Racy new sighting of newly-divorced celebrity couple
Well, that's one way to get over your ex. US reality star Alexia Echevarria and her newly-ex-husband Todd Nepola have been spotted on a beach in Miami, Florida, looking a whole lot closer than their recent divorce news would suggest. Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia, 57, and her 52-year-old real estate broker husband were seen kissing and cuddling on the beach, just a month after confirming that they'd finalised their divorce. But here's where things get confusing: In a statement issued to People last month, Alexia confirmed that while their marriage was over, their relationship was not. 'After thoughtful reflection, Todd and I have reached an amicable divorce settlement,' she told the outlet. '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.' The pair were married in December 2021 and filed for divorce in April last year – but in November, Alexia told fans at Bravo Fan Fest that they were still 'trying to figure things out.' 'We're still working on getting better and getting stronger and figuring it out because we really do love each other a lot,' she said. The pair aren't the only celeb couple to rekindle their romance after filing for divorce. It was recently revealed that Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane and his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, had quietly called off their divorce, some seven years after they'd filed. Gayheart had initially filed for divorce in 2018, citing irreconcilable differences, but the New York Post reported last month that both stars had signed a motion to dismiss the divorce petition. They'd earlier sparked rumours of a reconciliation when they were spotted holding hands in public in 2023. News that they'd cancelled their divorce came as Dane publicly revealed he's been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and assured fans he had his 'loving family' by his side as he deals with the diagnosis.

Dr. Nicole Martin teases Real Housewives return after exit due to postpartum anxiety
Dr. Nicole Martin is keeping her options open when it comes to a possible return to The Real Housewives of Miami. 'Never say never,' Martin, 40, said while appearing at a recent event in New York City promoting her Exoceuticals skincare line. But in the same breath, she acknowledged how 'stressful' the show was. Martin became an instant fan-favorite when she joined the Bravo show for its season four reboot after an eight-year hiatus. But in September 2024, she announced she was 'stepping back' from the series after three seasons as a full-time cast member as she dealt with postpartum anxiety following the birth of her daughter, Genevieve. 'It all started about a week after giving birth when I found myself having an overwhelming sense of worry and fear out of nowhere,' Martin posted on Instagram at the time. 'It felt like my mind was constantly on high alert, panicked and worrying endlessly about the health of my baby, myself, and my family.' Turning her focus to her family — including Genevieve, 1, and son Greyson, 6, both of whom she shares with fiancé Anthony Lopez — and her health, Martin opted not to return to the show. Bravo boss Andy Cohen commented how 'lucky' the network was to have her 'and will be again if (and hopefully when) you feel the time is right,' leaving the door open for a future return. Martin's 'replacement' for season seven of The Real Housewives of Miami was introduced in November at Bravo FanFest. Entrepreneur Stephanie Shojaee — who Martin said was a 'great choice' — will join the cast of women that includes Guerdy Abraira, Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton, and Kiki Barth. Season seven is expected to air on Bravo later this year. Long before Martin was a Housewife, she was a board-certified anesthesiologist. Still, she's grateful for all the reality show has brought her, and says it feels like the opportunity to join Housewives 'fell in my lap to open another door;' that being the now-booming skincare brand. 'I'm always very thankful and supportive of all the fans because Bravo really does have some amazing devoted fans,' Martin said. 'I've always been so thankful to them when I get to meet them at Bravo Con and events like this,' she said of the Exoceuticals celebration. 'If my personality resonates with you, so will this product,' she said. 'Because it really does speak volumes about who I am in terms of my background in medicine, my passion for skincare.
