The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 friend shared an update on her living situation with John when she paid a visit to Bravo Headquarters on September 12. 

"I mean, we pretty much live together right now, anyway," Alexis said in the video at the top of this post about the couple's current living arrangement, which technically is that they each have their own house. "We bounce back between both homes."

And even as the two plan their wedding, Alexis and John intend on keeping both of their properties for one very important reason. 

"We decided we're going to keep both homes. I have twins in high school still. We don't want to uproot anybody from their normal, so we're gonna keep both homes for a while," she said, referring to her youngest two kids Mackenna and Miles Bellino. 

Alexis also noted that "when the twins graduate, we'll decide then."

"Of course, we're gonna buy a home together when we decide to not have both homes, but, until then, we're just back and forth," she concluded.

Every Sweet Moment of Alexis Bellino & John Janssen's Romance

In another moment from her visit to Bravo HQ, Alexis revealed new details about the moment when John popped the question.

Alexis previously shared that her boyfriend of nine months proposed when the two took a trip to the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. 

"It was super exclusive, super romantic," Alexis said about the proposal. The RHOC friend said that John proposed when the two were at dinner.

She continued, "We were talking about our whole relationship of the past nine months. We were both welling up with tears a little bit, and emotional, and just how happy we were. And he was just like, 'I can't wait anymore.' And he was holding the ring, and he didn't know when he was going to propose, during that time... He just said, 'I just love you,' and I don't even remember anything he said now because you just forget... We were just he and I."

"It's laughable, because I keep saying that I was not prepared at all — I didn't have the hair, the makeup, the outfit isn't what I would have chosen," Alexis added, noting that she's gotten a  lot of love from her nearest and dearest since announcing the news. "We had only positive from friends and family about it. Everyone knew it was coming."
