While Alexa and Carlos PenaVega are still active in Hollywood — and by active, we mean they managed to bag a hefty contract with Hallmark — they are thriving more online. As of this writing, their YouTube channel is on the brink of hitting a million subscribers, and between them, they’ve amassed nearly 4 million followers on Instagram. With a massive audience keeping tabs on them, any dips in their social media activity become a cause of concern among their fans. That’s what happened in early 2024 when their updates became sporadic, save for the occasional sponsored content here and there.
It wasn’t until March of that year that the two of them offered an explanation as to what they were up to. In a joint Instagram post, the actors revealed their impromptu decision that had upended their lives — a move to Tennessee. “We both (separately) felt God calling us to take a trip to Tennessee. Had no idea why. It was 8 o’clock at night and we decided to take a leap of faith,” they recalled. And as if the universe conspired for them to uproot their lives, they discovered on that trip that a house was waiting for them— an offer from their friends.
But what about their sailing plans and their Maui home? It turns out that they’ve decided to let those go for now, trusting that their spontaneous move was a step in the right direction. “Even in the confusion and with so many questions… we cannot wait for this new season with our growing familia,” they wrote.
