Old, new, borrowed, blue…but not orange.
Alexis Bellino kicks out her previous “The Real Housewives of Orange County” castmate Jennifer Pedranti from her upcoming wedding to John Jansen, and Page 6 can be exclusively revealed.
Sources say Pedranti received the save the date earlier this year, but when the invitation occurred a few months later, Bellino texted her instead.
“Immediately after the date was sent, Alexis had an unexpected emergency surgery,” explains our source.
“Despite everything she was going through, Alexis contacted Jen before the proceedings to share what was going on. Sadly, she never received a response or check-in from Jen during that time, but this was personally difficult.”
Our sources don’t elaborate on the nature of the medical emergency, but we assure you that the 48-year-old US Bellino is OK now.
The “Rhoc” alumni said they “feeled a really strong bond” with 48-year-old Pedranti, and “I wanted to include her on her special day.”
But “lack of support” Bellino, what she felt when she needed, led her to “reevaluate their relationship,” we say.
Our sources also point out that the bride had to “make some tough decisions about who was included.”
After making her decision to cut yoga instructors from the guest list, we were told that Bellino “reached out” to say, “I felt a change in their connection and felt a certain distance.”
Therefore, the mother of three told Pedranti that it may not be the right time for her to attend the wedding.
“Now, Alexis is focusing on her health, her happiness and the love she’s building with John,” our source says.
“She is grateful for the people who have shown up for her and looks forward to celebrating surrounded by the people around her.”
Our sources emphasized, “Alexis continues to believe that Jen is a good person and only wants the best,” adding, “I hope she can reconnect in the future. The doors are always open.”
Pedranti repeats those feelings, telling us in a statement that “I respect Alexis’s decision and I want nothing but the best for her and John.”
We are said to have some of our current and previous bravery remained invited to Bellino’s wedding with Jansen.
Janssen, former boyfriend of “Rhoc” star Shannon Beador, proposed to Verino in August 2024 after a nine-month date.
