Love tank on empty.
Vicki Gunvalson slammed former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Alexis Bellino for dating Shannon Beador’s ex, John Janssen.
“Ridiculous and thirsty on both of them,” Gunvalson commented under an Instagram post insinuating Beador, who dated Janssen for four years, isn’t thrilled by the news.
Page Six confirmed on Tuesday that Bellino and Janssen are officially “dating” but are “not boyfriend and girlfriend” yet.
A source told us that they are “still getting to know each other” but have been “enjoying” their time together so far.
Page Six previously reported that Bellino and Janssen were “quickly becoming friends” after a photo surfaced of the two cozying up at a group dinner together in mid-November.
Meanwhile, Bellino and Janssen’s ex Beador have their own complicated history.
Beador, 59, and Bellino, 46, never starred on “RHOC” together, but any sort of friendship hit a bump in the road after Bellino’s ex-husband, Jim Bellino, sued Beador and fellow “RHOC” cast member Tamra Judge for defamation in 2018.
“Shannon is absolutely devastated that John would spend time with Alexis, knowing how much pain and hundreds of thousands of dollars the lawsuit her ex-husband filed caused her,” a source told Page Six in November.
To add fuel to the fire, Bellino and Beador’s tamed down feud heated up after Beador was allegedly heard “bitching” about Bellino just hours before she was arrested for DUI and hit-and-run arrest in September.
Bellino initially told TMZ that it “saddens” her to hear that Beador “may harbor negative feelings or resentment toward me” and denied she had anything to do with her ex’s lawsuit.

However, the insider still slammed Bellino for “running to the press.”
“Shannon wasn’t even on the show with Alexis and has been nothing but kind to her,” the source added. “Alexis is obviously desperate to get back on the show and is using Shannon to do it.”
They claimed that the entire ordeal has shown Beador how “fame-hungry” Janssen is and how he only dated her “to be in the spotlight.”
Beador herself has kept tight-lipped about the romance, but she did post about healing from “a lot of hurts” shortly after rumblings of their new relationship began last month. Beador and Janssen split in November 2022.
Janssen has also not discussed his new lady, but Bellino previously referred to him as her “new friend” to Page Six.
