Tamra Judge Dishes on Alexis Bellino's Picture-Perfect, Drama-Free Wedding
Tamra Judge is offering an exclusive look into Alexis Bellino's marriage ceremony with John Janssen.
“It was incredibly picturesque. The setting was rustic. It took place at a Laguna Beach ranch, a venue I hadn't visited before. One wouldn't realize the ocean was nearby; instead, it felt like being deep in a forest, sheltered by numerous large trees — I believe they were Oaks. Around 150 guests were present,” the 58-year-old Judge shared during the October 9 Thursday installment of iHeartRadio’s “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast. “A special ritual was performed involving the children.”
Judge elaborated that the event was “quite unconventional,” featuring no customary cake cutting or bouquet toss. “The atmosphere was brimming with affection,” she commented. “So much affection. It was simply wonderful. Exquisite.”
When asked by cohost Teddi Mellencamp if the wedding was “devoid of conflict,” Judge responded, “Yes, a day free of drama. Without a doubt.” Judge insisted that Bellino was far from a “Bride-zilla,” further stating, “She remained incredibly composed. The following day, she hosted family and a few intimate friends for a breakfast or brunch gathering. It was truly lovely.”

Judge wasn't the sole Bravo figure to receive an invitation. She clarified that Heather Dubrow was also invited, but was unable to make it because of a family commitment involving her husband, Terry Dubrow.
“Heather received an invitation, but she had a family day for her daughter's university, which prevented her from attending,” Judge stated.
Bellino and Janssen exchanged vows at a secluded location in Laguna Beach, California, on Friday, October 3.
“Our vision was for a dreamlike, romantic, rustic chic ambiance with natural sophistication,” Bellino informed People in a statement issued the following day. “Our chosen location provided the ideal blend of inherent charm and seclusion, situated between the canyon and the coastline. It truly felt as though our celebration was happening in a hidden coastal garden.”

The pair first ignited speculation of a romance in December 2023, following his previous relationship with her The Real Housewives of Orange County castmate, Shannon Beador. Bellino and Janssen appeared together publicly for the first time on a red carpet and became engaged in 2024.
Prior to the wedding ceremony, Bellino commemorated the occasion with Janssen and their closest companions at a “nearlyweds” celebration held at the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in September.
“This past weekend surpassed all my expectations and dreams,” Bellino exclusively shared with Us Weekly regarding the couple's festivities. “John and I desired an experience that combined luxury with profound intimacy, and Las Vegas offered the ideal setting. The instant we entered our spa villa, it was as if we'd stepped into a fantastical realm, rich with opulence, yet firmly rooted in affection.”
Although Bellino initially felt hesitant about making her relationship with Janssen public online, the Bravo personality ultimately expressed that she didn't wish to hold back from proudly showcasing her partner.
“I felt a degree of apprehension, largely because our relationship has faced such scrutiny,” Bellino confessed to Us in 2024. “It began as a friendship, evolved into something deeper, and now we're here. [And] social media can indeed be quite malicious. So, it's been a challenging journey, but we've finally chosen to confront the situation head-on and proceed with confidence.”
