Alexis Bellino had a very merry, sparkly and unapologetic Christmas.
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum, 46, revealed Monday via Instagram that her new beau, John Janssen — who previously dated current cast member Shannon Beador — gifted her a pricey promise ring.
“Words cannot. Actions do. I will no longer feel guilty. I will not apologize. Love will create it’s [sic] own story. I love you Johnny J. 🎄♥️#lovewins #notengaged #promised #merrychristmas,” she captioned a close-up shot of the new bling on her right ring finger.
Bellino went on to tag French luxury jewelry company Van Cleef & Arpels, which designed the $16,3000 Perlée clovers ring.
The bauble is a thick, 18-karat yellow gold band encrusted in diamonds in the shape of four-leaf clovers.
The former Bravolebrity later shared two loved-up photos with the businessman, 60, writing alongside them, “Johnny J, let everyone talk. But you have shown me love that I’ve never known. I love you ❤️ #thisisourchristmascard #merrychristmas.”
Bellino made sure to disable the comments sections beneath both posts, but that didn’t stop social media users from weighing in on both the shocking present and her use of the L-word after less than a month of dating.
“Alexis Bellino approaching 50 and posting promise rings and saying I love you to a man she met 3 minutes ago….,” one Twitter user remarked, as another added, “Alexis Bellino better be on RHOC season 18 after all of this!!!!! I need to see Shannon have a meltdown over it.”
A third tweeted, “Okay I’m not a big fan of @ShannonBeador but @AlexisBellino is a total bitch. Shannon girl you dodged a whale of a bullet,” while someone else suggested, “Personally, I think Alexis Bellino’s Ex-Fiancé should give Shannon a call!”
As Page Six exclusively reported, Bellino ended her engagement to her fiancé of almost three years, Andrew “Drew” Bohn, in September.
Meanwhile, Janssen and Beador, 59, broke up in November 2022 after nearly four years of dating; he called it quits shortly after they finished filming “RHOC” Season 17.
However, the pair remained close for months, with Janssen even being by Beador’s side following her September arrest for DUI and hit-and-run.
As for his relationship with Bellino, the duo initially made headlines last month for hanging out together at Orange County, Calif., staple The Quiet Woman, which Beador often frequents.

After the cozy outing, Bellino’s rep told us that the former “Housewife” and the insurance broker “have so much in common” and were “quickly becoming friends.”
The former Fox 5 correspondent went on to add that she and her “new friend” bonded over “emerging from recent heartbreak” and that she was looking “forward to hanging out” with him more.
Page Six confirmed their romance earlier this month, though an insider insisted at the time that they were “not boyfriend and girlfriend” yet.
Two weeks later, a video surfaced showing Bellino kissing Janssen on the lips. They were also photographed holding hands while on a stroll.
As for Beador, she recently said she was “hurt” and “confused” by the new relationship and admitted she did not “know how to process” the news.
The cast of “RHOC” Season 18 has not yet been announced, but fans are hoping Beador and Bellino’s paths will finally cross on camera.
