Alexis Bellino confesses some secrets about her new relationship with John Janssen.
The Real Housewives of Orange County the star revealed to costar Tamra Judge and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp during the June 14 episode Two Ts in a Pod podcast that she and her new beau, 62, have sex “more than” four times a day.
Bellino, 47, detailed the start of her relationship with Janssen — the former boyfriend of her castmate Shannon Beador — and shared that for the first six to seven months of their relationship, they were both sober. This revelation prompted Mellencamp to question whether they were sober the first time they slept together.
“Yeah…why is everyone drunk the first time they have sex?” Bellino said.
The 56-year-old judge asked, “How many times a day do you have sex?” Mellencamp, 42, chimed in to add: “If you say four like Larsa [Pippen and Marcus Jordan]I’m going to miss it.” (In January, then-couple Pippen and Jordan revealed during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that they had sex “five times a night”.)
“Well, it’s more than that,” a shy Bellino told Mellencamp and Judge about her love life.
“I told him I didn’t know the human anatomy could do that,” he continued. “I keep telling him I’m going to have to do, like, CPR.”
Bellino went on to explain to the co-hosts that their relationship is different because she stays home almost every night to be with her three children.
“So we can’t stay every night together unless he wants to come to me,” she said. “I will come to his house twice a week, I will stay there. And then one night a week, we’re really apart.”
She then quickly ended the conversation because she was worried that his and her children would hear the conversation.
Bellino and Janssen started dating in the fall of 2023, and soon after he became Instagram official on Christmas Day — for the holiday, he gifted her with a $16,300 promise ring.
Prior to their relationship, Bellino was married to Jim Bellino for 13 years before splitting in 2018. The former couple have 16-year-old twins, Miles and Mackenna, and a 17-year-old son, James.
Meanwhile, Janssen previously dated Bellino’s co-star Beador. The former couple were together for nearly four years before splitting in November 2022. Janssen is the father of two children from a previous marriage.
At the time of his separation from Beador, Mr RHOC The star exclusively told PEOPLE that she was “blindsided by the breakup.”
