Todd Nepola, the husband of “The Real Housewives of Miami” star Alexia Nepola, has filed for divorce after nearly three years of marriage, with the paperwork submitted in Florida on April 11. The couple, who got married in 2021 following several years of dating, have not made a public statement regarding their split.
Todd Nepola, husband of “The Real Housewives of Miami” star Alexia Nepola, has filed for divorce after nearly three years of marriage, a union that followed Alexia’s previous relationships and was marked by both love and challenges, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their wedding plans.
The “Real Housewives of Miami” star, Alexia Nepola, is facing a new chapter in her life. Her husband, Todd Nepola, has decided to file for divorce. This news comes after nearly three years of marriage, marking an end to their shared journey. The paperwork was officially submitted on a sunny Thursday in Florida, April 11, to be exact. Neither Alexia nor Todd has made any public statements regarding their separation.
Their love story began with promise and affection, leading them to tie the knot in 2021. Before Todd, Alexia’s heart belonged to others. She was married to Peter Rosello Sr., a name that might ring a bell for those who’ve watched Netflix’s “Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami.” That marriage lasted from 1992 to 1996, blessing them with two sons, Peter and Frankie. Later, Alexia found companionship with Herman Echevarria until 2015, a year before his untimely death.
Alexia once shared, with a sparkle in her eye, why Todd was different from the men in her past. She believed he was the one she could trust, the one to grow old with. “He loves me, and he loves [my son Frankie],” she said, her voice filled with hope during a December 2021 episode.
But love stories, especially those under the glaring spotlight, face their trials. Alexia and Todd’s wedding was no exception. Initially planned for a different time, they had to adapt to the world’s sudden pause caused by the coronavirus pandemic. They eloped in St. Barths, a decision shadowed by the loss of Alexia’s mother, Nancy, to COVID on their very wedding day. Yet, they found joy amidst sorrow, celebrating their union with a grand yacht party, a moment captured in the fifth season of “RHOM.”
Their love was a journey of ups and downs, a sentiment Alexia echoed when reminiscing about their wedding. “It was beautiful to relive the moment,” she confessed to Us in December 2022. They needed that intimate ceremony, just the two of them, after facing so much together.
However, not all fairy tales have happy endings. Before Todd’s decision to file for divorce, whispers and rumors swirled about the state of their marriage. Alexia’s co-stars didn’t hold back their questions during the sixth season of “RHOM,” which aired from November 2023 to March 2024. Alexia found herself debunking rumors about their finances, fiercely defending the stability of their union at the reunion earlier this year.
Todd, on the other hand, seemed to retreat from the spotlight, his presence on the show diminishing. His relationship with Alexia’s eldest son, Peter, had been a focal point in previous seasons, especially concerning Peter’s behavior towards his brother, Frankie, after a life-altering car accident.
As the news of their divorce unfolds, “Us Weekly” has reached out to both Alexia and Todd for comments. The story of their marriage, filled with love, challenges, and public scrutiny, now awaits its final chapter.
