While Alexis Bellino and her fiancé, John Janssen, are planning to spend the rest of their lives together, they don't currently live together — and now we know exactly why. During Part 2 of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion, Alexis touched on her and John's current living arrangements.
"We won't [all live in one house] for a while. John's house is small, so we will be doing both houses for quite a while," she said during the Thursday, November 14 episode.
Alexis first revealed their living situation during a September interview at Bravo HQ.
"I mean, we pretty much live together right now, anyway. We bounce back between both homes," she said at the time. "We decided we're going to keep both homes. I have twins in high school still. We don't want to uproot anybody from their normal, so we're gonna keep both homes for a while ... when the twins graduate, we'll decide then."
How Alexis Bellino's kids reacted to her and John Janssen's engagement
During the November 14 reunion episode, Alexis also revealed how her children, James, Miles, and Mackenna, reacted to the pair's August 2024 engagement.
"I sent a picture of the engagement ring to the whole family chain, and Miles' response was 'WTF,'" she said. "And then he's like, 'CALL ME NOW' in all capital letters. He's like, 'John, you did not ask my permission.' And so, it was cute. And John's like, 'Are you OK with it?' And Miles is like, 'Yeah, I love you.'"
Details on John Janssen and Alexis Bellino's blended family

"We've acclimated all of our families together, including dogs," Alexis told The Daily Dish in July prior to their engagement. "We are moving in a direction of being in it for the long haul. So, it's exciting."
