The Real Housewives of Miami’s Alexia Nepola will always support costars being honest with their lives.
During a recent episode of Bravo’s hit reality show, Lisa Hochstein and her boyfriend, Jody Glidden, surprised some viewers when they confessed to sometimes sleeping in separate bedrooms during their relationship.
According to Alexia, 58, honesty with viewers is always the best policy.
“I liked that Jody was being honest. I can appreciate honesty,” she exclusively shared with Luxury Handbag Shopping at the Page Six Virtual Reali-Tea Awards in New York City on September 17. “Of course, she wasn’t going to like it because it was a little bit too much. But I liked that Jody was honest and said, ‘You know what, there are a lot of couples out there that have issues just like us and don’t sleep in the same room some nights.’ I love that he owned it, and he shared it, and he was honest about it.”
During a rare joint confessional interview with Lisa, 43, Jody admitted that outside voices can sometimes have an impact on their relationship.
“Being in any relationship is tough, but being in this relationship is really, really tough,” Jody said on the September 4 episode of RHOM, while citing non-stop “attacks” against himself and Lisa. “The latest one with Larsa [Pippen] was targeted at me. And it causes us to fight to the point where I have to sleep in another room sometimes because we’re fighting so bad.”
Lisa later playfully jumped in to tell Jody to “shush” before changing the topic.
From Alexia’s perspective, she’s happy to see a costar being authentic about the highs and lows of love stories.
”I think that they’re very much in love,” she said at City Winery. “But remember, we’re real couples. It’s a real relationship. And on top of it, you’re going through it on TV. So it’s like, you don’t even know what to say. I do appreciate the sincerity.”
While attending Page Six’s annual awards show, Marysol Patton also expressed her support for Lisa and Jody as a couple.
“I hope they figure that out and get back in the same bedroom,” she told Us. “Well, maybe it’s just once in a while. I don’t know. I like Jody for her. I hope they figure it out. I’m sure it’s fine by now. That was, like, when we filmed last year.”
With The Real Housewives of Miami wrapping up season 7 on Thursday, September 25, fans are getting pumped for the three-part reunion show.
After Guerdy Abraira previously teased to Us that something “historic” happens, Alexia agreed that a shocking story emerges right in front of host Andy Cohen.
“It was not expected, and it’s kind of like a bomb show,” she said before the explosive reunion trailer was released. “I don’t think it’s ever happened before.”
Marysol, 58, added, “I think that it’ll be an interesting trajectory, for sure.”
The Real Housewives of Miami airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.
