Alexia Nepola is still fighting for her marriage.
The Real Housewives of Miami mom touched on her pending divorce in the latest episode of Two Ts in a Pod, hosted by The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Judge. Alexia told her fellow ’Wives that she and her estranged husband, Todd Nepola, have taken steps to repair their marriage and have even been intimate since their separation.
“We’ve done it all,” Alexia said when asked about her and Todd's post-split hookups. “Yeah, we love each other. We’re super into each other.”
Alexia Nepola says she didn't see her divorce coming
Alexia confirmed the separation back in April, shortly after Todd filed for divorce. The self-described "Cuban Barbie" said she was completely “blindsided” by his decision as she believed they were doing well.
“For me, it was working,” she said about her relationship. “I just thought that there were typical fights and problems that every couple has. But it’s not how much you fight or how hard you fight, it’s being able to work through those fights and find resolution. And I think that that’s where we have our biggest challenge.”
Alexia sheds more light on her struggles with Todd Nepola
In addition to their communication issues, Alexia said Todd struggled with life in the public eye. She told the hosts that Todd was well aware of her reality TV background but didn’t fully grasp the downsides of fame.
“He knew what he was getting himself into,” she explained, “but I think that once they’re in it, they’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t like this. How do I get out of it?’… I felt like he’s very impulsive and that was the decision (filing for divorce) he took at that moment. And then after being away from each other, I think the distance sometimes is good because you can refresh and you have time to think about things and in a different environment than when you’re at each other’s throats every day, even though that wasn’t the case before.”
Alexia reveals she and Todd are in couple's therapy
Alexia confirmed she and Todd are now in couple’s therapy and are working toward a resolution. Although she was completely heartbroken over Todd's filing, she admitted she wanted him back.
“I’m madly in love with him and I would want it to work out,” she continued. “So that’s why it’s so difficult. But, you know, there’s a lot there, there’s a lot to unpack. But again, I feel that being in the public eye is so much harder, and I think that’s one of the reasons that he’s struggling with this.”
