Alexa PenaVega is pregnant with her and husband Carlos PenaVega’s fourth baby.
"Expressing our love for adventures, Alexa, 35, shared on Instagram on Friday, November 17, along with photos from our maternity shoot. "Here we come, baby! Number four!" In the pictures, Alexa looked stunning in a sparkly pink spandex suit and a mint green furry coat, while Carlos, 34, sported ripped jeans and a layered shirt. One photo captured Carlos wrapping his arms around his wife, gently cradling her growing stomach. In the second photo, Alexa proudly showcased her beautiful bump as Carlos held up four fingers."
Numerous friends of the couple flooded the comments section to congratulate them.
Vanessa Hudgens exclaimed, "The celebration won't end! Congratulations, lovesss!" Meanwhile, Candace Cameron Bure showed her excitement, saying, "Absolutely incredible news! Congratulations!"
Carlos and Alexa officially became husband and wife in 2014, and famously decided to combine their surnames, Pena and Vega. After enjoying two years of marital happiness, they joyfully welcomed their first child, a son named Ocean, who is now 6 years old. The couple's family grew even more in subsequent years, with the addition of their son Kingston, now 4, and their daughter Rio, who is 2 years old as of 2021.

The PenaVegas, in their pursuit of building a family, have also found the opportunity to collaborate onscreen. They have appeared together in multiple Hallmark projects such as Enchanted Christmas, Love at Sea, Love in the Limelight, and more. In a conversation with We magazine in February, Alexa expressed her excitement about working alongside her husband, describing the experience as "amazing." According to her, Hallmark has provided them with tremendous creative freedom, enabling them to bring forth projects that they genuinely love and take pride in. She further noted that when they first started working with Hallmark, there were not many instances of spouses collaborating onscreen; however, Hallmark was willing to give them that chance. While nowadays it may be more common to see husband-wife duos in Hollywood, six years ago, it was not a prevalent trend.
Alexa also clarified that the bond between her and Carlos has not diminished after nearly a decade of marriage — it has only grown stronger.
"We don't say this in a cliché or silly way. It's just that we genuinely rely on each other. Could he handle things alone? Could I handle things alone? Sure, but I crave his love," she shared with Us. "I truly depend on his support, especially in the industry and world we exist in. It's essential to surround yourself with individuals who bring out the best in you, and we do just that for one another."
