Alexis Bellino’s Divorce Settlement Details Revealed: Everything We Know

Real Housewives of Orange County fans have been seeing Alexis Bellino since her much-anticipated return to the show. Lex has already made sure to put Shannon Beador in her place. And made it abundantly clear she is in love with John Janssen and his anaconda. For fans who haven’t seen Alexis in a few years, she has been living a lavish lifestyle since her divorce from Jim Bellino . But thanks to a recent settlement, viewers are getting all the tea regarding exactly how much she has in her bank account.

Alexis Bellino is laughing all the way to the bank

Jim and Alexis were married for 14 years but were like oil and water. During their early time on the Real Housewives of Orange County, the two seemed to be living in a weird Leave it to Beaver alternate reality. Where Alexis was the god-loving housewife and Jim was the boss man. Honestly, it was pretty gross to watch. So when they officially divorced in 2018, the news didn’t exactly rock the Bravo world.

Recently, Alexis’ divorce settlement has come to light thanks to In T ouch , and the amount is a hefty sum. According to the documents, Alexis and Jim agreed to split joint legal and physical custody of their children. Together, they share three kids: James and twins Miles and Mackenna. Both parents also agreed to allow each other to have a say in any major life decisions when it came to the children. And both agreed to allow the other to have daily phone contact with all three children. The settlement read, “The custodial parent shall not monitor the other party’s phone calls with the minor children.” Jim and Alexis agreed not to make “derogatory or disparaging remarks about the other party to or in the presence of, or within the hearing of, the minor children.”

Jim agreed to pay Alexis $6,000 per month in child support. But the former TV anchorwoman also got some other notable wins. Even though the child support will end once each child turns 18, Jim is currently also sending $6,000 for the children’s medical insurance. But Alexis did stipulate she would take out insurance coverage if Jim couldn’t.

Alexis is making a killing as Jim also agreed to pay an additional $10,000 per month in spousal support. The payments started on August 1, 2018. The payments will continue “thereafter until the death of either party or further order of the court, whichever first occurs.” Interestingly enough, there is no note about whether Alexis was to remarry. Jim was also required to take out a $2.5 million life insurance policy with Alexis as the main beneficiary. According to the settlement, the policy has to be in effect as long as Jim is paying spousal support. Honestly, it’s a wonder he can afford to do anything else with his life. Jim, however, did win the San Juan Capistrano, California, home.

Alexis Bellino is taking the purses

Jim also won a house in Dana Point, CA, multiple bank accounts, all the stocks, bonds, and cars in his name, pieces of jewelry, artwork, and his business. But Alexis seems to be living her best life with what she walked away with. All I want to do right now is channel my inner Jennifer Coolidge from Legally Blonde when she says, “I’m taking the dog, dumb a**.” Alexis walked away with a different home in San Juan Capistrano, California, all her jewelry, all her designer handbags and purses, and a $250,000 lump sum. Jim even agreed to take care of all the debt on Alexis’ home, taxes, and an Amex bill.

Even with all this division of the assets, Jim and Alexis have maintained a cordial relationship for the sake of their children. Recently, both parents attended James’ high school graduation and took photos together. Alexis is clearly moving on to bigger and better things in her life, and I have to assume it is in part due to her large settlement payout.
