Patti Stanger Expresses Concern Over Alexis Bellino and John Janssen's Relationship Dynamics

Patti Stanger has some concerns about her friend Alexis Bellino’s new relationship with John Janssen.

Stanger, 62, exclusively shared with We about Real Housewives of Orange County stars Bellino, 47, and Janssen’s romance. She expressed her worries, saying, “Alexis is gorgeous. I’ve always known her. She’s always been nice to me. I just don’t want her to get hurt.” Stanger also questioned the sincerity of Janssen's actions, mentioning, “And why would a man go buy a $14,000 ring from Van Cleef if he wasn’t going for it? So I worry about the love bombing stuff.”

While promoting her new CW series, Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker, Stanger highlighted her concerns for her friend's well-being in the new relationship.

Stanger mentioned the promise ring that Janssen, who is 60 years old, gave to Bellino in December 2023, not long after they made their relationship public.

"It's like a gesture of affection," Stanger commented on the couple's relationship. "They are still getting to know each other."

Us has contacted Bellino and Janssen to hear their thoughts.

Before getting together with Bellino, who will be back on RHOC for season 18, Janssen was in a relationship with Shannon Beador. Beador has been part of the Bravo series since season 9, and they dated from June 2019 to January 2023.

Shannon Beador and John Janssen's relationship, as seen on RHOC, caught Patti Stanger's attention. She noted that when Shannon was with John, he seemed uninterested in being on the show. However, now that he is with Alexis, he craves attention and wants to be noticed.

Stanger, known for her role on The Millionaire Matchmaker, revealed that her friends were the ones who introduced Alexis Bellino to John Janssen. This matchmaking did not sit well with Stanger as she admitted to not trusting him, especially considering the legal issues involving his exes.

Stanger expressed her disbelief at the idea of suing a woman who had supported you and paid for most things. "Calling you out on that, sorry to say, but that's just not right," she added. "That's the one I will speak up about."

Last month, John Janssen sued Shannon Beador, accusing her of not repaying him after lending her money for a facelift. Beador, on the other hand, stated that she did offer to repay Janssen, but he declined the offer.

Shannon Beador revealed on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live that she turned down a deal because she didn't want to sign a mutual non-disparagement agreement. She explained that in most settlements, this agreement prohibits speaking negatively about someone.

Patti Stanger expressed her concern for Alexis Bellino as she embarks on a new relationship. Meanwhile, Stanger is preparing to help others find love through her new show called The Matchmaker.

Patti Stanger shared with Us that The CW has given her the freedom to create a show that will challenge traditional ideas of love. She expressed excitement about breaking new ground in television, noting that while shows like Love Is Blind and The Bachelor exist, there are not many teaching moments for viewers. The show, cohosted by Nick Viall from The Bachelor, is described as a social experiment aimed at those who may be struggling to meet people outside of their homes.

Don't miss the premiere of Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker on The CW on Thursday, April 11, at 8 p.m. ET.

Editor's P/S:

Patti Stanger's concerns about Alexis Bellino's new relationship are understandable. Janssen's past legal issues with his exes, including the lawsuit against Shannon Beador, raise red flags about his intentions. Stanger's observation that Janssen's behavior has changed since dating Bellino, becoming more attention-seeking, further fuels her doubts. The expensive promise ring may be a gesture of affection, but it also suggests a rushed commitment that could be a sign of "love bombing."

Stanger's concerns highlight the importance of caution and thorough research when entering a new relationship, especially after a public breakup. Her advice to proceed with caution and to be aware of the potential for manipulation is valuable. It's also crucial for Bellino to prioritize her own well-being and to seek support from trusted friends and family if she has any doubts about the relationship.
