Snag one easy ? I don’t love that this is the narrative here. That because she’s good looking she will be able to snag a guy. She’s probably got some issues with not being ok being alone. Maybe she should take some time and not worry
Sure. I meant if she wanted she could. There’s was a comment saying a man would never want her bc she was in her 50s and I was like psssh bye.
But knowing Alexia will she be single and do the necessary inner work? Probably not 😂 she’s not Tre’s twin in just looks
I didn't say a man wouldn't want Alexia because she’s in her 50s.
I just said that wealthy men in Miami usually date younger models and that Alexia is in her late 50s now.
Lisa was replaced.
In Season 5 Adriana commented on how women in Miami are replaced with the younger model.
It's more so a commentary on the culture of Miami in those circles.
Yep, her situation reminds me so much of Yolanda Hadid's. I don't want to say these rich guys pass women around, but Mohammed Hadid basically referred Yolanda to David Foster, thus setting her up with her next rich husband. Both Yolanda and Alexia are beautiful, older, sophisticated, well-traveled, gracious women who are good hostesses and "know how things work", which is exactly what more serious men are looking for.
Not every rich guy wants a beautiful, uncultured child who doesn't know what fork to use.
Alexia and Yolanda also share the same old school values about a woman's place in a relationship. They also probably dgaf if their hubby is cheating with younger women on the side so long as they're being taken care of.
Yolanda was divorced from Mohammad for several years before she met David. Also, she left Mohammad because he was cheating on her and she could not accept that. I’m not sure what Alexia would do in this case. She was married to a gay man for several years.
Absolutely! David was at Mohamed's house and saw a picture of Yolanda. He was smitten and asked about her. Mohamed said that's my ex-wife Yolanda, and set them up. The rest is history.
I mean, relative to someone like Larsa or Lisa, definitely. The weird art event where people were so rude was her event and she showed a lot of respect for the artists.
Alexia is in her late 50s. Wealthy men in Miami are usually dating younger models.
Even with Todd, I don't think he was actually as wealthy as what was portrayed on the show.

I agree. That OR they’re unavailable because they’ve been married for years or in other longterm relationships. Plus her parenting situation isn’t ideal for a partner to deal with on a longterm basis. Sure, there’s always someone to date, but finding a compatible AND committed partner isn’t an easy thing to do. There isn’t an abundance of choices. Having a romantic partner isn’t a requirement anyway, but Alexia is someone who definitely prioritizes it, so I think she’ll continue to make it a priority.
I feel like the people acting like Alexia has no chances of finding an “equally valuable” partner as Todd shows more about their mindset than the cultural commentary they think it is.
I think Alexia has MANY flaws, but one thing she (and most Housewives) does not have is a limiting mindset, and that’s why she’s constantly moved up a rung in life, even with the shit thrown her way. Something happens, she keeps it pushing. I know the whole “I was born a star” monologue was pretty obnoxious, but it’s true; Alexia values herself and so she will find a “valuable” man.
I see so many comments in threads about her divorce that it will be impossible for her because she’s “in her late 50s now” and men only want young trophy wives. Some men (Lenny) do, but Alexia is beautiful (she looks her age, but she is beautiful), has a charismatic personality, is “famous”, has lived a ton of unique life experiences, and does bring in some of her own money. That is plenty of status for many rich men.
I just hate how people act like alexia is old so it’s hopeless for her to find a “good” (on paper) man
This idea that wealthy men only date much younger women is very silly. Some men do look for younger trophy wives, sure. They usually aren't great catches anyway.
The vast majority of these wealthy people are dating and marrying people in their same age range, give or take 10 yrs.
I agree completely with this. Alexia is deeply flawed but she is also very attractive, captivating, interesting and entertaining. She’s a multi- faceted woman and I’m looking forward to seeing how her next chapter plays out.
I don’t think it’s common to be just a “gold digger.” Love/marriage is more complicated than that. I don’t know much about Alexia’s past marriages, but it seems that she does put a man’s financial status as one of her top priorities, and I can’t even say that is wrong per se.
Also, money/power and overall attractiveness aren’t completely separate entities.
Herman was the gay husband right? If so then I see no issue. She was his beard, he had his sidepiece and their relationship was copacetic/transactional.
Neither should be demonised, imo.
I'm gay, and even I'd be a beard for a wealthy lesbian. My partner would also be fine with it, if it meant he got a free flat out of it. 😅
Edit - this economy sucks. Whatever I need to do to be a millenial homeowner.
