Alexis Bellino<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>dating Shannon Beador<\/strong><\/a>‘s former flame makes for some juicy ‘RHOC’ storylines … but it’s not the main reason she’s coming back to the reality TV show.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ \u2026 <\/strong>Alexis was already in talks with ‘RHOC’ producers to return to the show before she started dating Shannon’s ex, John Janssen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

While Alexis’ return and her new relationship with John seem intertwined, we’re told it’s just coincidental … because by the time they started dating in Dec. 2023, Alexis was pretty deep in negotiations to come back.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

TMZ broke the story … Alexis is returning<\/strong><\/a> for the upcoming season as a friend of the show, more than a decade after walking away from ‘RHOC’ in 2013 as a fan fave.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Alexis and Heather infamously had a nasty falling out on ‘RHOC’ back in the day, but we’re told in the last couple years they’ve rekindled their friendship.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
