AceShowbiz - In a candid admission on iHeartMedia's "Ay Por Favor" podcast, 56-year-old Alexia Nepola, a star of "The Real Housewives of Miami," has publicly shared the tumultuous emotions following her sudden divorce filing by estranged husband, Todd Nepola. The news shocked and bewildered Alexia, leaving her struggle to process the end of their marriage.
"It's been three weeks, so I'm still taking it all in and trying to understand, to process it," she said. "For the first week, for the first two weeks - actually, still today, it's been three weeks, and I'm still going back in my head like, 'What happened?' "
She's been retracing the seven years of their relationship, attempting to pinpoint what went wrong. Despite being a self-proclaimed "positive person," Alexia finds herself cycling through the stages of grief, particularly anger, which she acknowledges as part of the healing process.
Todd submitted the divorce papers on April 11, deeming their marriage "irretrievably broken," despite the couple's earlier attempts to address their issues, including their financial situation which had been speculated about during the sixth season of "RHOM".
The couple, who tied the knot on December 16, 2021, did enter into a prenuptial agreement shortly before their wedding, the details of which remain confidential. Amid these personal challenges, Alexia turned to social media to express her heartbreak over Todd's decision but found comfort in the overwhelming support from her friends and family.
Rumors of their financial instability had been a topic of discussion among the RHOM cast, but Alexia vehemently denied these claims, asserting that their moving from a rented condo was unrelated to financial issues. At the season's reunion episode, she further debunked rumors regarding their finances by presenting proof of their apartment lease and payments.
Alexia's story highlights the complex and often painful journey through divorce, especially under public scrutiny. Yet, her resilience and willingness to face her emotions head-on stand out as a testament to her strength in facing life's unexpected turns.
