Patti Stanger has some worries about her friend Alexis Bellino‘s new relationship with John Janssen.
“Alexis is beautiful. I’ve always known her. She was always nice to me. I just don’t want her to get hurt,” Stanger, 62, said exclusively Us weekly around Real Housewives of Orange County stars the romance between Bellino, 47, and Janssen while promoting her new CW series. Patti Stanger: The matchmaker. “And why would a man buy a $14,000 ring from Van Cleef if he didn’t want to? That’s why I’m worried about the love bombing stuff.”
Stanger was referring to the promise ring that Janssen, 60, gave Bellino in December 2023, shortly after the couple went public with their romance.
“It’s a love bomb moment,” Stanger said of the couple’s dynamic. “You don’t really know each other to do things.”
Bellino and Janssen, for their part, responded insightfully to Stanger’s comments in a statement on Friday Us that they were “confused”. Stanger decided to talk about their relationship “considering she never met John.”
“When you see Shannon with John, he says, ‘I don’t want to be on the show,'” Stanger recalled of Beador and Janssen’s relationship, which was documented on RHOC. “And now he’s with Alexis and he’s like, ‘Look at me.’ Look at me, look at me.’”
Stanger, who starred on “Bravo.” The Millionaire Matchmakerclaimed that her “friends” set up Bellino and Janssen, which she wasn’t happy about as she doesn’t “trust” him, especially when it comes to the exes’ current legal drama.
“Why would you sue a woman who has supported you all this time and paid for almost everything,” Stanger said Us. “I’m calling you on it, slut. Excuse me. I will point that out.”
Last month, Janssen sued Beador for allegedly failing to pay him back after she borrowed money for a facelift. Beador later claimed that she offered to pay her ex-boyfriend back, but he did not accept the offer.
“But he rejected the deal because he didn’t want to sign a mutual non-disparagement agreement,” Beador said during an appearance on SiriusXM Jeff Lewis Live earlier this month. “And that’s standard in most settlements and they say you won’t talk badly about someone.”
In love with the OC? Shannon Beador moved in with John Janssen after her messy divorce from ex-husband David Beador – but didn’t find The One. The Real Housewives of Orange County star and her businessman boyfriend celebrated their first anniversary on June 21, 2020. “A year ago, first date @fableandspirit,” Shannon captioned a […]
While Stanger worries about Bellino as she navigates the rocky road of her new relationship, the businesswoman is preparing to help others find true love with her new show titled The matchmaker.
“[The] “CW gave me free rein to create a show that breaks all love molds,” she said Us. “It’s really exciting. It’s breaking new ground in television. We have Love is blind and we have The bachelor. And even though my co-host is Nick Viall out of The bachelorthere were no shows to teach us anything [this]. It’s like a social experiment. What about the people at home who don’t leave the house and don’t see anyone?”
Patti Stanger: The matchmaker Premieres on The CW on Thursday, April 11 at 8 p.m. ET.
