Alexis Bellino Hasn't Signed Formal Offer for 'RHOC' as She's Weighing Pros and Cons About Return
Alexis left the franchise after season 8.
Alexis Bellino is in high demand for her Real Housewives of Orange Country comeback but hasn't signed on the dotted line despite being presented with a "formal offer." RadarOnline.com has confirmed that "nothing has been signed" when it comes to Bellino — even though her storyline would be one of the juiciest now that she's dating Shannon Beador's ex-boyfriend, John Janssen.
Alexis and John Janssen sparked dating rumors in November. They confirmed their romance last month.
We already broke the story last month — Bellino was approached for Season 18, with a well-placed network insider revealing she had been meeting with producers about the decision; however, she wasn't sure if she wanted to return to the franchise. Page Six was the first to report on the "formal offer," as she hadn't been presented with a physical contract at the time of our story.
An insider told RadarOnline.com that Bellino has been weighing the pros and cons of returning to the highly successful reality television show and "doesn't know if she wants" to be thrust back into the drama.

“I’ll never say never,” Bellino said during Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party weeks later, admitting that joining the cast would inevitably “start a little drama” with Beador. According to Janseen's new lady, she doesn't owe Beador anything.
“Here’s the truth,” she said, “I have never met Shannon, I have never worked with Shannon. I wish her nothing but the best in life.”
Janssen has since begun dating Beador's new 'RHOC' co-star Alexis Bellino.