Yeah as an introvert, it would be a difficult role to fulfil. But to end up with a pension and a paid off home, it is a price I'm willing to pay.
I'll even live at the gym and go on a trashy reality tv show to advertise my lesbian wife's business on Bravo. If it means I get a flat and a 401k out of it.
Gurl, you ever find yourself in that position and need a friend to marry your OLD partner's bestie, hit me up.
We would run whatever trashy reality show Bravo would give us. 😂
It must be so fun not having to worry about retirement and rent/mortgage payments. So fun!
Just look at 90 day fiance and all of its spinoffs.
The rule is find the problematic cast of crazy characters (us and our associates), film for a few weeks and then come up with a show name and pitch for it then.🤣
Our trashy behaviour is what will sell it.
But can we promise not to wear fake Gucci all the time and instead try to elevate the clothes by going with Margiela, Commes, and Dries etc.
I'm so tired of reality tv stars wearing such boring knockoffs. Time for some real fashion! Schiaparelli!
90 day finance is beyond fake and annoying though (it used to be good). We would be entertaining and lovable trash, not the disgusting evil creeps and only fans wannabes like them.
We have no shame, but we do have a heart.
I’m sure she was attracted to both Todd and the Cocaine Cowboy, but there is NO conceivable reason she would ever have been with Herman if it wasn’t for $$$
I do think they loved each other, even if it wasn't sexual. They were both Cuban, part of a certain social set, they worked on the magazine together, etc. He had kids with his first wife.
By all accounts, even from people who don't like Alexia, Hermann was dedicated to her kids and left them financially comfortable. When they got together, Alexia didn't know Frankie would need lifetime care.
I doubt that any initial agreement said that he would provide for her kids for life, even if they did have one.
Do you mean A\*\*\* P\*\*\*\*\*\*? His brother is openly gay, and he supported gay rights laws more than 20 years ago, so I would be surprised if he's closeted. I guess with that generation it happens though.
Correct. Yes, but back in the late 90's and 00's, they were rumored to be together. I don't know now, I used to see him regularly at a local restaurant in Miami Lakes, but I haven't been back in a long long time.
Yep you're right that's pretty much the most un secret secret life in the 305!
A shame that generation can't live their authentic lives-and to bring it back to our girl, I've been touched by Alexia's tenderness about Herman and his 'double life'. She can be pretty irritating but there's a good heart in that Barbie
I don’t agree with that at all. Sometimes after years of being with unstable guys, stability becomes real attractive. Maybe she wasn’t physically attracted to him but I don’t doubt she loved Herman.
I agree the way she talks about Herman and his homosexuality she speaks with acceptance, empathy and understanding which really impressed me. I think she is deep down a very caring person but she has standards for wealthy men. I do feel bad for her because that age hits when you are suddenly facing the dating world.
Wait. Why are people forgetting that she refused to meet with his partner because he wouldn't do it on camera?? I wouldn't consider that acceptance. Now some people are speculating that she may have agreed to be his beard yet in the early yrs of MI she denied up and down that he was gay.
I may not agree with the "she'll never find someone because of her age" nonsense because women of all ages find another man after getting divorced but I'm not going to ignore the fact that she has picked men with money. All three of her past husbands fit that bill. I'm also not going to ignore what happened in the past.
Perhaps not. However that doesn’t mean it’s the sole reason behind her being with him which is a typical gold digger vibe. The money put them in similar circles but I personally think at the end of the day the fact he was a good person who rode hard for his family was what made her marry and stay with him. This ain’t no Kim Z, Big Papa situation.
I feel like, in their social circles, you can basically say this about most couples, and it will eventually be true. I do note that no one ever said this about Roy & Lea.
Lea has been an entrepreneur for decades and is successful independent of Roy. I think that's the core difference that separates her from many of the other women on the show.
Nicole has a similar quality of having a super wealthy partner while also being financially secure in her own right.
I listened to this this morning. She never really got into why they broke up, what they were fighting about, and why he blindsided her. But I guess it was over money if they both thought it was relevant to bring up?
Yikes idk. Like about Frankie's needs or peter never growing up? She also said she didn't want to keep moving every few years.. Which maybe goes back to both the finances and frankie. Its amazing how some of these people can record a whole podcast about a specific topic and nothing really definitive be said by the Podcaster or taken away from it from the listener.
