The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Alexis Bellino is getting a divorce after
13 years of marriage.
Though it has been a few years since she was on RHOC, the news about Alexis and Jim took
a number of fans by surprise.
People wondered where they went wrong.
In a joint statement, the divorcing couple is confirming their divorce -- and explaining
it.
In a joint statement to Us Weekly , Alexis and Jim Bellino hope to clear the air.
"It is with heavy hearts," the statement begins.
"That we inform the public of our mutual decision to end our marriage."
That can be a difficult choice to make, and sometimes it is just as difficult to announce.
The statement continues: "But it's important to us that you know we made this choice together,
with love."
That sounds amicable!
That's very promising.
She says they see it as right for them, "and as the best decision for our children's
future."
The statement from Alexis and Jim, who just last year enjoyed a romantic getaway in Venice,
Italy, continues.
"We hold one another in the highest regards as spouses, and especially as parents," the
statement reads.
So they want it clear that this isn't a situation of spite or hatred.
"We have agreed,' they announce.
"On 50/50 custody of the children,"
So it doesn't sound like they plan on waging a custody battle.
They're telling fans this "and we ask that you respect our privacy by not theorizing
about the reasons for our divorce."
So we're not meant to believe that they're both assassins from rival organizations and
have only just learned of this.
Gotcha.
"In recent days and weeks," the statement continues.
"There has been a lot of negative discussion about our marriage and why it is ending."
"Outside of the news of our decision to part ways," Alexis and Jim say.
"There is nothing provocative, alluring, or sordid about the dissolution of our marriage."
That is often the case.
Marriages can begin and end for very mundane reasons.
"Quite to the contrary," the statement says.
"We strongly support each other just as we have since the beginning of our relationship."
It sounds like they're just no longer compatible as partners.
"Our marriage was a good one," Alexis and Jim say.
"But we were never perfect people or spouses."
The statement then goes on to claim that "no one is" perfect.
If that's true, how do they explain Janelle Monae?
"And in this respect," the statement says.
"We were a lot like millions of other married people."
In other words: flawed .
"And," the statement says.
"Just like millions of other married people, we simply grew apart over times."
Hey, it happens.
"There is no ill will or bad blood between us," they reiterate.
"And maybe that's why," they say.
"Absurd rumors about our marriage and future together began when we filed for divorce."
Their argument, here, is that if they'd really been having problems, then there would have
been rumors before their divorce.
(We don't know if we necessarily buy that logic)
"We ultimately want you to feel happy for us," the statement reads.
"Respect our privacy during this difficult time, and pray for our mutual benefit as we
weather this storm."
Alexis and Jim give a shoutout to those lending them emotional support.
"To the fans who have supported us since the beginning, we're grateful for how you cheers
us on," they write.
"We ask that you continue to cheer," the statement concludes.
"As our lives and the lives of our children change and ultimately improve as a result
of this difficult decision."
That is a very reasonable request.
Let's hope that their divorce remains as amicable and thoughtful as it appears in this joint
statement.

Why Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi love divorce rumors - News Today - Duration: 1:50.
Most celebrities loathe tabloid attention, but Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi embrace it, to a degree — because it means their same-sex marriage is viewed as normal
"The divorce rumors came and then we really knew the perceptions had changed," the actress, 45, told Us Weekly on Wednesday
"I'm not kidding. I know it sounds ridiculous, but when that started happening I thought, 'Oh, now we're finally accepted
' We get the same s–t as every celebrity couple." "I thought, 'Wow, this is great that I'm pregnant, not pregnant, divorced, not divorced,' whatever," she continued
"That means there is an acceptance for this." The "Arrested Development" star and DeGeneres tied the knot in 2008 and have been going strong ever since
Still, despite not minding being the subject of the occasional tall tale, it doesn't mean the ladies are thrilled with gossip culture as a whole, especially since so much of what they read is inaccurate
"I was at a newsstand … and there was a cover of Brad [Pitt] and Jen [Aniston]. I literally just stared at it, and I was like, 'They haven't seen each other,' " de Rossi scoffed
"'How is this even a thing? I know for a fact.' I actually took a picture of it and sent it to Ellen and said, 'Can you believe this?' … We avoid it
We don't care."

✅ Bigamist carpenter avoids jail for getting married before his divorce came through after telling c - Duration: 3:49.
A bigamist who went ahead with an unlawful second marriage because he didn't want to lose money he had spent on the wedding has avoided jail
Paul Phibbs had not seen his first wife Kim Hee Jung for 15 years when he and his partner Kerry Hudson decided they wanted to get married
His solicitors initiated divorce proceedings and, thinking it would be a straight forward process, Phibbs and Miss Hudson booked their wedding and reception at a plush hotel
Although he received a decree nisi - the document saying the court does not see any reason why you cannot divorce - the decree absolute, which is the final document confirming divorce, had not come through by the time of the wedding in November 2009
The self-employed carpenter's divorce wasn't finalised until February 2011, 14 month after he had married again at the Harbour Hotel in his home town of Christchurch, Dorset
The 48-year-old was later charged with bigamy and admitted the charge at Poole Magistrates' Court this week.Magistrates told him they had considered a prison sentence, but decided instead to give him a 12-month community order with a curfew for four weeks, 100 hours of unpaid work and £170 costs
A court heard the illegal marriage came to light after Phibbs split up from his second wife, Ms Hudson, and she commenced divorce proceedings
She presented her marriage certificate and her husband's decree absolute to her solicitor who noticed the discrepancy
Phibbs told police his second wife had been aware the decree absolute had not come through but the couple agreed to get married anyway because everything was booked and paid for
But the court heard she denied this and told police she didn't know his previous marriage had not been dissolved
Selina Goddard, defending, said: 'This came completely out of the blue for him last year. This is some ten years after the offence when police contacted him
'He separated from his first wife Kim and hadn't seen her for 15 years. He hadn't made any attempts to commence divorce until he started a new relationship and then tried to track down his estranged wife
'It was his understanding the proceedings were pretty much through. Ms Goddard added: 'He thought it was a matter of months, because of the desertion, and thought the decree absolute was imminent so he and the future Mrs Phibbs set a new date for marriage
'He made efforts to chase it up but in the end they had organised a wedding and put down a lot of money which wasn't recoverable, so they decided to press ahead, taking the somewhat ambivalent view that it would only be a few weeks
'It's not a case where there has been any deception, all parties knew, there was not a sham marriage of any kind
'He hadn't really contemplated how serious it would be, he was more thinking about the costs of the wedding.'
