As the countdown begins for Alexis Bellino’s upcoming wedding to John Janssen, fans are eager for a glimpse into the couple’s life together, which is filled with love, laughter, and a unique family dynamic. This former star of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” is proving that unconventional relationships can thrive and flourish.
On May 24, 2024, Alexis took to Instagram to share their adventure during a recent trip to Chula Vista, California, where they kicked off Hardy’s Jim Bob World Tour. While she playfully admitted to being unfamiliar with the artist’s music prior to the concert, the couple’s outing was more about family bonding than celebrity culture.
“A lil Hardy concert with our older kiddos!!” she captioned her lively post, highlighting the joyful moments shared with their blended family. Strong hints of humor can be found throughout her messages, as she remarked, “I hate to admit I never knew Hardy played any genre except country. So thank you kiddos for teaching me the ways. Please keep me young and hip.”
Moments earlier, on May 17, Alexis shared a fun video of herself, John, and his children participating in a TikTok dance challenge at a wedding, playfully saying, “my knees are still working barely, thank goodness… (kids made me do it).” These snippets reflect a family that embraces fun, blending their lives together despite the complexities that come with a blended family.
Their love story took a beautiful turn last August, when John proposed to Alexis on their nine-month anniversary. In an emotional announcement, Alexis shared, “On Cloud 9, celebrating 9 months of love and laughter, and looking forward to my forever with you.” Her heartfelt words reveal the depth of their bond and the joy they find in building a life together.
The couple started their journey together in late 2023, sparking a romance filled with unique challenges and rewards, as both brought children from previous marriages into the mix. Alexis shares three children with her ex-husband, Jim Bellino, while John is a father to three adult children. The age differences between the kids add another layer to their family dynamics, making it all the more intriguing.
In a candid 2024 interview with Today, Alexis likened their family dynamic to a modern-day Brady Bunch. “It’s awesome,” she said, noting the positive relationships forming between their children. “I mean, there is an age gap between them. His children are in their 20s and 30s, while my kids are still teenagers. It’s cool to see how they all interact.” She optimistically envisions that once her teenage children finish college, the age difference will become less significant.
With Alexis and John planning a wedding that’s anything but traditional, fans are left wondering what special touches they will incorporate to make their day uniquely theirs.
