Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola is still devastated by her divorce from estranged husband Todd Nepola.
Todd, 52, filed for divorce from the Bravolebrity, 57, in April but, while speaking on a panel at last weekend’s Bravocon in Miami, Alexia insisted, she was ‘still married.’
‘I am not dating anyone,’ she said. ‘I’m still married. I’m wearing my ring.’
Later, she said she would quit the Real Housewives franchise if it meant she and Todd could work things out.
‘I love Todd,’ Alexia told Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea’ podcast co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real.
‘I’ve always said that we love each other. It was just [that] we have had a lot [of issues because of] the show,’ the reality TV star said.

She went on to note that her ex is ‘not such a fan of the show,’ and he ‘doesn’t like it.’
‘It’s hard to do these shows on your own if your husband doesn’t support it,’ she explained, explaining that the reality TV series put ‘a lot of pressure’ on them.
The couple started dating in 2017 and tied the knot in 2021. Alexia was heartbroken and blindsided when Todd filed for divorce in April.
‘I still love him, and we still love each other,’ the Real Housewives of Miami OG star – said on the April 29 episode of 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 is her third husband and their relationship started a year after her 12-year marrage to Herman Echevarria.
Her first husband, Peter Rosello, Jr. is the son of Pedro ‘Pegy’ Rosello, a Cuban-American drug trafficker during the 1980s. Their union lasted from 1992 to 1996.
‘I am not dating anyone,’ she said. ‘I’m still married. I’m wearing my ring’; they are seen on December 8, 2022

Rosello and Alexia share two sons from their four-year marriage, Peter Rosello III, 31, and Frankie Rosello, 27.
‘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 on her podcast.
‘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.’
