Alexis Bellino In The Heart Of Every other Love Triangle On ‘RHOC’

Like the reality star did with Shannon Beador‘s ex-boyfriend, her estranged spouse has decided to move on with a familiar face in her circle — another “RHOC” co-star, Elizabeth Lyn Vargas.

Alexis Bellino’s ex-husband, Jim Bellino, and his new love, Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, reportedly share so much in common, including their love for the game of golf.

The lovebirds are the latest occupants of the “RHOC” love triangle and have been dating for about a month. Sources close to the couple disclosed that they met through one of the co-hosts of the “Girls Talk” podcast.

The couple have reportedly been smitten with each other since deciding to take the relationship to the next level.

Per TMZ, there’s no word on if they have spoken about their mutual connection to each other. Jim was previously married to Alexis, and his current girlfriend Elizabeth previously appeared on the 15th season of “RHOC.”

Elizabeth has gotten her fair share of disappointments from romantic relationships, which may explain why her new fling with Jim is intense.

The star has also been trying to find her happy place since finalizing her divorce from her former husband and former CEO and chairman of American Seafoods, Bernt O. Bodal, in 2020.

In her resolve to move on, Elizabeth was held captive by an ex-boyfriend in her Newport Beach Home for long hours in 2022.

As for Alexis, love came knocking in the arms of Beador’s ex-boyfriend, and she is unapologetic about it.

The Blast reported that Alexis insisted she did not break “any girl code,” nor did she owe Beador a thing despite getting together with her ex. In Alexis’ words:

“I didn’t know Shannon, so I did not break girl code. I didn’t owe anyone anything, and I wasn’t doing anything to rub anything in anyone’s face. It was literallytiming, and that’s why it’s reality TV because you cannot write this script.”

Alexis raved about her future plans with the entrepreneur and disclosed that he may get down on one knee very soon. “We have looked at engagement rings. We are talking about the future for sure,” the TV personality claimed.

Alexis noted that her relationship with Janssen has waxed stronger with time, and they both feel like they found a best friend in each other. She added, “Someone we want to ride the rest of this life out with together. It’s pretty amazing.”

Alexis and Janssen reportedly began the romance in early December, shortly after meeting on November 18 during a run-in with mutual friends at Orange County eatery The Quiet Woman. According to an insider, the pair’s past helped strengthen their feelings for each other.

The big day eventually happened in August when Janssen asked the million-dollar question on their romantic getaway to Santa Barbara.

The Blast noted that Alexis announced the news of her engagement on her Instagram page with romantic pictures from their trip and the gorgeous ring in full glare. The reality star’s caption read:

“On Cloud 9. Celebrating months of love and laughter, and looking forward to my forever with you. Every moment together has been a gift. I am so in love with you and the beautiful life we’re building together. And the answer is 100000000% yes.”

Janssen previously described Alexis as the “true partner in life” in an interview weeks before their engagement. He added that the TV star brings out the best in him all the time. He continued saying:

“I tell her she’s perfect all the time, and she is perfect for me. She is confident. She is, and that’s an overused phrase, but she is absolutely as beautiful on the inside as on the outside, and she brings out the best in me.”

Will Jim follow in his ex Alexis Bellino’s footsteps and get engaged to his new partner any time soon? Time will tell!