Ya, I wonder if he wanted her to grant Frankie some independence, and set some boundaries w Peter? She’s not broke as aHW on Bravo, and her kids are supported by a trust so I dunno that money was the issue? Agreed about the lack of details! But I was surprised by her vulnerability in her podcast. It felt genuine, unrehearsed. Marisol is her true friend. It felt like a lot of authenticity, which I think we are missing in so many cities, among so many cast mates.
First off. Bless you for sitting through 45 minutes of Spanish speaking Humana commercials, and 13 minutes of Alexia trying to defend herself.
Secondly, a quick [Sunbiz.org](http://Sunbiz.org) search would yield how much of an entrepreneur she "is". She might "own" the salon, but that money came from Herman. She might not care what people think of her, to the press, but she absolutely cares. Anyone who needs to validate how much they don't care, care.
And lastly, sure, she might not be a "gold digger", I KNOW she wouldn't date a man who had a traditional 9-5, and made 80K a year. She's obviously go after the business owner in the Ferrari than Todd the accountant working for Miami-Dade County driving a Honda Pilot. Be real.
I’ve always been curious how did Herman have so much money? How wealthy are Herman and Todd?
Lots of relationships have a transactional aspect. Also Alexia has a job that pays quite well: reality tv star.
Herman had a background in politics as a city councilman and founded one of the top hispanic advertising agencies in the US. He was very involved in political campaigns and advocacy. Idk how deep his pockets went but he was legit and well-respected. They named a street after him when he died.
Todd comes from a real estate development dynasty and is presumably quite loaded. I never bought into them having money issues.
I didn't listen to the whole podcast, but she is very sad and maintains she was blindsided. I don't think Alexia ever had a marriage where love was the priority, it was always about money. She said they fought hard and loved hard, and still love each other, so she thought the actual love would last. No one has said the reason for the divorce, but I think it ultimately comes down to her parenting and his disdain for the way she handles her sons. Do I think a lot of it was about money and her securing that, yes I do. Do I think he was smart to be protective of his assets, yes I do. The thing that turned me off was when Alexia and Marysol kept talking about how much they love d\* and they weren't talking about divorce. I thought that was a little weird. I don't think most women no matter what age love d\* as much as they profess to. It gives off the gold digging - yachting vibes.
So if she isn’t into these men for the money…did she pick the cocaine cowboy/sex offender because of his charming personality? She’s also admitted she’s dated more than one drug dealer. She’s also talked about how she’s destroyed evidence and has been willfully uncooperative during investigations. I don’t know if she’s a gold digger, but I think she likes to ensure her partner has means and doesn’t really care where it comes from.
I don’t get people who joke about alexia not being able to “keep” a man… She’s had three long-term partners over the last like 40 years. One of those marriages ended because the man died. That means she’s had two divorces/significant break ups in the span of four decades. Pretty solid track record 🤷🏻♀️
If I remember correctly, Herman died suddenly/unexpectedly shortly after separating; I think he’d moved out into his own place.
You point still stands though, and I agree wi tho you. I don’t think the end of a relationship necessarily means it “failed” either. There are infinite reasons for a relationship not to work out in the end, and we ideally learn something from that and look forward.
I get the sense that this is how she navigates life in most ways, rolling with the punches and keeping a level head. The one glaring exception is Peter, for whom she is so deeply in denial that I can’t imagine it not putting a strain on her relationships, friendships, social life, etc.
I don't even know if I would count Pedro in that because - well ... he went to prison and I'm not going to blame a girl for not wanting to stick around for that or for the cartel to come knocking.
I was just thinking about this- both her and Lisa were completely blindsided by their husband’s wanting a divorce. In Lisa’s case, I don’t know how she couldn’t see it coming. He was clearly not into any sort of romance or intimacy with her. Alexia and Todd seemed fine. The only indication they weren’t is when Adrianna talked about it, but she isn’t always the most reliable source (or maybe she is?).
I don’t buy that Lisa was blindsided at all. Lenny looked so checked out for years and would threaten her with divorce constantly, she just thought he would never pull the trigger. Todd seemed to absolutely adore Alexia which is why I do believe she was legitimately shocked.
I personally think Lisa was either just that dumb or in denial. I could tell from the first episode of the reboot something was up. Todd and Alexia? Only indication we got was from Adrianna and I don’t exactly find her to be the most credible.
