The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Alexis Bellino and fiancé John Janssen are celebrating their upcoming nuptials with their inner circle.
The couple collaborated for a joint Bachelor and Bachelorette party — a.k.a their “nearlyweds” party — at the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, bringing together many famous pals, including Bravo personality Jo De La Rosa and husband Taran Gray as well as McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys’ Galyna Saltkovska.
“This weekend was everything I dreamed of and more,” Bellino exclusively told Us Weekly of the pair’s celebration. “John and I wanted something that felt luxurious but also deeply personal, and Las Vegas gave us the perfect location. From the moment we walked into our spa villa, it felt like we were stepping into a fantasy, filled with glamour, but grounded in love.”
Bellino gushed that one of her “favorite moments” from the trip included a quiet morning in the villa on Saturday, September 6, with Saltkovska where they rocked matching Printfresh “Viva Las Vegas” robes.
“We were in our matching robes, getting our glam done, just the two of us,” she recalled. “There was something so grounding and beautiful about it. It reminded me how lucky I am to be surrounded by women who uplift me and make this journey so special.”
The feeling was mutual with Saltkovska, who gushed that the morning with Bellino is something she will “always carry” with her.
“We weren’t just getting ready, we were connecting,” Saltkovska exclusively told Us. “No cameras, no chaos, just two friends supporting each other through one of the biggest weekends of her life. It was calm, beautiful, and so real.”
Saltkovska called the trip “unforgettable,” adding, “From the private glam morning with Alexis to the wild energy of darts and mini-golf, it was the perfect balance of luxury and fun. And that’s what Alexis and John are all about, living big, loving hard, and including their people in every moment.”
De La Rosa, meanwhile, shared that the weekend was a “beautiful reflection” of Bellino’s ability to bring people together.
“No matter where we were, it was all about the love in the room. You could feel it,” De La Rosa exclusively told Us. “From the second we arrived in Las Vegas through our final brunch, it felt like every detail was designed to make memories. We laughed until we cried, toasted with champagne, and celebrated love in the most stylish way possible. Only Alexis could make Vegas feel both glamorous and heartfelt.”
Bellino and Janssen confirmed they were dating around one year after he ended his nearly four-year relationship with RHOC’s Shannon Beador. After less than one year of dating, Janssen popped the question to Bellino in 2024. (Alexis was previously married to Jim Bellino, with whom she shares son James, 19, and twins Miles and MacKenna, 16.)
“Whether we were sipping cocktails or cheering each other on along a mini golf course, every part of this trip had a piece of us in it, fun, love, laughter, and a little bit of sparkle,” Alexis told Us. “I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate this next chapter.”
