By Casey Suglia

Alexis Bellino's daughter, Mackenna Bellino, is celebrating back to school in style. The Real Housewives of Orange County friend is the mom to three teenage children with ex-husband, Jim: James, 18, who is now in college, and twins, Miles and Mackenna Bellino, who are juniors in high school and are now attending some big high school events.

How to Watch

Alexis took to her Instagram account over the weekend, where she shared a series of photos of Mackenna, posing with her friends, ahead of her high school homecoming dance. In the pictures, Mackenna can be seen wearing a satin baby blue dress with floral appliqués along the square neckline. She chose to accessorize the simple look with layered gold necklaces, a gold bracelet, a turquoise ring, and neutral block heels. 

Alexis looked so happy to be beside her daughter in the first photo of the series, smiling for the camera as she locked Mackenna into a big side hug. "Hoco 2024," she wrote in the caption of the post, accompanied by four blue heart emojis.

Alexis Bellino's kid Mackenna reacts to Alexis' engagement to John Janssen

Alexis' family is getting bigger since she got engaged to John Janssen in late August. Mackenna showed her support for her mom and her new fiancé, who has three children of his own, shortly after the engagement was announced, gifting her the sweetest bouquet of flowers in honor of her big news.

The mom of three took to Instagram earlier this month, where she posted a photo of the bouquet, filled with hot pink and peach carnations and baby's breath, tucked into a crystal vase. "Thank you for the happy engagement bouquet you created, Kenna!" Alexis wrote over the photo, accompanied by the word "beautiful" and two pink heart emojis.

Alexis Bellino's Children Are Officially Back in School

Alexis had a very exciting summer, which ended in her getting engaged to John. Now that it's over, this school year is looking to be a great one for her kids. Alexis took to her Instagram account on Aug. 20 where she posted two photos of Miles and Mackenna on the morning of their first day of their junior year.

"First day of school for these nuggets," Alexis wrote in the caption of the post. "I love every age but time is going fast now and I miss the car rides driving them to/from school (never thought I'd say that, actually yes I did)."

Days later, she and Jim helped move James into his dorm room at Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California. Alexis took to Instagram, where she posted a reel detailing the move-in process. "Yesterday was such an indescribable feeling," Alexis wrote in the caption of the post. "Proud yet sad. Excited for him, yet in disbelief he's leaving the nest. Energetic, yet want to hold him in my lap and rest like we did 18 years ago. Happy, yet a huge lump in my throat all day. And SO SO proud of him."