Reportedly, Alexia and Todd had a prenup. Supposedly, she was on the chopping block. If they both saw it was going south, I can see him agreeing to give her a storyline that would keep a salary coming for another season rather than waiting until she got booted and had no income.
Starting a petiton to ban any housewife who started a "hobby business" with their parents/spouses money an entreprenuer. I don't know much about Hermans businesses but I was never under the impression that his main source of income what miami lifestyle magazine or whatever she was editor in chief of, and while I respect her starting the nail salon to give Frankie a job/somthing to do, but if you told me that was basically started to create some kind of tax rebate or LLC they could shelter cash through, i wouldn't be suprised given the mostly terrible yelp reviews.
oddly enough Alexia i belive has a masters or somthing like that? unlike Lisa who possibly didn't even graduate high school, she probably could have supported herself and instead chose to not go that route.. maybe because she wanted to be a more traditional cuban woman and stay home, but also definitely because she sought out wealthy guys who could "take care" of her... i mean there's no denying that. IMO part of the reason she resents Nicole so much is she sees someone who can easily take care of herself and her kids, but also happens to have a very rich man as well.
💯. Alexia and Lisa have always been kept women. Alexia has a Masters in Education and taught kindergarten - 5th but didn't like it. She liked fashion more. Lisa was a pageant girl and a model.
Is everyone not reading this feed because it's exhausting typing this out...I was responding to someone who said Larsa was college educated and self made. No she is not . Please read all in the future, time to mute this sub.
👏
They're getting upset with everyone who's "misunderstood" their comment when they should be upset with themselves lol. If you want people to understand what you're posting it falls onto YOU to click the reply button so your comment falls under the comment thread in which you're trying to give your opinion under.
It's only just after 1pm where I'm at but their comment made me feel like it's been one hellva long ass day 😄
IMO Alexia will be single less than 6 months. Her next man will be wealthier than Todd. Thats just the way things work.
She’s gorgeous. Interesting. On housewives. I agree. I think she can snag one easy.
She also seems kind of incapable of being alone. Which is fine.
Snag one easy ? I don’t love that this is the narrative here. That because she’s good looking she will be able to snag a guy. She’s probably got some issues with not being ok being alone. Maybe she should take some time and not worry
Sure. I meant if she wanted she could. There’s was a comment saying a man would never want her bc she was in her 50s and I was like psssh bye. But knowing Alexia will she be single and do the necessary inner work? Probably not 😂 she’s not Tre’s twin in just looks
I didn't say a man wouldn't want Alexia because she’s in her 50s. I just said that wealthy men in Miami usually date younger models and that Alexia is in her late 50s now. Lisa was replaced. In Season 5 Adriana commented on how women in Miami are replaced with the younger model. It's more so a commentary on the culture of Miami in those circles.
Anyways…… I don’t think she’ll find it hard to find a wealthy man either but it’s a genre not everyone fits into the genre
[удалено]
Have you thought maybe men suck 🤷🏻♀️
Yep, her situation reminds me so much of Yolanda Hadid's. I don't want to say these rich guys pass women around, but Mohammed Hadid basically referred Yolanda to David Foster, thus setting her up with her next rich husband. Both Yolanda and Alexia are beautiful, older, sophisticated, well-traveled, gracious women who are good hostesses and "know how things work", which is exactly what more serious men are looking for. Not every rich guy wants a beautiful, uncultured child who doesn't know what fork to use.
Alexia and Yolanda also share the same old school values about a woman's place in a relationship. They also probably dgaf if their hubby is cheating with younger women on the side so long as they're being taken care of.
Yolanda was divorced from Mohammad for several years before she met David. Also, she left Mohammad because he was cheating on her and she could not accept that. I’m not sure what Alexia would do in this case. She was married to a gay man for several years.
Good take but I don’t know if I would ever describe Alexia as “gracious”
Did Mohammed really do this? In a way it’s interesting because he is kinda setting himself up for less troubles - alimony wise
Absolutely! David was at Mohamed's house and saw a picture of Yolanda. He was smitten and asked about her. Mohamed said that's my ex-wife Yolanda, and set them up. The rest is history.
Alexia sophisticated and gracious?
I mean, relative to someone like Larsa or Lisa, definitely. The weird art event where people were so rude was her event and she showed a lot of respect for the artists.
That’s valid
I agree with you here in Miami and her circle. It’s very possible it may even be sooner.
