RHOM’s Alexia Nepola is denying rumors that Luis Ruleas tried to date her
According to The Real Housewives of Miami‘S Alexia Nepola“There is no truth” in the rumors that Teresa Giudice‘s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelaswas interested in her.
“I was going to suggest that we do something, like a podcast or something, three or four of us, even Todd [Nepola]because it wasn’t,” Alexia, 56, shared exclusively We weekly on Saturday, November 4 during the second day of BravoCon 2023 in Las Vegas.
Back in May, Melissa Gorga claimed during The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 reunion that Louie, 48, was romantically interested in Alexia before he started dating Teresa, 51, in 2020. However, Alexia clarified during an episode of Watch what’s happening live earlier this month she shared that she met Louie during a trip to Barcelona, where they stayed at the same hotel.
“Every time he approached me, [it] was because he had seen me on the show and he knew my challenges with Frankie and my journey with Frankie,” she explained Us on Saturday. ‘And he can feel that pain as a father, because he is a very good father and has his autistic son Nicholas. So I think it was more that I was an inspiration to him, and he was so moved by the fact that he met me and knew, ‘God, we’re kind of on the same journey.’
Alexia shares sons Peter, 31, and Frankie, 26, with ex-husband Pedro Rosello. Frankie has suffered serious brain injuries since she was in a near-fatal car accident in 2011 at the age of 13. Louie is also a father to two boys, whom Nicholas, 21, and Louie Jr., 19, share with ex-wife. Marissa Dimartino Ruelas.
Alexia — who married her husband, Todd, 50, in 2021 — further noted that it can be difficult for reality stars to know if their romantic partners are pursuing relationships for the right reasons. “Are we always going to think that any man who comes next to us and wants to date us is because we’re famous, or because we’re celebrities, or whatever you want to call us?” she said. “It’s like the rich man: Is he going to think, ‘Oh, the woman is only dating me because I have money, not because of who I am?'”

And there is no truth in it anyway.”
