Alexia Nepola might leave “The Real Housewives of Miami” one day soon — but only if it means saving her marriage to her estranged husband, Todd Nepola.
The Bravolebrity, 57, opened up about her relationship with her soon-to-be ex-husband on Saturday, telling Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real at the Bravo Fan Fest event in Miami that many of their relationship troubles stemmed from her involvement with the show.
“I love Todd,” Alexia said. “I’ve always said that we love each other. It was just [that] we have had a lot [of issues because of] the show.”
“He’s not such a fan of the show. He doesn’t like the show,” she continued.
Alexia went on, saying that the show placed “a lot of pressure” on their relationship.
Todd filed for divorce from Alexia after two years of marriage in April, claiming that their union was “irretrievably broken” in the filing.
Alexia responded to Todd’s filing by claiming she was “shocked and heartbroken” over her husband’s decision to split.
“I am shocked and heartbroken that Todd has chosen to dissolve our marriage,” she wrote via her Instagram Story at the time. “I will take comfort in the fact that my friends and family will be by my side supporting me during this difficult time.”
The self-proclaimed Cuban Barbie later shared she felt “lost” in his absence.
“I don’t want to have any anger, but I understand that anger is also one of the grieving stations … oh, stages,” she said. “Yeah. I don’t even know what I’m saying. Because I find myself lost.”
Despite their breakup, Alexia revealed she and Todd have since hooked up.
The estranged couple were also spotted on two separate vacations together over the summer.