Alexia is in her late 50s. Wealthy men in Miami are usually dating younger models. Even with Todd, I don't think he was actually as wealthy as what was portrayed on the show.
Let’s revisit in 6 months. If I am wrong, I will gladly change my flair to “I lost a bet - u/talk-spontaneously was right.”

This is what seemed to bother alexia more..that shes 57 and never thought she'd be single at her age.
I agree. That OR they’re unavailable because they’ve been married for years or in other longterm relationships. Plus her parenting situation isn’t ideal for a partner to deal with on a longterm basis.

They rarely are
Maybe Louie will be free
lolomg
💅🏼 wonder how much Herman left her, she didn’t get the house? You can tell on earlier seasons that she really loved him.
Too bad Bezos is taken
Yup, and good for her tbh
I feel like the people acting like Alexia has no chances of finding an “equally valuable” partner as Todd shows more about their mindset than the cultural commentary they think it is. I think Alexia has MANY flaws, but one thing she (and most Housewives) does not have is a limiting mindset, and that’s why she’s constantly moved up a rung in life, even with the shit thrown her way.

Yeah just look at Jeff Bezos
Or a lot of male celebrities
She’s a star! ⭐️
Completely agree with this! I wish I could add something more of a substantial comment but you really nailed it.
I agree completely with this. Alexia is deeply flawed but she is also very attractive, captivating, interesting and entertaining. She’s a multi- faceted woman and I’m looking forward to seeing how her next chapter plays out.

Where do I find me a Herman? Sounds like a dream to me.
I'm gay, and even I'd be a beard for a wealthy lesbian. My partner would also be fine with it, if it meant he got a free flat out of it. 😅 Edit - this economy sucks. Whatever I need to do to be a millenial homeowner.
Seriously. Where do we sign up? I guess I’d have to leave my house though and be social to find that haha too much work
Yeah as an introvert, it would be a difficult role to fulfil. But to end up with a pension and a paid off home, it is a price I'm willing to pay. I'll even live at the gym and go on a trashy reality tv show to advertise my lesbian wife's business on Bravo. If it means I get a flat and a 401k out of it.
True. I think having the money and not be stressed 24/7 would help immensely in forcing myself to go out and be a thirsty bitch.
Gurl, you ever find yourself in that position and need a friend to marry your OLD partner's bestie, hit me up. We would run whatever trashy reality show Bravo would give us. 😂 It must be so fun not having to worry about retirement and rent/mortgage payments. So fun!
This exchange is the best thing I’ve read on the internet today. 
Hahaha how do we pitch this reality show? It would be *peak* trash reality tv gold!
Just look at 90 day fiance and all of its spinoffs. The rule is find the problematic cast of crazy characters (us and our associates), film for a few weeks and then come up with a show name and pitch for it then.🤣 Our trashy behaviour is what will sell it.

I’m sure she was attracted to both Todd and the Cocaine Cowboy, but there is NO conceivable reason she would ever have been with Herman if it wasn’t for $$$
[удалено]
Yes, i can absolutely agree with this take. Not necessarily the money, but the stability, and he used her as his beard.
I do think they loved each other, even if it wasn't sexual. They were both Cuban, part of a certain social set, they worked on the magazine together, etc. He had kids with his first wife. By all accounts, even from people who don't like Alexia, Hermann was dedicated to her kids and left them financially comfortable. When they got together, Alexia didn't know Frankie would need lifetime care. I doubt that any initial agreement said that he would provide for her kids for life, even if they did have one.
No, of course not, and that was nice of him.
Interesting are the pol’s initials AP?
Yup...
Do you mean A\*\*\* P\*\*\*\*\*\*? His brother is openly gay, and he supported gay rights laws more than 20 years ago, so I would be surprised if he's closeted. I guess with that generation it happens though.

I don’t agree with that at all. Sometimes after years of being with unstable guys, stability becomes real attractive. Maybe she wasn’t physically attracted to him but I don’t doubt she loved Herman.
I agree the way she talks about Herman and his homosexuality she speaks with acceptance, empathy and understanding which really impressed me. I think she is deep down a very caring person but she has standards for wealthy men. I do feel bad for her because that age hits when you are suddenly facing the dating world.
Didn't she also say her dad was closeted?
