Wedding bells will not be ringing for Alexis Bellino and Andrew “Drew” Bohn, as Pvnew can exclusively reveal that the pair have ended their engagement.
“Drew and I have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum, 46, told us Tuesday.
“Despite this, our love for each other remains strong, and we both sincerely wish nothing but the best for one another.”
Bellino — who accepted Bohn’s proposal in December 2020 — explained that the duo came to the realization that it’s in their “best interest[s] to pursue separate paths.”
The former Bravolebrity — who starred on “RHOC” from Seasons 5 to 8 — asked for “thoughts and prayers” for both sets of families as they “navigate through this breakup.”
The timing is especially difficult for Bellino, whose mother, Penelope, died early last month.
“Momma, you are finally free. You can walk again, cook, dance, hold a glass, talk, hug, laugh…you are out of that horrible body that kept you prisoner for the past three years,” Bellino penned in a heartbreaking Instagram tribute.
“You put up the strongest fight I’ve ever seen. My promise to you is that I will make sure the UCLA brain donor program finds out what robbed you of your beautiful life at such a young age, and we will help others so that your torture was not in vain.”
Bellino revealed her mom’s health struggles to her followers in July 2021, explaining in a gut-wrenching post at the time that Penelope had been battling an “undiagnosed” illness.
The reality star — who has also appeared on “Below Deck” and “Marriage Bootcamp: Family Edition” — was previously married to Jim Bellino from April 2005 to August 2018.
The exes share three children: James, 17, and 16-year-old twins Miles and Mackenna “Kenna.”
Alexis revealed last October that one of her twins was transgender and introduced him to the world.
“I had stopped posting for the past few months due to this transition in Miles’ life, but he’s now ready to ‘come out’ and to use this platform to stop any hate or questions,” she explained at the time.
“I refused him for a while, but now I know Miles truly wants this. He’s tired of the misgendering and confusion people have, so we are setting the record straight and hopefully bringing clarity.”
Alexis — whose hyper-religious marriage with Jim often caused controversy — made sure to note that she was “so proud of Miles.”
“We are all human and we are ALL equal,” she added. “I am 100% fully supportive of my son. I hope you will be too.”
