Alexia previously opened up about marrying Todd, who is her third husband, in a December 2021 episode of the hit Bravo reality show. At the time, the reality star said she "really" wanted "to be married to Todd for the rest of my life."

"I honestly really want to be married to Todd for the rest of my life. He loves me, and he loves [my son Frankie]."