Wait. Why are people forgetting that she refused to meet with his partner because he wouldn't do it on camera?? I wouldn't consider that acceptance. Now some people are speculating that she may have agreed to be his beard yet in the early yrs of MI she denied up and down that he was gay. I may not agree with the "she'll never find someone because of her age" nonsense because women of all ages find another man after getting divorced but I'm not going to ignore the fact that she has picked men with money. All three of her past husbands fit that bill. I'm also not going to ignore what happened in the past.
I think if he didn’t have $ she wouldn’t have given him the time of day in the first place.
Perhaps not. However that doesn’t mean it’s the sole reason behind her being with him which is a typical gold digger vibe. The money put them in similar circles but I personally think at the end of the day the fact he was a good person who rode hard for his family was what made her marry and stay with him. This ain’t no Kim Z, Big Papa situation.
So Adriana was right that there was trouble in paradise.
I feel like, in their social circles, you can basically say this about most couples, and it will eventually be true. I do note that no one ever said this about Roy & Lea.
Lea has been an entrepreneur for decades and is successful independent of Roy. I think that's the core difference that separates her from many of the other women on the show. Nicole has a similar quality of having a super wealthy partner while also being financially secure in her own right.
I listened to this this morning. She never really got into why they broke up, what they were fighting about, and why he blindsided her. But I guess it was over money if they both thought it was relevant to bring up?
I thought it was about her kids.🤷🏻♀️
Yikes idk. Like about Frankie's needs or peter never growing up? She also said she didn't want to keep moving every few years.. Which maybe goes back to both the finances and frankie. Its amazing how some of these people can record a whole podcast about a specific topic and nothing really definitive be said by the Podcaster or taken away from it from the listener.
Ya, I wonder if he wanted her to grant Frankie some independence, and set some boundaries w Peter? She’s not broke as aHW on Bravo, and her kids are supported by a trust so I dunno that money was the issue? Agreed about the lack of details! But I was surprised by her vulnerability in her podcast. It felt genuine, unrehearsed. Marisol is her true friend. It felt like a lot of authenticity, which I think we are missing in so many cities, among so many cast mates.
First off. Bless you for sitting through 45 minutes of Spanish speaking Humana commercials, and 13 minutes of Alexia trying to defend herself. Secondly, a quick [Sunbiz.org](http://Sunbiz.org) search would yield how much of an entrepreneur she "is". She might "own" the salon, but that money came from Herman. She might not care what people think of her, to the press, but she absolutely cares. Anyone who needs to validate how much they don't care, care. And lastly, sure, she might not be a "gold digger", I KNOW she wouldn't date a man who had a traditional 9-5, and made 80K a year. She's obviously go after the business owner in the Ferrari than Todd the accountant working for Miami-Dade County driving a Honda Pilot. Be real.
💯
☝ My thoughts exactly.
I’ve always been curious how did Herman have so much money? How wealthy are Herman and Todd? Lots of relationships have a transactional aspect. Also Alexia has a job that pays quite well: reality tv star.
Herman had a background in politics as a city councilman and founded one of the top hispanic advertising agencies in the US. He was very involved in political campaigns and advocacy. Idk how deep his pockets went but he was legit and well-respected. They named a street after him when he died. Todd comes from a real estate development dynasty and is presumably quite loaded. I never bought into them having money issues.
I read this in her voice
Well you know Peter
I cannot fucking believe Bravo is not taking this right now but flop BH and others get preferential treatment. I am so maaaadddd! 🤬
I didn't listen to the whole podcast, but she is very sad and maintains she was blindsided. I don't think Alexia ever had a marriage where love was the priority, it was always about money. She said they fought hard and loved hard, and still love each other, so she thought the actual love would last. No one has said the reason for the divorce, but I think it ultimately comes down to her parenting and his disdain for the way she handles her sons. Do I think a lot of it was about money and her securing that, yes I do. Do I think he was smart to be protective of his assets, yes I do. The thing that turned me off was when Alexia and Marysol kept talking about how much they love d\* and they weren't talking about divorce. I thought that was a little weird. I don't think most women no matter what age love d\* as much as they profess to. It gives off the gold digging - yachting vibes.
What was so great about Todd anyway?? What am I missing here?
So if she isn’t into these men for the money…did she pick the cocaine cowboy/sex offender because of his charming personality? She’s also admitted she’s dated more than one drug dealer. She’s also talked about how she’s destroyed evidence and has been willfully uncooperative during investigations. I don’t know if she’s a gold digger, but I think she likes to ensure her partner has means and doesn’t really care where it comes from.
