Alexis Bellino is officially back on “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” but her return may be far from peaceful given her troubles with co-star Shannon Beador.
The reality TV star was a fan favorite during her time on the Bravo series; however, he sided with the wrong Beador. Although the couple did not resolve their drama prior to Bellino’s departure, his return will spark renewed animosity as she is currently dating her co-star’s ex-boyfriend.
Alexis Bellino Will Star in ‘RHOC’ Season 18 as a Showmate
Bellino’s return to the “RHOC” set has been confirmed by production sources, who say the 46-year-old will star in the program’s 18th season. He returned as a companion to the show more than a decade after leaving the series in 2013.
The TV personality was a leading cast member on the Bravo show from seasons 5 to 8 and previously returned as a guest in season 14. Insiders confirmed she’s back filming the latest installment with the other housewives; however, how Beador handles Bellino’s return remains to be seen.
As noted, the couple has had a troubled history, with Beador allegedly trash-talking Bellino at a restaurant shortly before he was arrested on a DUI charge in September 2023. According to Bellino, the “RHOC” star’s verbal assault is over a defamation lawsuit.

Bellino’s ex-husband files a lawsuit against Beador and Tamra Judge; however, Bellino told TMZ he is not involved in legal drama. The rocky relationship between these women is sure to escalate in the 18th season of “RHOC” regarding their relationship with the same man.
Bellino recently started dating Beador’s ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, who she was with from July 2019 to November 2022. The former couple’s relationship did not end well, as Beador claimed she was blindsided by the breakup a week after filming on Season 17 wrapped.
Meeting Bellino with her ex-boyfriend was not easy for Beador to swallow, especially since he had previously announced his bad relationship with Janssen’s children. Meanwhile, her co-star seems to have managed to win over her new lover’s child and is enjoying a holiday with them.
How Alexis Bellino’s Life Changed After Leaving ‘RHOC’
During her time on “RHOC,” Bellino stole the show with her fun personality and religious values. From seasons 5 to 8, fans fell in love with her journey as a loving wife and stay-at-home mom with three children.
The 46-year-old also showcased her life as a devout Christian while growing her fashion empire, Alexis Couture. She also allowed the cameras to record her domestic strife with her husband Jim Bellino, which led to severe criticism from other women.
After leaving the show, the fashion entrepreneur went through some changes, starting with her divorce from Jim. The former couple ended their marriage after 13 years in 2018. Two years later, she announced her engagement to film producer Andy Bohn.
Bellino spoke about her then-fiancé in an episode of “Life After Bravo,” saying: “After meeting Drew, I just knew that there are different types of people that are there for you who are your best friends, build you up, help you get to the next phase where you want to be in life.
As for his family life, the Bellino children — son James and twins Mackenna and Miles — have grown from toddlers to teenagers. In October 2022, the mother of three announced Miles as a transgender man, stating she was “tired of people’s misgendering and confusion.”
Alexis Bellino’s Ex-Husband Loses Lawsuit Against Shannon Beador & Tamra Judge
Four years before Alexis returned to “RHOC,” her ex-husband Jim was unsuccessful in his defamation lawsuit against Beador and Judge Tamra. The entertainer’s ex-lover is suing the couple over their comments on Heather McDonald’s podcast.
Jim accuses them of lying about his business problems and claims he faked his divorce. Their statements, according to the lawsuit, damaged his reputation and negatively affected his business. The legal document reads:
“As a result of the defamatory statements at issue in this case, they were unable to obtain several new loans and were unable to obtain several new investments, as several third parties were no longer willing to do business with them due to the damage to my reputation.”
Unfortunately for Jim, Beador successfully had all claims against him dismissed and was awarded $137,340 in attorneys’ fees. The loss didn’t stop the “RHOC” alum’s ex-husband from filing a separate lawsuit against the podcast host and holding him liable for the same claim.
He accused McDonald of making comments that were factual statements, but he denied all allegations of wrongdoing and demanded the case be tossed. A judge ruled in favor of the podcast host, stating Jim had failed to show how McDonald’s was linked to his defamation claims.
