Aleixa Nepola confirmed she and Todd 'reached an amicable divorce settlement' in March.

After getting married in December 2021, their marriage fell apart when Todd filed for divorce in April 2024. Alexia seemingly was blindsided by the filing, claiming at the time she was "shocked and heartbroken."

"I will take comfort in the fact that my friends and family will be by my side, supporting me during this difficult time. I'm praying for better times ahead," she elaborated.

In March, it was confirmed Alexia and Todd had finalized their divorce.

"After thoughtful reflection, Todd and I have reached an amicable divorce settlement," Alexia said in a statement at the time. "While our marriage has legally ended, our relationship has not."

"We continue to love and support each other as we navigate this next chapter," she added. "We appreciate the understanding, love, and support from our family, friends, and fans."
