Alexis Bellino may be in a new relationship now that she’s back on The Real Housewives of Orange County for Season 18, but she’s still the same dedicated mom that she’s always been.
Ahead of the premiere, which aired July 11, Alexis shared the latest on her three kids — twins, Miles and Mackenna, and son, James — in an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish.
“My kids live with me full time, all three of them still,” she said before revealing an update on 18-year-old James specifically. “He just graduated and was gonna go to college, and he is still gonna go to college, but now he’s gonna live with me for a year or two more.”
Suffice to say, “That’s gonna keep me busy,” Alexis added with a laugh.
Thankfully, she has a good support system — especially when it comes to her boyfriend, John Janssen.

In fact, Alexis and John have been able to blend their families quite well. (John has three children from a previous marriage.)
“We’ve acclimated all of our families together, including dogs,” Alexis told The Daily Dish. “We are moving in a direction of being in it for the long haul. So, it’s exciting.”
That said, she and John aren’t quite living together just yet. “I mean, we try to stay together when we can, but I have my three children who still live here full time,” Alexis noted. “We do try to stay together as much as possible, and we’re together every day. I mean, there’s not a day that we don’t either have lunch or get together or hang out.”

Most recently, Alexis, John, and all of their kids went on a joint trip to Puerto Rico. “It was amazing,” she said of the vacation. “Good family bonding time.”
