"The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Alexis Bellino nearly lost two children on July 4th when she left her stroller unattended ... and it rolled into a pool -- this according to security at The Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach, CA.
Sources at the pool tell TMZ that sometime during the holiday celebration, Alexis and her husband Jim were off "doing something" ... and the stroller -- carrying 2 toddlers -- toppled into the pool.
According to multiple security officers on scene, the lifeguard pulled the stroller out of the water with one child still in it. Alexis' husband dove in to save the other one.
But Jim tells us a slightly different story -- claiming, "There was no lifeguard needed or involved."
We're told both of the Bellino children are fine and didn't need medical attention.

Unattended children in a stroller rolling into a pool is NOT an accident, it is neglect. NEVER NEVER EVER leave children unsupervised around water. Responsible parents take precautions and use common sense so no, we don't have to feel like 'the worst parent on the planet'. If you feel that way, there's probably a legitimate reason.
#117 This was not an "accident", this was neglectful parenting!!! You are right, those of us who are 'quick to judge' haven't had something happen to our children that make us feel 'like the worst parent on the planet' because we take parenting seriously. If you feel like 'the worst parent on the planet' then there is probably a reason, like maybe you are. NEVER NEVER EVER leave children unsupervised around water. That's just common sense.
#79 Your comment about her being a Very Good Mum - that was sarcasm wasn't it?! I mean a good mother wouldn't have put her kids anywhere near a pool in a stroller, then not noticed when they fell in until the screams around them got their attention hm?! Since it seems the nannies have all quit perhaps child management classes are in order - wonder if she knows what a diaper is, just curious?! Nah, silly question lol!!
#95 Get real, if he can't put a toy together and has to have his ass wiped for him, he's not putting a brake on a stroller - it's sooooo beneath him lol!! He at least gets credit for jumping in to save one kid - SHE didn't want to spoil her makeup!!
It only gets worse. Alexis and her husband blamed the lifeguard for the accident. Jim was in a cursing tizzy. Alexis was looking upset about her wet cover-up. Ironically, neither parent was holding or comforting the children minutes after it happened. Even their family members were in a state of disbelief on both the poor parenting and the inability to accept accountability.
Did anyone happen to see the episode of them getting ready for church? When the ugly husband was raising his voice to the 2-3 yr olds saying "STOP THIS!!, STOP THAT!!!!....you're acting unacceptable!!" Something to that effect.....HELLO!! They're only 2 or 3 yrs old...he was talking to them as if they were in their 20's. The guy is just gross....and Alexis is just stupid.
Penny, Alexis mother lived in my home town of Hannibal. Penny is a beautiful person with a very kind personality and well respected in our community, unlike her self absorb daughter. I don't know who Alexis was hanging out with, but it sure wasn't anyone I know, because we dress very stylish, wear make-up, and have a little botox now and then.
i was there and saw it happen. the husband was at the pool bar and didnt put the brake on the stroller. he did NOT dive in. the life guard was trying to pull the stroller up and the people in the pool were pushing it out. then he came running up cusing EVERYONE out and was escorted off property of the private club. A*SHOLE!
Check out alexisbellino.com her story is total bs. Jim did not dive in and pull both girls out. I know the man who pulled one of the girls out and he handed the child to her, she should've remembered that! The lifegaurd was present as well, both girls were wailing and terrified.
Everything they both have said has been inconsistent. I, along with several people saw what happened, these two had their backs turned on their children. Thank God for everyone else around. How about some gratitude and thank you's for the people that did help! And thanks for both girls being OK.
This is the kind of thing that happens when you allow semi normal people with no talent in the least well over 45 at all suddenly become some kind of imitation celeb. They forget how to be real people with real responsibly ya know like child care, paying bills, life without daily botox shots, life without ruining your credit etc etc. The born on date for this entire series is well over due and needs to be yanked. It started out mildly amusing moving quickly to tedious, then as quickly going to boring now it's just irritating and shows the reason the country is in the mess it's in terms of over use of credit and excessive living.
He is ugly and he looks pretty fat too! I have a friend who rents them their house. They don't even own that house they show on the Housewives. For a stay at home mom you better have your TWO nannies watch your children closer!
Real housewives, real psychological issues? Read, join the discussions and judge for yourself!

Maybe since they are about to lose their house, they decided to scam this club with an accident??? Why would they be so intent on making a scene about their own negligence? Losers!!!!
I cant believe you are accusing this innocent lifeguard to be responsible for your carelessness. The pimple-faced dad was taking a shots at the bar and the walking boob-job was busy with talking to other guys, not paying attention to her kids. If the lifeguard was not there, they would have drowned. She was the only reason that your kids are alive today! Please apologize to her! Pay more attention to your kids.
