The Season 7 premiere of The Real Housewives of Miami began with a recap of Alexia and Todd Nepola’s wedding yacht party, followed by delving into the details of their sudden divorce in April 2024, just two years into their marriage.

Cameras captured Alexia’s emotional turmoil right after her separation, where she tearfully confided in Marysol Patton and Julia Lemigova about her side of the story. According to Alexia, everything seemed normal after a wonderful romantic date night with Todd, only to find everything had changed the very next day.

“I got home [and] everything was missing,” Alexia revealed. “He had moved him and his daughter out.”

Owner of Alexia + Frankie’s Beauty Bar, Alexia alleged that Todd had secretly acquired keys to an apartment a month earlier and had been gradually moving out items from their shared home, including shampoo from the bathtub.

“So, I’m, like, freaking out,” she recalled. “Everything’s gone.”

That’s when her 28-year-old son, Frankie Rosello informed her that “Todd’s gone,” as he had been present when her estranged husband vacated their South Florida home.

“He had it all planned,” Alexia alleged, realizing there had been signs, such as Todd rushing her to leave that morning. “He moved out of my house, of our house, with Frankie there.”

Despite the covert exit, Alexia and Todd continued to speak over the next several days, she said, even discussing the possibility of couple’s therapy. Then, another shocker arrived: “Thursday, I get the phone call from my attorney telling me, ‘Your husband filed for divorce.’”

Alexia Nepola reveals she felt “betrayed” by Todd Nepola’s divorce filing

Two days later, the waterworks continued to flow as Alexia sat down with the RHOM cast to spill even more divorce details.

When the women — including Marysol, Julia, Larsa Pippen, Lisa Hochstein, Guerdy Abraira, Adriana De Moura, and Kiki Barth — questioned whether she and Todd had ever discussed divorce prior to his legal filing, Alexia responded, “No, never. There was no fight. There was no nothing. That’s why it’s so painful and, like, I feel, like, so betrayed … I was blindsided.”

Larsa, for her part, asked Alexia if she thought they could “work things out,” to which she replied, “I wish that I could, you know, take all this back and I can fix it and could live with him happily ever after. That’s all I wanted.”

Inside Alexia Nepola and Todd Nepola’s reconciliation

Fast-forward five months, and Alexia and Todd were back together.

Over drinks, a disapproving Marysol called out that she learned of their reconciliation “in the press,” along with the rest of the ladies.

Alexia explained that she had “been kind of hesitant to tell anybody,” but also insisted that she was “not embarrassed” or “ashamed” because she was still “in love with Todd.”

In a confessional, she elaborated, “I mean, it’s hard not to give Todd another chance. And it’s hard not to see Todd or talk to Todd when I’m in love with him. I just feel like Todd and I are not finished.”

When Lisa joined them, Alexia added more context to their reunion timeline, sharing, “He filed for divorce thinking that he was just going to close that chapter of our lives; he was never gonna talk to me again. Two or three weeks later, he realizes, ‘I can’t do this.’ Like, ‘I can’t live without Alexia.’ The truth is, like, we haven’t been able to move on.”

Later, Alexia informed Larsa that she was “not single,” and though she and Todd were working on their relationship, she was still “very upset” by the way in which he left her: “He’s a coward. I mean, I’m not gonna take away from that.”

One topic she and Todd had yet to discuss, however, was the divorce itself.

“I’m afraid to talk to Todd about the divorce,” the Ay Por Favor podcast co-host admitted in a producer interview. “I’m just afraid that it’s gonna start another fight. So, we’re both, like, tiptoeing and walking on eggshells and just having, like, a nice time and being lovey-dovey and not really talking about what we have to talk about, which is the divorce.”
