Alexia Nepola wrote a post about her sons being the “priority” amid reports that she suspects her husband Todd Nepola filed for divorce because of something to do with the children.
Alexia’s oldest son Peter, 31, fought with Todd on a recent season of Real Housewives of Miami. Her youngest son Frankie, 26, has lived with Alexia since his car accident in 2011.
“MY PRIORITY,” wrote Alexia next to images of herself with her sons in an April 21 Instagram post. “The reason I smile and the reason I keep going.”
She shared nine photos of herself with the boys, apparently spending time together in the wake of the split.
Three of her castmates then reacted in the comments.
“Love you,” wrote Lisa Hochstein.
Julia Lemigova – who feuded with Alexia in past seasons – expressed her support with three heart emojis.
Adriana de Moura also responded to Alexia’s post, despite their past feud, as she also posted three heart emojis.
“Yassss! Hun-Nay!! 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏻🥰” wrote fellow Bravoleb Jennifer Aydin, and Teresa Giudice also shared heart emojis. Heather Gay added, “Love you.” Porsha Williams, who’s now going through her own divorce, wrote, “Keep going mamma!”
Last week, a source told Us Weekly that Alexia believes the breakup “has a lot to do with her sons.”
“Peter tried to warn her about him,” shared the insider. “…Things were good between her and Todd days leading up [to] him filing. She had no idea and there were no signs … Alexia believes he wanted to keep her in the dark about how he was feeling about ending the marriage, because he knew she would try and convince him otherwise.”
“[She] loves Todd and is devastated,” the source also explained. “It all came as a shock.”
