Alexia Nepola ‘still thinks there’s a chance’ she can fix her ‘irretrievably broken’ marriage to third husband Todd Nepola after he blindsided her by filing for divorce in Miami-Dade County Courthouse on April 11.
‘I still love him, and we still love each other,’ the Real Housewives of Miami OG star – turning 57 this Friday – said Sunday on her iHeartMedia podcast Ay Por Favor.
‘It’s not because we don’t love each other, but it’s just very sad that, I guess, we couldn’t figure out a way to fix things. And that’s why I was in such shock because I’m a fighter.’
Alexia thought ‘things were good’ and admitted she’s ‘devastated’ but ‘pretending to be okay’ admitting: ‘I cry a lot. I stay busy which helps me a lot. I just can’t afford to be in bed. That’s not how I heal.’
Nepola (born Figueredo) originally began dating the 51-year-old Current Capital Real Estate Group CEO in 2017 – a year after her divorce from second husband Herman Echevarria after 12 years of marriage.

The ‘Cuban Barbie’ and Todd signed a prenuptial agreement on December 10, 2021 settling all financial matters – six days before their lavish wedding at the luxurious hotel Eden Rock in St. Barts.
‘Even though we were married for two years and three months, because I count every day, you just can’t help yourself but to go back to those seven years and say, “What went wrong?”‘ Alexia marveled.
‘I find myself lost. It’s been very, very difficult. It’s been very painful, hurtful, and I’m just getting through it.’
Nepola added: ‘I’m a positive person, so I try to think about all the beautiful times we had together — all of our beautiful trips. I don’t want to have any anger, but I understand that anger is one of the grieving stages.’
The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip star went on to call her visibly moved co-host Marysol Patton ‘my rock’ because she’s been there for her ‘every day.’
Alexia also receives support from her two sons – Frankie Rosello, 27; and Peter Rosello, 31 – from her four-year marriage to ex-husband #1 Pedro ‘Peter’ Rosello, which ended in 1996.
‘[They’ve been] by my side,’ Nepola gushed.
‘I just believe that the only way to heal is through love. So, I’m very lucky to have that.’

The Alexia + Frankie’s Beauty Bar co-owner gave a shout out to her RHOM castmates who have checked on her amid the divorce.
‘That’s the beauty of our show,’ Alexia said.
‘Even though we say things to each other that we don’t like, at the end of the day, when I need them, they’re there. After my news broke out about two weeks ago, Larsa [Pippen] was one of the first ones to call me after Julia [Lemigova]. Everybody called me, texted me. They’re all there for me. They check up on me. Honestly, that’s what I love so much about our franchise.’
Just two years earlier, Todd publicly gushed that Nepola was ‘the most amazing woman I’ve ever known’ writing on Instagram about how he would ‘spend the rest of my life showing you how grateful I am for you. For us. I love you always and forever.’
