In a candid discussion on the "He Said, G Said" podcast, Alexa Lemieux, a former contestant on Netflix's "Love Is Blind," expressed her frustration with the term "broken home" in relation to her recent divorce from Brennon Lemieux. She challenged listeners to rethink outdated views on family structures, stating, "Are y’all … for real? Like, it’s 2026."
Alexa, now 31, and Brennon, 35, married in 2021 after forming a connection in the show's pods during its third season. They welcomed their daughter, Vienna, in 2024, but ultimately separated in the fall of 2025, just shy of five years of marriage. While the couple had hoped to stay together, Alexa emphasized that maintaining a relationship that was no longer functional would mean they were living in a true broken home.
"If that’s not what’s happening, then keeping something that’s clearly not working, that’s the broken home," she explained. This perspective shifts the narrative away from traditional stigmas surrounding divorce, highlighting the necessity of happiness and well-being for all family members. She added, "Everything happens for a reason, and I have my child that I love more than anything in this life out of it and I’ll always be grateful for the time that was shared."
Currently, Alexa noted that her divorce is nearing finalization, pending simple administrative steps. She expressed a commitment to coparenting Vienna amicably, asserting, "I want to find something that works for everyone. I want holidays to make sense, I want her to truly experience both parents… we’re going to be in each other’s lives for the rest of our lives because of our shared daughter."
Despite the challenges of navigating post-split dynamics, Alexa remains hopeful about reaching a healthy coparenting arrangement. As she and Brennon continue to figure out their relationship moving forward, she emphasizes the importance of ensuring their daughter's well-being above all else. Their approach reflects a growing trend among modern families, focusing on collaborative parenting rather than adhering to traditional definitions of family success.
