RHOC Alum Alexis Bellino Reveals She’s a ‘Grandma’

Real Housewives of Orange County alum Alexis Bellino has a large family that’s only getting bigger. In her former marriage to ex-husband Jim Bellino, she welcomed three kids, two of which are twins. And because of her fiancé John Janssen, who similarly has three kids from a previous marriage, the couple has a blended family of eight.

Not to mention that the housewife is an avid animal lover who said in the past that she had over 20+ pets.

Speaking of a growing family, Alexis just announced that she is officially a grandma. And no, not in the way that most would think of when they hear that word.

Alexis Bellino is a “grandma” to a French Bulldog named Zombie

The reality TV star recently took to social media to share a picture of herself at a restaurant, posing with a French bulldog that her fans have never seen before.

“Meet Zombie (or lil Z as grandma calls her). She’s the newest addition to our family and now #furbabies officially take the lead in headcount vs kids,” she shared in the Instagram caption.

She didn’t elaborate on how exactly Zombie makes her a grandmother. Lil Z could be the baby of her other dogs Biscuit and Price, or a puppy that her kids have decided to add into the family.

Nonetheless, her IG reveal should make it clear that since her shocking RHOC exit, Alexis has been enjoying a normal life. Since revealing her departure in December 2024, she hasn’t shared whether she’d even want to return to the series. So, as for now, fans can expect more grandma pictures and plans for her upcoming wedding with John.
