Alexis Bellino Shares a Sweet Message for Her Ex-Husband, Jim, After Her Recent Breakup

Alexis Bellino firmly believes that “family is forever” — even when divorce is involved.

In 2018, The Real Housewives of Orange County alum finalized her separation from Jim Bellino, a West Coast businessman with whom she shares three children. Since then, the former couple has established a co-parenting relationship that is not only effective but also very supportive. Case in point? Alexis’ recent Instagram post in which she promoted Jim’s latest business venture.

The September 30 carousel showed the exes posing inside a commercial car garage with a fleet of vehicles in the background. The first slide captured Alexis and Jim smirking at the camera as they crossed their arms and held a power stance. The second snap featured Alexis sitting atop an old-school cherry-red Chevy as Jim stood on the side.

“We may have pumped the brakes on our marriage, but family is forever,” the OC mom captioned the post. “I am so proud that we’re at a place on our co-parenting journey where we can work together to put the needs of our children first, every day.”

Alexis went on to confirm that the photos were taken at Auto Vault OC, Jim’s newly opened car dealership/storage facility that specializes in classic and unique vehicles

“Congratulations to my entrepreneurial ex [Jim Bellino] on the launch of his newest business,” she continued, “providing SoCal with a high-end sales and storage facility for investment grade vehicles!”

Alexis Bellino calls off her engagement to Andy Bohn

The shoutout was shared about a month after Alexis confirmed her split from Andy “Drew” Bohn. The former ’Wife announced the news in a statement to People magazine on September 5, nearly three years after she accepted Andy’s proposal.

Although Alexis didn’t provide details on what led to the breakup, she insisted the relationship ended on good terms.

“Drew and I have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. Despite this, our love for each other remains strong, and we both sincerely wish nothing but the best for one another,” she said, before referencing the recent death of her mom. “We recognize that it’s in our best interest to pursue separate paths. We kindly ask for your thoughts and prayers for both of our families as we navigate through this breakup, especially considering the recent lost of my mother.”

Alexis Bellino says she and Jim "are not getting back together"

Just a day after confirming her and Andy’s split, Alexis posted a cute family photo with Jim and their three kids: Miles, Mackenna, and James.

“Traditional back to school pic… better late than never,” she captioned the September 6 post. “I HAVE A SENIOR??????!!!!!!!! How’d that happen??? Forgive my mispelling of Sophomore, my mom died 6 days before I made those signs so my mind definitely wasn’t clear. Still isn’t.”

Alexis said Jim had been very supportive during her mourning process, but made it clear she had no intention of rekindling their romance.

“And no, Jim and I are not getting back together,” she wrote. “Let me stop the rumor before it starts. But this man has been here during this darkest, gut-wrenching month of losing my mom.”
