Alexia Nepola, star of The Real Housewives of Miami, has had her fair share of ups and downs both on and off camera. After five seasons of allowing Bravo cameras to capture her life, her husband Todd Nepola filed for divorce in April 2024 after nearly three years of marriage. Alexia expressed shock and heartbreak over the news, but stated that she will find comfort in the support of her friends and family during this difficult time.
This is not the first dramatic event in Alexia’s life. She first married Pedro Rosello in 1987, but their marriage was marred by Rosello’s drug trafficking charges. They later divorced in 1996 after having two sons. Despite their split, Alexia has maintained a good relationship with her ex-husband, who is a great father to their children. Her life took another tragic turn in 2011 when her son Frankie was involved in a near-fatal car accident that left him with permanent brain damage.
During the first three seasons of Real Housewives of Miami, viewers got a glimpse into Alexia’s marriage to Herman Echevarria. However, the couple separated in 2015, and Echevarria passed away from natural causes in 2016. Alexia expressed her deep sadness at losing her husband and the emotional bond they shared, despite being separated at the time of his death. She later revealed in the show’s reboot that Echevarria was gay but had not been able to come out before his passing.
In 2021, Alexia faced another tragedy when her mother passed away from COVID-19 on the same day she was supposed to marry her third husband, Todd. The day that was meant to be the happiest of her life turned into the saddest, as she had to cancel the wedding due to her mother’s illness and subsequent death. Then, in January 2022, her son Peter was arrested and charged with a battery misdemeanor, but the charges were later dropped in February.
Most recently, Alexia’s third husband, Todd, filed for divorce in April 2024, surprising both Alexia and her fans. Despite celebrating Valentine’s Day just two months earlier and expressing their love for each other on social media, the couple ultimately decided to part ways. Throughout all the drama in her life, Alexia has shown resilience and strength in facing the challenges that come her way. Real Housewives of Miami is currently streaming on Peacock for viewers to catch up on Alexia’s journey.
