New ship alert? On Thursday night’s (Sept. 11) episode of Watch What Happens Live, a fan from the studio audience revealed that Tom Schwartz has a “crush” on Alexia Nepola—and the Real Housewives of Miami star didn’t shut down the possibility of a future romance!
Mikayla from Houston was lucky enough to ask Alexia a question in-person, and she did not disappoint.
“I saw that Schwartz was recently in Miami and you guys took a picture,” she began. “He was also recently in Houston and I went and saw him at an appearance and he mentioned that you are his Bravo crush. So, would you ever give Schwartz a shot?”
Alexia seemed flustered as she responded, “I did not know that. So, now when I see him at BravoCon or wherever I see him, it’s gonna feel different. I mean, I think he’s cute.”
“He’s very sweet. He is so nice, so sweet. I love him. He’s a kind person. And you never really know,” she added of the Vanderpump Rules alum, shocking host Andy Cohen. “I feel like those guys on those kinds of shows [are] for it. And they love the Housewives, so I like that. It’s very flattering.”
Alexia’s love life is currently up in the air. The self-titled Cuban Barbie married Todd Nepola in December 2021, and was blindsided when he filed for divorce in April 2024. Their divorce was finalized this past March, but they’ve kept up an on-again, off-again relationship.
When Decider caught up with Alexia in June, she shared on update on their status.
“All I know is that we’re both crazy and confused and we both love each other a lot and we just have to figure out a way to deal with all this and to love each other better, I guess, because we’re not so good at it,” she said. “That’s why we’re here.”
“But so far it’s working out,” Alexia continued. “I live in my house, he lives in his. Things seem to be better. I need to be at peace and I need to be happy. So when things are peaceful and I feel happy with my life, everything else falls into place.”
Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
