'Love Is Blind's Alexa And Brennon Teased Big Family News On 'After The Altar'
If you’re a reality TV junkie, grab your gold goblets. Because Love Is Blind, the crème de la crème of reality dating shows, just dropped three new "After The Altar" episodes from its very spicy season 3.
In case you missed it, LIB sets out to prove whether you can fall in love with someone, sight unseen, as hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey remind everyone at the top of each hour-long episode.
During this show, 30 singles are stuck into "pods" to chat through a wall. The guys and gals can only see each other if they decide to get engaged. And then the whole gang is released into the “real world" after some time at a beach-y locale getting to know each other better. After moving in together and meeting family and friends, they then decide if they'll actually get married. And season 3 has just as much drama and chaotic behavior as seasons 1 and 2.
This time around, viewers met the delightfully sweet Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux. I ship. I stan. I love these two (and cried approximately three times listening to their banter). They get engaged on the show, but are they still together? And more importantly, is Alexa pregnant? Here's everything to know.
What happens in season 3?
Brennon, a 32-year-old water treatment engineer, and Alexa, a 29-year-old insurance agency owner, seem like an unlikely pair at first. He’s serving major "Southern Gent" energy (he is literally wearing a cowboy hat for most of the first episode), and Alexa looks like more of a fabulous fashion girly, wearing a stunning silk dress and what appears to be some *expertly* applied makeup.
These two immediately hit it off and... quickly get engaged.
Brennon opens up to Alexa about his parent’s divorce and how the “hatred” he felt between them caused him to cry himself to sleep at night as a little boy. Sounds like Alexa's got an emotionally intelligent dude on her hands!
Brennon also tells her that his favorite thing to cook is shakshuka, which is music to Alexa’s ears because she’s Israeli, and it’s a beloved family recipe. They also literally cannot stop telling each other "I love you," in the pods, which is really sweet.
Alexa is the first plus-sized contestant on the show.
Yep, believe it or not, she's the first plus-sized woman to be afforded significant airtime in the LIB Universe. And Alexa's a total confident queen on this show.
Unfortunately, Netflix introduced her with a monologue about how much she loves to eat. And then they include a clip where she says: “When I look at myself, yeah, like I could stand to probably lose a little like weight I could, but I don’t like necessarily want to. I like to eat. I love to eat.”
In case you forgot, Vanessa Lachey kinda dug herself into a hole earlier this year when she said the lack of body diversity on the show was because people are “too insecure” to date someone in a larger body. Luckily, both Brennon and Alexa seem to be secure, mature adults, and Alexa is embraced for the beautiful woman she is despite that intro.
Alexa’s dad and Brennon had an interesting one-on-one.
Alexa is Jewish, and during her dad's one-on-one with Brennon, he asks Brennon if he's willing to fully commit to Judaism. After Brennon gives him a confident "yes," her father brings out a full set of knives.
Naturally, this part of the episode generated a lot of buzz about how Brennon must have felt and, um, circumcisions. "My mom made a decision early on in my life," he tells Women's Health.
But it seems like everyone was in good spirits, and Alexa found the whole scenario hilarious. "I had no idea that that had happened. And [Brennon] was like, 'You know, your dad threatened me with circumcision,'" she tells WH. "My dad is very funny. I think it was also like a test to see how Brennan would react to something just funny like that."
Apparently, he reacted quite well!
Are they still together?
I am happy to report that this duo made it down the aisle (in a very wonderful wedding Reform Jewish ceremony) and are still very happily married.
At the reunion, these two put their love in display, and they were super snuggled up together, which was heartwarming to see. “It's kind of strange getting back into all of this because it's just been us two,” Alexa told WH back in October. “It's super exciting. It's been really wonderful. Every day is just a fairy tale.
Brennon seems to feel similarly, and he told WH that marriage has been “wonderful" so far. “All the serious issues we really honestly discussed on the show, and that's why we fell in love so quickly and so wholeheartedly,” he adds. Aww!
Is Alexa pregnant?
On the newest "After The Altar" episodes, Brennon and Alexa hint at some big news that may be coming down the pipeline in 2023. These two are in family-planning mode!
After Alexa's birthday party, Brennon gifts her a baby onesie with "Baby Lemieux" on the front. Alexa laughs when she opens it, adding, "coming 2023." That being said, Alexa doesn't seem to be pregnant during filming because she was drinking at the party and responded, "Aw, now I really want one."
Later, in a joint confessional, Alexa says she would like to eventually have five kids and shares that she has a list of names in her phone. Seems like everyone should prep themselves for some baby news soon!
Stay tuned for more Bralexa/Alennon updates in the future.
