Alexis Bellino won’t let online negativity spoil her fun.
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum returned to Instagram this month to address another wave of rumors about her relationship with John Janssen. Alexis told fans she and her fiancé were still very much together and were, in fact, about to embark on a pre-wedding getaway.
Alexis Bellino addresses “rumors” about her & John Janssen
“Don’t listen to the rumors!!!” she declared in the June 9 post. “Although we are not breaking up, like you’ve heard, we are getting ready for an Alaskan cruise. I’ve never done a cold-weather cruise before. I’ve only done the warm cruises. I need to know all of your advice on what exactly to pack. I’m definitely packing a couple of beanies, my warm jacket, my snowboots.”
Alexis said she and her fiancé had booked the trip with Celebrity Cruises and planned to take a helicopter to a glacier, followed by dog-sledding. She asked her followers to suggest other fun activities, as the cruise would be their last big trip before their wedding date.
“It’s our pre-wedding, let’s say, honeymoon kind of cruise,” she continued, “because we probably won’t be doing a honeymoon after [the wedding]. We’re way too busy after that.”

Although she was clearly impressed by the food, entertainment, and ocean views, Alexis admitted she was struggling to adapt to the Alaskan temperatures. She joked about the topic in a June 22 Instagram video of her and John standing on the deck while bundled up in coats.
“I’m dying right now because we just walked outside, and who do you think looks Californian?” she said with a laugh. “People are in bikinis and literally laying out. It’s freakin’ cold! What are they doing? There’s people in bikinis over there! Look at that! And then there’s us.
“I’m so embarrassed,” she continued. “I’m like, ‘Honey, we have to go back to the room and at least put on shorts with a sweatshirt so we look like we blend in.”
Alexis and John got engaged in August 2024 after nine months of dating. The couple plans to exchange “I do’s” this September in a “very unconventional” ceremony. Find out what they have planned for their nuptials.
