Alexis Bellino celebrated Thanksgiving with her ex-fiancé Andrew “Drew” Bohn — but that doesn’t mean they’re reigniting their romance.
“Alexis and Drew held a joint Thanksgiving dinner so their kids could celebrate the holiday together,” Bellino’s rep, Spencer Lubitz, tells Pvnew exclusively.
“They’re prioritizing their children’s happiness as they navigate this post-engagement chapter of their lives as two friends.”
A source further clarifies that the two are “not back together.”
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum, 46, shared photos of her family’s Turkey Day festivities — which included Bohn — in an Instagram post Thursday.
“Grateful. Thankful. Blessed,” she captioned the slideshow, which featured a photo of Bohn holding a large piece of uncooked meat and another snap of him posing with Bellino’s 16-year-old son, James.
Bellino’s reunion with Bohn comes shortly after she got to know John Janssen, the ex-boyfriend of “RHOC” star Shannon Beador.
“John Janssen and I are two people who met by happenstance,” Bellino told Pvnew earlier this week.
“We are discovering that we’re in similar places in our lives, as divorced parents both emerging from recent heartbreak because of relationships ending.”
Bellino emphasized that any speculation that she and Janssen are anything more than “new acquaintances” would be “very inaccurate.”
She added, “I look forward to hanging out with my new friend.”
Bellino and Janssen caught Bravo fans’ attention after the two were spotted looking cozy during a group dinner at The Quiet Woman, a favorite haunt of Beador’s in Newport Beach, Calif.
Despite Beador’s noted disdain for Bellino, the latter explained that her newly formed connection with Janssen was not made in spite.
“Other than one incident in which I witnessed her shouting obscenities at me from across a restaurant, immediately prior to her very unfortunate arrest, Shannon Beador and I have never worked together or interacted,” Bellino shared, referring to the hours leading up to Beador’s DUI in September.
While the mom of three — who shares James and 15-year-old twins Miles and Mackenna with ex-husband Jim Bellino — has been enjoying the company of Janssen and Bohn as of late, she’s keeping her options open as she dips her toes back into the dating pool.
“I don’t want anyone controlling, but I don’t want anyone too passive,” she recently told Pvnew of the qualities she hopes to find in her next partner.
“I definitely am looking for someone who is spiritual,” the proud Christian continued. “They don’t have to be super successful, but I just need someone driven and motivated.”
As for why she called off her three-year engagement to Bohn, Alexis revealed that the August death of her beloved mother, Penelope, was one factor.
“The death of a close person like your mom either makes a couple or breaks a couple,” she said. “And, unfortunately for me, it broke us.”
In September, Alexis exclusively broke the news to Pvnew that she and Bohn chose to split. She did mention, however, that the pair will move forward with fond feelings for each other.
“Drew and I have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple,” she said at the time. “Despite this, our love for each other remains strong, and we both sincerely wish nothing but the best for one another.”
