Alexia Nepola revealed that she and her estranged husband, Todd Nepola, have hooked up in the months since his divorce filing while appearing on Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp‘s podcast on Saturday.
While also confirming that she and Todd, 51, are attending couples therapy in an effort to mend their marriage and explaining the major issue Todd has with their relationship, the 57-year-old Real Housewives of Miami cast member said that she and her estranged spouse have “of course” been intimate since he filed documents to end their marriage.
“We’ve done it all,” Alexia admitted on the June 15 episode of Two Ts in a Pod, via Page Six. “We love each other [and] we’re super into each other.”
“For me, I would want [to get back together] because I’m madly in love with him … so that’s why it’s so difficult,” she noted.
As Alexia attempts to make her marriage to Todd work through therapy, she shared that he is not a fan of the attention that comes with her role on RHOM.
“Being in the public eye is so much harder and I think that’s, like, one of the reasons that he’s struggling with it,” she explained. “He kind of knew what he was getting himself into but I think that once they’re in it, they’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t like this.’”
According to Alexia, she believes that Todd, like “a lot of men,” is “afraid” of the control she has in their marriage due to the fame she’s received from the show.
As RHOM fans will recall, Alexia revealed she was “shocked and heartbroken” after Todd filed for divorce in April, claiming their marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
“I will take comfort in the fact that my friends and family will be by side supporting me during this difficult time. I’m praying for better times ahead,” she wrote on Instagram that month.
Then, a short time later, while discussing her and Todd’s split with co-host and co-star Marysol Patton, 57, on their Ay Por Favor podcast, Alexia said, “I don’t want to have any anger, but I understand that anger is also one of the grieving [stages].”
She also said she was trying to stay focused on “all the beautiful times” she shared with Todd, who she married in December 2021, and doing her best to remain a “positive person.”
While Alexia has stated that she believes fame is to blame for her split from Todd, an insider told Us Weekly that their breakup also “[had] a lot to do with her sons,” seemingly giving a nod to Todd’s past issues with her oldest son, Peter Rosello.
No word yet on when The Real Housewives of Miami season seven will go into production.
