Alexis Bellino is giving a new look at her jaw-dropping engagement ring from John Janssen.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

The Real Housewives of Orange County friend, who announced in August that John had popped the question after nine months of dating, recently stopped by Bravo HQ to share new details on the memorable proposal. As she described the "romantic" evening (more on that below), Alexis also gave a close-up view of her stunning sparkler. 

The giant, cushion-cut diamond appears surrounded by a halo of smaller diamonds and is situated on a silver band. "It's a cushion, and that's about all I want to say about it," Alexis shares in the video you can watch above. "We've both been married before, so, obviously, we eliminated those shapes from our selection process and this is what we chose." 

She added about the engagement ring, "This was my favorite but it's definitely a wow-zer, so I'm definitely very blessed."

Toward the beginning of the video, Alexis showed off her gorgeous piece of jewelry, joking, "It's just a diamond! Just a little thing." 

When did Alexis Bellino and John Janssen get engaged? 

John proposed to Alexis on August 28 during a romantic getaway in at the San Ysidro Ranch Santa Barbara for their 9-month anniversary. 

"On Cloud 9, celebrating 9 months of love and laughter, and looking forward to my forever with you," Alexis captioned an Instagram post celebrating the occasion. "Every moment together has been a gift. I am so in love with you and the beautiful life we’re building together. And the answer is 100000000% yes."

Alexis Bellino details John Janssen's "very romantic" proposal 

In the video above, Alexis shared more about John's dreamy proposal. 

"It was super exclusive. It was very romantic," she says in the video. "He honestly went to the restroom and came back [when] we were at dinner and [...] we were talking about our whole relationship of the past nine months and we were [...] getting emotional, and he was like, 'I just can't wait anymore,' and he was holding the ring." 

Alexis notes that John "didn't know when he was gonna propose" but was apparently taken by impulse. "He just said, 'I love you,' and ... I don't even remember everything he said now." 

Alexis also shares that she's had "only positive" reactions from friends and family following the engagement news. "Everybody knew it was coming. We've been talking about it quite a while."
