As I delve into the captivating world of Dancing with the Stars, I find myself utterly enthralled by the diverse backgrounds and experiences of this season’s contestants. Each story is as unique as a snowflake, yet they all share one common goal – to conquer the dance floor and claim the coveted Mirrorball Trophy.


Alexa PenaVega wasn’t interested in dancing around drama.

The former star of “Spy Kids” divulged additional details about how she and her spouse, Carlos PenaVega, handled their joint participation on “Dancing with the Stars” during the early stages of their marriage.

On the Nov. 3 episode of the “Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans with Cheryl Burke” podcast, Alexa, who married a member of Big Time Rush in 2014, expressed her thoughts about how difficult it must be for spouses to participate in the show without experiencing it as they did. She acknowledged that they understood the dynamics of the show, but if Carlos (her husband) was participating and she was watching other girls dance closely with them during rehearsals or performances, it would have been extremely challenging for her.

Carlos, during that phase of his existence, he was so envious that it proved challenging for him, despite comprehending the situation,” she explained further. “It was incredibly forward. We had to establish firm limits immediately, which was quite tough for everyone involved. It seemed as if there was excessive flirting backstage and elsewhere.

As a passionate admirer, I couldn’t help but be captivated by the 36-year-old contestant from season 21 of the dance competition in 2015. Her husband may have placed fourth, but she was equally determined to clarify our partnership with my dance partner, Mark Ballas. Similarly, I found myself eagerly following Carlos’s journey alongside his partner, Witney Carson, as he too sought to define their unique connection.

She made clear her affection for Mark. They meshed well, though there may have been flirtatious undertones at times, which she would swiftly address with “I don’t cross those lines.” There were moments when she came off as harsh, but it was all about establishing healthy boundaries. Eventually, they navigated through these challenges and ended up having a fantastic partnership.

However, Alexa, who has children Ocean (age 7), Kingston (age 5), and Rio (age 3) together with Carlos, also understood that these boundaries could sometimes be challenging for other contestants in the competition.

She remembered that the experience was challenging for everyone, as they had announced on the show that they were a married couple. “You are our partners and we are thrilled to work with you,” she explained of their conversation. “But just because we’re teaming up doesn’t mean we neglect our marriage or prioritize this over it. Our marriage remains our top priority.

Even though they made an effort to establish boundaries, the couple encountered challenges in their marriage while participating in the ABC competition series.

The Sleepover actress stated, ‘We were still discovering so many things,’ she explained. ‘Carlos struggled with jealousy and insecurities. I found myself feeling drained as I tried to support him through his struggles. He wasn’t doing anything wrong, but witnessing his emotional state, which was unnecessary given the circumstances of the time, had an impact on me.’

“Alexa found herself spread thin in multiple areas. As she looked back, she said, ‘I’d come home every night feeling so drained, thinking, ‘I can’t meet Mark’s expectations. I can’t fulfill Carlos’ needs. I can’t live up to what the producers want from me.’

Despite the drama, she is still grateful for the experience. 

She found the show delightful and enjoyable to watch, and it made her feel great. She adores the concept behind it. However, she admitted that working on it could be challenging, but the experience was both tough and exciting since it had some incredibly rewarding moments.

12 seasons back, Alexa and Carlos stepped away from the dance floor. Continue reading to discover who’s been stealing the spotlight with their performance this current season on Dancing With the Stars.
