Alexis Bellino and John Janssen's romance is as sweet as, well, an orange.
In fact, right after The Real Housewives of Orange County star started dating the businessman in November 2023 after a chance meeting, the couple immediately knew they had found their soulmates.
"It gets better every day," Alexis exclusively told E! News earlier this month. "We both are kind of like 'pinch me' in the fact that we truly found like a best friend and someone that we want to ride the rest of this life out with together. It's pretty amazing."
And nearly one year since they made their relationship official, Alexis and John have already started planning their future wedding.
"We have looked at engagement rings," Alexis confirmed to E!. "We are talking about the future for sure."
The lovebirds haven't been shy about showing off their love on social media. From taking tropical trips with their blended families to romantic date nights and celebrating holidays together, Alexis has treated fans to a behind-the-scenes look at their sweet bond.
And despite ruffling some feathers by dating her RHOC costar Shannon Beador's ex, Alexis is confident fans will get a better understanding of her and John's relationship when the reality series returns for season 18 later this week.
"People think we're doing this as a facade and it's like no, this is reality and we are in love," the Bravo star noted. "Our kids are a group now, our dogs are acclimated, so we're moving forward."
