
The Bravolebrity was previously married to her ex Jeff Barry from 2002 to 2004 and to Jim Bellino from 2005 to 2018, with whom she has 17-year-old James and twins Mackenna and Miles (16).
Janssen has two children from a previous marriage.
