Alexia Nepola from Real Housewives of Miami is back to smiling.
Just two weeks after her husband Todd Nepola filed for divorce, the 56-year-old Bravo star made her first official public appearance. She joined her close friend and co-star Marysol Patton to co-host a drag brunch at HK Hall in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen. Nepola looked radiant in a strapless, gold-sequined jumpsuit as she enthusiastically supported drag performers, engaged in playful banter with Patton and emcee Janelle No. 5, twirled for the crowd, and answered some fun questions.
Nepola expressed her gratitude towards her RHOM costars, including Larsa Pippen and Adriana de Moura, for their support during a difficult time. She highlighted the close bond they share, despite any conflicts on the show. When she needed them the most, they were there for her. After her news broke out, Larsa was one of the first to reach out, followed by others like Julia Lemigova. The caring gestures, calls, and messages from her costars meant a lot to her. This support and camaraderie among the cast is what she values the most about being part of the franchise.
Nepola expressed gratitude towards de Moura, but also made a playful comment about her. She joked that Adriana might be nicer to her in the next season. Nepola described Adriana as someone who is kind when you're feeling down, but can turn mean and jealous when you're happy and successful. This behavior is what Nepola referred to as being a "hater."

We regret to inform you that Todd, aged 51, has filed for divorce in Miami on April 11 after being together for almost three years. Shortly after, Alexia shared on her Instagram stories that she was taken by surprise. She expressed her shock and sadness, stating, "I am devastated that Todd has decided to end our marriage."
"Alexia is a big believer in love and is very romantic. She is going through a tough time right now," a source shared with Us magazine recently. Another source added, "She was completely unaware and there were no warning signs. Alexia thinks he purposely kept her in the dark about his feelings towards ending the marriage, as he knew she would try to change his mind."
What do you think is the most unforgettable moment in Housewives history?
Throughout season 6 of RHOM, Alexia faced rumors about her marriage and Todd's finances, but she denied all speculations from the other women. Todd had disagreements with Peter, Alexia's son from a previous marriage, over the care of his special needs brother Frankie. According to a source, Peter tried to warn Alexia about Todd.
Despite the challenges, Alexia remains confident and strong. She shared at a recent event that her grandmother once told her she was "born a star," and her parents always believed in her. Growing up with supportive Latina parents who encouraged her to believe in herself, Alexia feels empowered to face any obstacles. She credits her strong upbringing for helping her overcome difficulties in life.
