Alexis Bellino Celebrates Twins, Miles & Mackenna’s 18th Birthday
Former “Real Housewives” star Alexis Bellino is feeling extra joyful this season as she celebrates a double milestone: her twins, Miles and Mackenna, just turned 18.
Taking to Instagram, Alexis shared a video of her children’s “small family party,” which included oversized “18” balloons personalized with their names, two matching cakes, and a caricature artist who drew fun pictures for the twins and their famous mom.
In Alexis’ lengthy caption, she emotionally detailed watching her kids step into adulthood.
“Happy 18th birthday to my EXCEPTIONAL twins…I don’t know how it’s possible, but I have all adults now. Miles and Kenna, I love you so much. It’s crazy that God gave me TWO of you at the same time, born one minute apart, yet you are so different, so amazing in your own way, and I’m forever grateful that I have the title of being your “mom.”
She continued, ” I’m so proud of who you’ve become. And so proud of where you are both going!!! I will forever protect you. Forever annoy you. Forever check in on you too much. Forever be your biggest cheerleader. But most of all, I will forever love you more than anyone else on this planet.”
Alexis ended her post by calling her twins her “one halfs” and joking that they are at the age where they don’t need her permission to get tattoos and piercings.
Bellino’s Big Blended Family
Alexis Bellino is a mom of three, having welcomed her children James (19) and twins Miles and Mackenna (18) with her ex-husband Jim Bellino. She’s since been welcomed into a new family after marrying John Janssen this October, proudly taking on the role of stepmom.
Like Alexis, Janssen is a dad to three children named Jessica, Juliet, and Joseph, with whom he shares with his ex-wife.
In an exclusive interview with People, following their rustic chic wedding in Laguna Beach, California, Alexis shared that each child played a “meaningful role” on their big day. Additionally, to symbolize the families coming together, Alexis and Janssen gave their daughters “beautifully handcrafted bracelets that Bellino co-designed with Valenzuela,” while their boys received “custom bracelets from Kenton Michael Jewelry.”
The couple’s children also walked down the aisle with them, as the reality stars read heartfelt vows to their kids as well as to each other.
