Alexis Bellino returns to Real Housewives Of Orange County amid drama over her romance with Shannon Beador's ex John Janssen
Alexis Bellino is reportedly returning to The Real Housewives Of Orange County, more than a decade after leaving the hit Bravo show in 2013.
An insider close to production said this TMZ that Bellino, 47, will appear as a “friend of the show” and began shooting scenes for season 18 on Tuesday night.
She previously starred in seasons five through eight and later returned as a guest during season 14.
The news comes amid her controversial relationship with John Janssen, 59, the recent ex-boyfriend of RHOC star Shannon Beador, 61.
Janssen and Bellino first sparked romance rumors in November, less than a year after his split from Beador, and he has since given her a $16,000 promise.
Beador's BFF Vicki Gunvalson recently speculated that Bellino used the romance to “stir the pot and secure her spot” on the show's new season.