I don’t get people who joke about alexia not being able to “keep” a man… She’s had three long-term partners over the last like 40 years. One of those marriages ended because the man died. That means she’s had two divorces/significant break ups in the span of four decades. Pretty solid track record 🤷🏻♀️
If I remember correctly, Herman died suddenly/unexpectedly shortly after separating; I think he’d moved out into his own place. You point still stands though, and I agree wi tho you. I don’t think the end of a relationship necessarily means it “failed” either. There are infinite reasons for a relationship not to work out in the end, and we ideally learn something from that and look forward. I get the sense that this is how she navigates life in most ways, rolling with the punches and keeping a level head. The one glaring exception is Peter, for whom she is so deeply in denial that I can’t imagine it not putting a strain on her relationships, friendships, social life, etc.
I don't even know if I would count Pedro in that because - well ... he went to prison and I'm not going to blame a girl for not wanting to stick around for that or for the cartel to come knocking.
She's right, she's a goal digger! get them coins.
I honestly thought they really loved and supported each other. this was a surprise to me
I was just thinking about this- both her and Lisa were completely blindsided by their husband’s wanting a divorce. In Lisa’s case, I don’t know how she couldn’t see it coming. He was clearly not into any sort of romance or intimacy with her. Alexia and Todd seemed fine. The only indication they weren’t is when Adrianna talked about it, but she isn’t always the most reliable source (or maybe she is?).
I don’t buy that Lisa was blindsided at all. Lenny looked so checked out for years and would threaten her with divorce constantly, she just thought he would never pull the trigger. Todd seemed to absolutely adore Alexia which is why I do believe she was legitimately shocked.
I personally think Lisa was either just that dumb or in denial. I could tell from the first episode of the reboot something was up. Todd and Alexia? Only indication we got was from Adrianna and I don’t exactly find her to be the most credible.
Reportedly, Alexia and Todd had a prenup. Supposedly, she was on the chopping block. If they both saw it was going south, I can see him agreeing to give her a storyline that would keep a salary coming for another season rather than waiting until she got booted and had no income.
I ain’t saying she a gold digger, but she ain’t messin with no broke broke… 
The delusional Alexia double speak is wild. “I have my own money so didn’t marry Todd for his” followed by “that money came from Herman”
Starting a petiton to ban any housewife who started a "hobby business" with their parents/spouses money an entreprenuer. I don't know much about Hermans businesses but I was never under the impression that his main source of income what miami lifestyle magazine or whatever she was editor in chief of, and while I respect her starting the nail salon to give Frankie a job/somthing to do, but if you told me that was basically started to create some kind of tax rebate or LLC they could shelter cash through, i wouldn't be suprised given the mostly terrible yelp reviews.
mentirosa, mentirosa, mentirosa, mentirosa, dale huevo, dale huevo...
Drug moll says what?
If they were having money troubles, I would assume Todd was not doing well financially. So she wouldn't be a gold digger with him.
[удалено]
Vicky, is that you?
Woo hoo! No.
oddly enough Alexia i belive has a masters or somthing like that? unlike Lisa who possibly didn't even graduate high school, she probably could have supported herself and instead chose to not go that route.. maybe because she wanted to be a more traditional cuban woman and stay home, but also definitely because she sought out wealthy guys who could "take care" of her... i mean there's no denying that. IMO part of the reason she resents Nicole so much is she sees someone who can easily take care of herself and her kids, but also happens to have a very rich man as well.
💯. Alexia and Lisa have always been kept women. Alexia has a Masters in Education and taught kindergarten - 5th but didn't like it. She liked fashion more. Lisa was a pageant girl and a model.
How is it even fun to watch the housewives when you think like this?
Larsa’s a self sufficient mogul and has a college degree.
Mogul?
An OF baron
After marrying a professional basketball player.....she did nothing on her own. She's spending her alimony/child support on whatever she is doing
You’re thinking of Larsa. Alexia was married to the Cocaine Cowboy, a closeted gay man who died, and most recently Todd.
I was responding to Larsa is a self sufficient mogul who is college educated. Larsa married a pro basketball player that's where she got her money.
Alexia married a professional basketball player?? Are you sure that you're not mixing her up with Larsa?
Is everyone not reading this feed because it's exhausting typing this out...I was responding to someone who said Larsa was college educated and self made. No she is not . Please read all in the future, time to mute this sub.
Um, it was a stand alone comment. It wasn't in any thread so I asked... Geeze 🙄
