Alexia Nepola’s twisty divorce from Todd Nepola just took yet another dramatic turn on The Real Housewives of Miami Season 7.
As seen in Episode 4, Marysol Patton FaceTimed Larsa Pippen with the news that Alexia had just “dropped a little bit of a bomb” amid a looming deadline for Todd to either withdraw or proceed with his divorce filing. That’s when the action flashed back to their conversation from four hours earlier.
“Todd and I decided to ask for an extension to get divorced,” Alexia told Marysol. “We want another three months. He doesn’t want to pull the trigger; I don’t want to pull the trigger.”
As Marysol, who’s made no secret of her desire for Alexia and Todd to remain broken up, shot back, “He’s never gonna pull the trigger. It’s gonna have to be you.”
Returning to her call with a stunned Larsa, Marysol added, “Yeah, it’s a roller coaster. One day, she hates him. The next week she’s fine.”

So, she suggested to Larsa that they recruit Julia Lemigova, and RHOM Season 7 newbie Stephanie Shojaee to “distract” Alexia by taking her out to ” have drinks and have a good time.”
After joking with a producer that the only thing that would help Alexia get over Todd is some “new D,” Marysol struck a more serious tone while later discussing the matter with Lisa Hochstein: “I’m getting worried because he’s draining her emotionally, and she’s a nervous wreck,” she shared.
Those fears only ramped up when Alexia didn’t answer her phone after no-showing for the group outing with Larsa, Julia, and Stephanie, prompting Marysol to state, “Something weird’s going on. Something’s not right.”
Larsa, for her part, guessed that Alexia was “probably having sex with Todd,” suggesting, “He could’ve called her last minute and said, ‘Come over.'”

Alexia eventually responded via text message to Marysol, which read, “Hey! I’m in bed with a bad migraine. I’m very stressed and anxious and need a mental break. Sorry to miss it. Was looking forward.”
Immediately, Marysol suspected, “She’s with Todd.”
At Julia’s baby shower the next day, Alexia insisted that “there’s nothing to worry about,” repeating that she “needed a mental break from everyone and everything.”
In a producer interview, she doubled down, insisting, “I promise you I was not with Todd that night. I wish, but I wasn’t. I really had a migraine.”
Marysol, meanwhile, weighed in on the explanation in her own confessional, conceding, “I’m just living in Todd and Alexia’s world at this point. This is horrible.”

Also at the baby shower, Alexia added, “I’m very stressed out. I have a lot of anxiety, just like about everything, before accusing party host Adriana de Moura of adding “a lot of stress” to her “situation,” too. (Another flashback to RHOM Season 6 reminded viewers that Adriana had alleged that the couple was having “financial issues,” at the time.)
“I’m not blaming Adriana for Todd leaving, but nobody likes lies and rumors about their marriage or your relationship,” she explained.
Soon afterward, Stephanie offered her some unsolicited advice: “When God takes out the garbage, you don’t go back into the garbage and, like, go diving, you know? You, like, took it out, so you don’t go back in.”
In the moment, Alexia responded, “I know, but I have to realize that on my own.” But in a confessional, she added, “Stephanie’s comment is way out of line. She doesn’t know me well enough to make a comment like that about my husband.”
Are Alexia and Todd Nepola still together today?
As was the case during filming, Alexia and Todd’s relationship status is still in flux. Despite the request for an extension that she described during RHOM“s July 2 episode, they finalized their divorce in March, noting that they were still together as an unmarried couple.
During a joint appearance with Marysol on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen‘s June 19 episode, however, Alexia revealed that she and Todd are not currently together — but admitted they were “intimate” just days earlier amid their status changing from day to day.
