Alexis Bellino’s Ex Dating Show Alum

Shannon Beador was spotted with John Janssen right after her DUI arrest in September 2023. He was escorting her to the doctor and she claimed they had reconciled for a short period. Though they split after the Season 17 finale, she maintained they had reconnected briefly. Then, in November 2023, John and Alexis Bellino ran into each other at The Quiet Woman, an OC hotspot. Per Alexis, the chemistry was undeniable and they quickly launched their romance. They were not private which is something Shannon always preached about John.

She shared he did not like their romance displayed everywhere. However, Alexis posted photos of the two everywhere. He even gave her a “promised ring” for Christmas. It was then revealed Alexis would be joining the Season 18 cast of RHOC as a friend of Tamra Judge and Heather Dubrow. She and Shannon have not become buddies in any capacity. It has not helped that John sued Shannon for $75K. Plus, Alexis’ ex-husband, Jim Bellino sued Shannon and Tamra several years ago, costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars. In a twist, Jim Bellino is now dating a fellow RHOC alum.

According to TMZ, Jim has been dating Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, who appeared in Season 15. She returned for a guest episode in Season 18 thanks to Gina Kirschenheiter. During her time in the series, she had been married and was going through a divorce. She also had a boyfriend, Jimmy who she refused to sleep with until her divorce was finalized. Finally, Elizabeth, 49, shared she was raised in a cult. Luckily, she has now found love with Alexis’ ex-husband, Jim, 62, as they bonded over their love of golf.

How Long Has There Been Love?

It appears that this is relatively new as Elizabeth Lyn Vargas and Jim Bellino have only been dating for around a month. She has her own money whereas RHOC viewers may recall Jim was always trying something new and different. He currently owns a restaurant and helps raise his and Alexis Bellino’s three children. After fans learned about this twist, they had a lot to say:

  • I neer Bravo to bring her back on just to throw it in Jesus’ Jugs face! 😂
  • The best part is this photo is literally at the Quiet Woman. 😂
  • So everyone in OC just passes each other around?? lol
  • Lmao it’s a cesspool at this point.

It will be interesting to see what happens if Alexis returns for Season 19 and if this storyline follows. What do you think of this pairing? More so, are you shocked by it? Let us know in the comments and watch RHOC Thursdays on Bravo.
