Real Housewives of Orange County: Alexis Bellino

The Real Housewives of Orange County will welcome a new 'wife' to the dramatic group this season. Thirty-two year old, socialite Alexis Bellino joins Tamra Barney, Lynne Curtin, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough and Gretchen Rossi hoping to spice things up (as if they needed any help in doing that).

Alexis is a stay at home mom, residing in Newport Coast, Calif. with her husband, Jim Bellino, a self-made entrepreneur. Alexis and Jim have three young children – three-year-old James and 20-month-old twins Melania and Mackenna. Originally from the small town of Hannibal, Mo., Alexis is now living the Southern California dream in one of the most prominent and envied areas of Orange County. Alexis keeps herself busy by being the best wife and mother she can, and when she does have a free moment, she likes to work out to keep herself looking and feeling her best.

  • Before she became one of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Alexis Bellino was Alexis Barry and her 2004 divorce from Jeffrey Barry could make a TV show on its own.

    Alexis accused Jeffrey of being "bipolar," drinking "excessively," and threatening to hurt her. She even got a Temporary Restraining Order against him.

    Read Alexis Bellino's Sensational Divorce File

    Alexis filed for divorce on November 10, 2003, five weeks after she moved out on Jeffrey, which came after just 15 months of marriage. With no kids and no real estate to fight over, the split should have been simple.

    But then came Alexis' claim of harrassment. She said Jeffrey hacked into her computer and impersonated her in emails sent to her new boyfriend....who was also married, by the way.

    Jeffrey denied he ever threatened Alexis or impersonated her on the Internet. He did proudly admit, however, that he'd called Alexis a "$2 whore!" It was an opinion that was "likely not to change," he told the court.

    The Barry divorce was finalized June 12, 2004. She later married wealthy businessman Jim Bellino and is living the good life with him in Newport Beach, CA.

  • Jim Bellino's CRIMINAL RECORD says:
    Arrested by the FEDs in 2000 for Fraud. And Alexis “Traditional values” in 2003 meant sleeping with guy in the gym while her 1st husband (NOT JIM) was hard at work.

  • I find it funny that this is a Television show its tv. Hello? If everyone on was secure with themselves they wouldn't need to talk trash. They make the show more diverse. Americans like drama and it is what sell. Why are you taking Alexis and her husband so personal? Work on yourselves people.These comments are a perfect example of our messed up society. Sorry people keep it moving with all this negativity! Just watch the show and appreciate that you can afford cable.

  • These people are tragic. He is a gross, fat, fundamentalist christian slob. They are actually worse than Tamra and Simon and that is really saying something. Vicki by far has the best husband and Lynne's is pretty decent as well. Slade sucks, but I like Gretchen.

  • GAWD. Alexis is a total brainless trophy wife. She is shallow, hypocritical, self centered and is completely controlled by that gross chinless wonder. They tried SO hard to get in the show by rubbing elbows with the cast--and it worked! How can a devout Christian be "high maintenance" as she puts it? And do Christians remind those they "love" how much their gifts are worth? "Seven Carats, seven carats, SEVEN CARATS!" Geez the man said it so many times, it put the CHEESE in BALL! Cripe! The chick doesn't work and requires a nanny--two, to be exact. Pathetic. And her gorilla of a hubby hasn't changed a diaper because he's her "King"? OMG I threw up in my mouth when I heard that. Christians my ass. Those knockers of hers scream SATAN! LOL!!!! And it isn't jealousy. I think Gretchen is a complete knockout and I think shes awesome. But that Stepford couple gives me the heebee geebies!!!!

  • Jim is such a control freak. I heard that he makes Alexis put his dong in her mouth after he pulls it out of her butt. That's gross.

  • I'd love to get a look at Alexis' cans and maybe give her snatch and bung a good tongue lashing. Then maybe a Cleveland Steamer.

  • Do Alexis and that bloated, brain dead pig of a husband of hers seriously think they are Christians? What kind of Christian man pimps his wife's big fake boobies around the way he does? Methinks these two materialistic, shallow, hypocritical attention whores need to familiarize themselves with the concept of Christian chastity...what a pair of Satan-spawned harlots these two are!!

  • Alexis may be rich, pretty and well shaped, but all that does not give her CLASS.... a real classy lady would not order a cadillac margarita in that condescending manner,and give me a break when she has a few moments to herself she takes a nap. She has two nannies that do everything even when they go out....oh she holds them sometimes. Then that really silly trip with her girls for a mani-pedi, Alexis you are so self-centered that you don't see all the contempt that people have for you,,,not jealously but pure contempt, and the Christian part...God really does not take kindly the way you exposed yourself, and the funniest thing about you is the reasons you give to justify your actions,,,get some class

  • These 2 (Jim and Alexis) are the biggest hypocrites. Jim has always been a huge ahole and narsissistic. Alexis claims to be a great mother yet she has 2 nannies??? Excuse me but the woman doesn't WORK outside the home. She is all about herself and so is Jim. They are a perfect match.

  • Alexis, Christians husbands don't obsess on their wives looks to the point of wanting their wives to undergo implants. And Christians don't wear clothes revealing clothing in public, and their husbands don't approve of it either.

  • Alexis, I think your my favorite new housewife!!! You inspire to keep working out and I love your choice of clothing. One complaint...why did Jim keep repeating the size of your diamond necklace over, and over, and over? He sounded so insecure about himself. His comment on the size of the gift ruined the moment. Looking forward to new footage of you and your beautiful children.

  • I just met Alexis and Jim in Las Vegas. I can't say a bad word about them - they were very approachable and down to earth. As a huge fan of the show I was thrilled to get a picture with them and chat about the show. Alexis is gorgeous and Jim was so polite and charming. Love them!
