Beador has not yet made a public statement about her ex’s engagement.
Beliino’s announcement follows just a month after Alexis disclosed that she and John had been out shopping for rings.
‘We have looked at engagement rings,’ the Bravo star told E! News. ‘We are talking about the future for sure.’
After a year of dating, the reality star said the relationship is ‘amazing,’ explaining that it ‘gets better every day.’
‘We both are kind of like ‘pinch me’ in the fact that we truly found like a best friend and someone that we want to ride the rest of this life out with together. It’s pretty amazing,’ she told the outlet.
Bellino went on to explain that her relationship is unique and she can’t wait to share it with the Real Housewives season 18 viewers.
‘I’m excited for everyone to honestly understand that it is organic. We’ve had backlash consistently since the time we met,’ she said.
‘People think we’re doing this as a facade and it’s like no, this is reality and we are in love. Our kids are a group now, our dogs are acclimated, so we’re moving forward,’ she added.

John called it quits with Alexis’ co-star Shannon Beador in 2022 after nearly three years together; seen in 2019
This isn’t the first time the pair hinted at a serious future together.
During an interview with Page Six, the 61-year-old said, ‘I’m focused on Alexis and I… I cannot picture my life without her.’
Alexis and John relationship status was leaked back in December after his messy breakup with RHOC star Beador.
John called it quits with the the 60-year-old in 2022 after nearly three years together. The outlet reported that she was ‘blind sighted’ by his decision to separate.
When asked how his ex would react to the news of him and Alexis getting more serious he said that it was ‘not about’ her.
‘It’s not about Shannon,’ he told Page Six. ‘I don’t want Shannon to hurt, I wish her nothing but the best.’
In March, he sued his ex-girlfriend for $75k after allegedly borrowing the money for a facelift.

The couple began dating in November 2023
Shannon said in a statement: ‘My attorney has been in constant communication with his counsel. I agreed to pay John what he wanted because I knew that attorneys fees would surpass the amount sought, but more importantly to eliminate the negative emotional components that come with a lawsuit.’
When Alexis was first introduced on Real Housewives of Orange County during Season 4, she was still married to her then-husband, Jim Bellino.
The couple, who married in 2005, ended their marriage in 2018, but they continue to co-parent their three children: James, 18, and twins Miles and Mackenna, 16.
