Love Is Blind season 3 stars Alexa and Brennon Lemieux celebrated Christmas together amid their ongoing divorce.
Alexa, 31, shared photos of the pair’s festivities to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, December 25. In the pics, their daughter, Vienna, wore themed holiday pajamas and sat in front a mountain of wrapped presents.
After opening her gifts, Vienna cuddled up to dad Brennon, 35, for another social media pic.
Alexa and Brennon, who got married in June 2021 after appearing on season 3 of the pod experiment, announced their separation earlier this month.
“After much reflection and many heartfelt conversations, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” a joint Instagram statement read. “This choice was not made lightly, and it comes with a great deal of care, respect, and appreciation for the time we’ve shared.”
They continued, “We entered this relationship with love and optimism, and we leave it with gratitude for the experiences that shaped us and the growth we each gained along the way. While our journey as a married couple is coming to an end, we remain supportive of one another, devoted to our daughter, and committed to navigating this transition with compassion.”
Alexa and Brennon further stressed that they planned to keep Vienna, who was born in July 2021, their “top priority” moving forward.
While Brennon has not publicly addressed the couple’s separation, Us Weekly confirmed that he filed for divorce on November 5.
“The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between [Brennon] and [Alexa] that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation,” his filing read.
Alexa responded to Brennon’s motion nearly one month later, denying his claims and requesting a disproportionate share of the pair’s estate over “fault in the breakup of the marriage.”
In the weeks since their legal back-and-forth, the pair have been focused on Vienna’s first holiday season. Alexa, who identifies as Jewish, celebrated Hanukkah with her little girl earlier this week.
“It’s the last night of Hanukkah, and we want to make some latkes,” Alexa said in a Sunday, December 21, Instagram video, noting the potato pancake recipe once belonged to her grandmother. “I’m going to modify the recipe just a bit since it’s just me, baby girl and dad having latkes tonight. Normally I make them for a whole load of people, but tonight it’s just the three of us.”
While Alexa didn’t clarify whether Brennon celebrated Hanukkah with her, she further explained why it was important to share traditions with their daughter. (Alexa and Brennon previously planned to raise Vienna as an interfaith couple.)
“Life has been a little crazy, to say the least, the last few weeks,” she added. “I’m really glad that we can try and keep some holiday traditions going this year when everything else is just a lot.”
Alexa quipped in conclusion, “While I would tell you not to believe everything you read online, you can believe these are damn good latkes.”
Alexa and Brennon met and got engaged sight unseen in the Love Is Blind pods during 2022’s season 3.
