ALEXIS Bellino has responded to rumors she's having a baby with Shannon Storms Beador’s ex John Janssen.
In December, it was revealed that the former Real Housewives of Orange County star was dating Shannon's ex-boyfriend.
At the time, a source told People that Alexis, 47, and John weren't "using labels like boyfriend and girlfriend, they've been spending a lot of time together and have been enjoying learning about each other."
According to the insider, the difficult experiences the two have been through separately have brought them close.
"The two have been supportive companions as they navigate newly single life. This common background paired with a mutual attraction has made it easy for Alexis and John to form a natural connection."
Alex confirmed her and John's relationship on Instagram on December 26 by sharing a picture of the two sitting on a boat.
She captioned her post: "Johnny J, let everyone talk. But you have shown me love that I’ve never known. I love you."
'GET YOUR STORIES STRAIGHT PEOPLE'
Earlier this week, rumors swirled that Alexis was pregnant with John's baby, however, the Bravo alum was quick to shut those rumors down.
On Tuesday, she shared a screenshot of an Instagram post regarding the "confirmed" pregnancy rumors.
She reshared the snap on her Stories and said, "Oh my gosh I've heard and seen it all now. Get your story straight people. We are both fixed lololol," along with three laughing emojis.
However, the star did introduce her 370,000 followers to her new "baby."
HER FURBABY
On Monday, Alexis shared a photo of John's pup, Banks, on social media and talked about how she's celebrating her 47th birthday.
She captioned the adorable snap with, "Meet Banks, @johnwjanssen #furbaby. I love him as much as I love his dad. So Banks will be gracing my IG also as he’s a part of this crazy love story. He’s now my fur baby too.
Thankfully he’s been well taken care of while Johnny and I’ve been celebrating my bday at a #staycation @surfandsandlaguna So much fun and so much love to share from this weekend and the pics are soon to come!!!!! I’m very thankful going into this year 47 years wiser. And I’m beyond thankful this birthday for you @johnwjanssen #youaremybestgift."
SHANNON SPEAKS OUT
Days after the news broke about her ex's relationship status, Shannon revealed to E! News that she was "hurt."
The star continued: "I'm not going to lie, I've been hurt. I've been hurt a lot in the last couple of weeks because, No. 1, John said that he didn't want to be in the public eye, and he's thrust himself more into the public eye at this point. So, I'm quite confused about that.
"I don't know how to process it," Shannon said, "How many Orange County Housewives have there been? Is that your dating pool?"
ALEXIS' STORY
In September, Alexis previously stated that she and Shannon were dining separately at a restaurant in California.
Later that night, Shannon was arrested and booked for driving under the influence and a hit-and-run.
It was reported by TMZ that a witness overheard Shannon "bitching" about Alexis to people around her.
Alexis told the news outlet at the time: "When my girlfriends and I arrived for a fun night out together, it was soon brought to my attention that Shannon was also at the same restaurant. Shannon and I did not interact that night, but it greatly saddens me to learn that she may harbor negative feelings or resentment toward me."
Alexis went on to discuss a 2019 lawsuit between her ex-husband, Jim Bellino's lawsuit against Shannon, and her RHOC co-star Tamara Judge after the two talked bad about him during a podcast.
Shannon won the case.
In the same interview with E! News, Shannon denied talking about the star and shut down rumors that she got into a verbal altercation with Alexis, "I don't know her. he said that I screamed obscenities at her across the bar on my unfortunate night, which I didn't, and I have witnesses to prove that. If you're going to say things about me, let's talk about the truth."
