Turns out RHOM staple Marysol Patton was just as shocked as the Bravoverse over the news that Todd Nepola filed for divorce from his wife, Alexia Nepola.
Todd Nepola has yet to publicly comment on his divorce from Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola but the 56-year-old’s Bravo co-star Marysol Patton admits she was “completely taken by surprise” by the split.
“We’re all a little shocked and it’s not a good day for her to be here and participate,” Marysol Patton said on Monday’s episode of her and Alexia’s Ay Por Favor podcast.
“What can I say? I am completely taken by surprise. I mean, I didn’t see this coming. It rips my heart apart because I can only put myself in her shoes and know how hard this must be for her.”
Marysol then called the divorce a “big cold dose of reality,” and made her realize that “things don’t always turn out the way we had planned.”
As previously reported, Todd Nepola filed for divorce from Alexia Nepola on Thursday, April 11 in Miami-Dade County.
Per Distractify, Todd’s attorney Michael J. Alman is listed in the filing with Alexia named as the respondent in the case however her attorney is not named in the court documents.
In the filing, Todd claims his marriage to Alexia is “irretrievably broken.” The court filing also reveals that the estranged couple signed a prenuptial agreement on December 10, 2021 — six days before they tied the knot on December 16.
However, the details of their prenup remain confidential.
Just hours after the news broke that Todd filed for divorce, Alexia broke her silence on the devastating news.
On Instagram the RHOM shared that she was “shocked and heartbroken.”
“I am shocked and heartbroken that Todd has chosen to dissolve our marriage,” the 56-year-old Real Housewives of Miami star wrote on her Instagram Story Monday night.
“I will take comfort in the fact that my friends and family will be by my side supporting me during his difficult time,” she continued.
This is the Real Housewives of Miami OG’s third marriage.
The Real Housewives of Miami is expected to return to Bravo in early 2025.
