Alexis Bellino's Recent Relationship History
The update on Alexis' dating life comes after she and her former fiancé Andy “Drew” Bohn broke up and called off their engagement in September.
She issued a statement at the time, which read in part, "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. We recognize that it’s in our best interest to pursue separate paths.”
More recently, Alexis spoke about the breakup in an interview with Page Six, revealing that the death of her mother, Penelope, made her realize it was time to end things with Andy.
"The death of a close person like your mom either makes a couple or breaks a couple,” Alexis said. “And, unfortunately for me, it broke us.”
Alexis also acknowledged her mother's passing when she first announced that she and Andy were no longer together. More specifically, she stated, "We kindly ask for your thoughts and prayers for both of our families as we navigate through this breakup, especially considering the recent [loss] of my mother."
Further elaborating on the split in conversation with Page Six, Alexis noted that she was able to "recognize" that she and Andy ultimately weren't compatible. "I felt it was better if we just take different paths for now and he agreed,” she added. “I just know it was the best decision for us.”
