Alexis Bellino may have just tied the knot with John Janssen months ago, but already, she has another wedding to plan.
As the 48-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County alum confirmed with a video on her Instagram page, her oldest son, James Bellino, 19, whom shares with her ex-husband, Jim Bellino, is engaged following a beach proposal to his girlfriend.
“And just like that my first born is engaged!!!! 12/17/25…These two have been together since they were 15 years old. 5 years later, they’re engaged!!!” Alexis captioned her December 19 clip. “James did it all …from making the plan, to finding the location, to directing each of us, to hiring the crew. It was the most beautiful night. I could not have hand picked a better person for my son, nor wished for a better daughter-in-law.”
“Our Brady bunch is forever growing. Welcome to the family sweet girl. We love you so much. What a beautiful Christmas gift,” she added.
In the video, after James was seen proposing to his girlfriend on a blanket in the sand, which had been topped with floral arrangements and a Bible, his wife-to-be was treated to a surprise celebration from their family and friends, during which she appeared visibly emotional.
As RHOC fans will recall, Alexis and John, 63, began dating in late 2023, nearly a year after he split from her former castmate, Shannon Beador, 61, after three years of dating. Then, in August of the following year, the couple became engaged.
Alexis and Jim also share twins Mackenna and Miles, who turned 18 in November.
Alexis Bellino was featured on The Real Housewives of Orange County from season five through season eight and also appeared on the show as a “friend of” for its 18th season.
