John Janssen and Alexis Bellino are no longer hiding their romance. The duo was spotted holding hands out in the open — almost like they’re flaunting it.
Is their courtship a slap in the face to John’s ex Shannon Beador – another star from Real Housewives of Orange County – who was just arrested for driving under the influence? According to a source from PEOPLE, they aren’t using labels, but they hang out frequently.
Now, John and Alexis have officially gone public, per Daily Mail.
The outlet got pics of them holding hands while grabbing a morning coffee on Sunday at Newport Beach.
Alexis had coffee in her other hand while walking down a sidewalk with John. The pair seemed comfortable, enjoying the quiet stroll in their upscale town.
She wore a cream dress with sneakers and carried a leather purse while John went casual with jeans, a white shirt, and blue sneakers.

The images surfaced after the couple was recently videoed making out on a boat.
A source previously told PEOPLE, “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.”
Shannon formerly reacted to the romance while speaking to E! News.
“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,” she said.
Are John and Alexis wringing out their storyline for the upcoming season? John, it seems, can only date women who are holding an orange – perhaps he’s thirsty.
