Alexis Bellino Rescinds Ex ‘RHOC’ Castmate’s Invite To Her Guest Focused Wedding

Alexis Bellino has cut the guest list for her upcoming wedding to John Janssen, and her former “Real Housewives of Orange County” castmate Jennifer Pedranti sadly did not make the cut.

The wedding, which was initially echoed to be a big party and guest-focused, is now to be an intimate event. Many former castmates and close friends of the couple remain invited to share in the joy of the union, with news of only Pedranti being uninvited currently.

Alexis Bellino is tying the knot with John Janssen, who previously dated “RHOC” co-star Shannon Beador. This fact caused feuds on the show before Bellino’s exit.

Alexis Bellino Sensed A Shift In Connection With Jennifer Pedranti

Bellino, while making preparations for her third wedding and reviewing her guest list, decided to uninvite Pedranti. Although a save-the-date was sent to the yoga instructor, when the actual invitations were finally sent out months later, Pedranti did not receive one.

After cutting her off the guest list, Bellino reached out to Pedranti, letting her know that she sensed some distance between them and a shift in their connection, also adding that it might not be the right time for her to attend her wedding.

The reason behind this decision was revealed as the pair barely clashed on the show. A little while after the save-the-dates were sent out, Bellino had to undergo an emergency surgery. Details of the procedure were kept behind the curtain, but assurances are that Bellino is thriving.

Reports from Page Six explain that Bellino had informed Pedranti about what was happening with her health-wise but did not receive any response or check-in from her co-star, and this was “personally difficult.” 

Bellino wanted to include her in her special day. However, that incident made her feel unsupported by Pedranti, and she had to take time to reevaluate their relationship and make the difficult decision.

The Ex Co-Stars Had No Bad Blood Between Them

After deciding to tone down the event from a guest- and friend-focused one to an intimate gathering, not everyone could be included. The last medical emergency Bellino faced caused a lot of rethinking, and she has decided to focus on her health and the love she is building with Janssen.

Bellino still believes that Pedranti is a good person and does not wish her ill. She also hopes that in the future, they can reconnect, moving past this circumstance, as that door is always open.

The TV star is grateful for those who have shown up and stood by her through tough times, and she is looking forward to celebrating her special day with them. Pedranti, on the other hand, reportedly says she respects the bride-to-be’s decision and wishes her and Janssen nothing but the best.

Jennifer Pedranti Also Has Her Wedding Planned

 PEOPLE reported that Pedranti had an emotional moment a few weeks ago with her daughter as she talked about marrying fiancé, Ryan Boyajian. On an episode of “RHOC,” Pedranti is seen taking her 13-year-old daughter, Everliegh, on a spa date to ask her to be her maid of honor.

The two shared a sweet moment talking about family, marriage, and her relationship with her father. Everleigh, while in tears, said that it was weird to think of her mom getting married again, but clarified that she was not against it.

Pedranti explained the reasons why she wanted to marry Boyajian, saying she feels he is her partner, and assured her that nothing will change with their family.

She then asked Everleigh to be her maid of honor, saying, “I want to marry my best friend and show you the best version of your mom, and I want to do that with you by my side,” to which she responded in the affirmative. 

The heartfelt moment ended with the pair sharing a long hug and saying ‘I love you’ to each other.

Alexis Bellino And John Janssen Had Huge Wedding Plans

Earlier reports show that Bellino was looking to prioritize her friends on her special day, claiming that the day would not be all about her and her lover. She spoke about the nature of the ceremony on her podcast, saying that the wedding would be about spoiling her friends.

The Blast covered the story, reporting that Bellino said in the same podcast, “I think that’s why John and I are the most excited, because it’s just a big party. We’ve got a lot of surprises for you.” Although the surprises she spoke about were not revealed, she noted that they had friend-focused events planned.

Their pre-wedding events included merrymaking with their closest buddies, tagged “nearlyweds,” which is basically a bachelor and bachelorette party with their small circle of friends.

Celebrations with their friends were not taken lightly, as they were treated to a party in Las Vegas and a bridal retreat in Scottsdale.

Alexis Bellino Left ‘RHOC’ Amid Battles With Her Lover’s Ex

Janssen had previously dated “RHOC” co-star Shannon Beador before getting together with Bellino. This move caused a lot of drama between the ladies on the show. Bellino participated in the Bravo series as a full-time cast member for seasons 5 to 8 and returned as a friend of the housewives in season 18.

The Blast reported that earlier this year, the ladies fought over Janssen, but that was not the beginning of their clashes. Beador reportedly blamed her co-star for her ex-husband, Jim Bellino’s 2018 defamation lawsuit. Beador stated that the experience was traumatic, and she couldn’t stand to be in the same room as Bellino.

Bellino had a challenging time on the show, too, and her frequent altercations with Beador affected other cast members; therefore, she was not asked to return for season 19.

The TV star did not take the exit to heart and shared a positive message on her Instagram, addressing her exit and quoting Romans 8:28 in her caption.

Wishing Alexis Belliano a happy and blissful marriage!
