The surprise is in the acceptance. Shannon Beador has gone through all the stages of emotions to date. The Real Housewives of Orange County star had to process her ex-boyfriend moving on with Alexis Bellino in a very public way. It was her main storyline on RHOC Season 18.
After teasing an unconventional wedding, Alexis and John Janssen got hitched on Friday, October 3, 2025. Despite neither Alexis nor John being on camera anymore, there was RHOC drama concerning the guest list. A season later, and Shannon was cautioning Jennifer Pedranti not to attend Alexis’ wedding. That situation resolved itself as the RHOC alum withdrew her invitation to the yoga studio owner. But can Shannon really move past the drama at this point?
Shannon Beador wishes Alexis Bellino and John Janssen “good luck” in married life
Alexis and John wed, sans pre-nup, in Laguna Beach in front of 140 guests. The couple had been dating close to two years before tying the knot. And Shannon reacted to it all on the October 23 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
“You know what? A year has passed, so that’s a long time. Congratulations,” she said of the wedding. “I have said publicly it looked beautiful. It looked like a really pretty wedding, so good luck.”
Perhaps Shannon is truly ready to put it all behind her. However, that doesn’t mean that she is open to any cordiality between herself and her former co-star.
“The door is shut,” she said of any potential reconciliation. “It was closed last year.”
Shannon was charmingly single while filming RHOC and Love Hotel. She frequents continental Europe as much as possible to visit her daughter Stella Beador in Paris. The Bravolebrity has plenty going on in her own orbit. And clearly, little need to get involved in others’ drama.
