Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino’s on-camera reunion is coming sooner than Bravo fans think.
In Us’ exclusive sneak peek of the Thursday, October 1, episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra Judge is inviting the cast to a special party in honor of her Vena CBD company.
According to previews, some former RHOC cast members are invited, including Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Quinn Fry, Jo De La Rosa, Lizzie Rovsek and Alexis, 49.
“Wait, so Braunwyn is here. Did you know that?” Shannon, 62, asks. “Is Alexis coming? I don’t give a s***.”
While Heather Dubrow confirms she heard Alexis may be en route, Jennifer Pedranti can’t believe a reunion may actually be happening.
“Wait, hold on,” she says. “Is [Alexis] coming?”
Shannon replied, “I don’t care. You guys, I could give a s***.”
Alexis and Shannon’s history has been juicy — for lack of a better term. After breaking up with Shannon in 2023, John Janssen moved on with Alexis.

Amid her whirlwind romance with John, Alexis returned to RHOC for season 18 in 2024 and often butted heads with Shannon. (Never forget, “There’s the door Shannon Beador.”)
Alexis later confirmed in December 2024 that she was not asked to return to the show for the following season. She still got married in October 2025 during a romantic wedding ceremony attended by Tamra, 59, and other Bravo stars.
“You guys, they got married, and it was in People magazine two hours later, [so] priorities?” Shannon previously said on an October 2025 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. “I looked at the photos. It looked pretty.”
She added, “I don’t [care]. Time heals everything — and it makes you see more clearly.”
Before Alexis arrives at the party, Emily Simpson is offering support to Shannon by practicing some possible situations.
“Let’s go through the scenarios,” she shares. “Alexis walks in with John. What do you do?”
Heather, 57, chimes in, “Nothing! You live your normal life.”
Although Carmella Garcia never filmed with Alexis, she makes it clear that she will be on Shannon’s side if drama ensues.
“I am loyal to the bone,” she says. “I’m going to support Shannon now to the end of time. If you got to drop-kick a whole Housewife, I’m down.”
Watch the party unfold when The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream new episodes the next day on Peacock.
