Dancing with the Stars Season 33: Alexa PenaVega Reflects on Competing with Her Husband
As Dancing with the Stars enters its 33rd season, anticipation for the next episode is building, set to air on November 12, 2024. This beloved reality competition continues to delight audiences with its blend of dance, drama, and romance, including memorable moments such as married couples competing against one another.
A Blast from the Past: Alexa and Carlos PenaVega
Among the notable couples to participate was the talented duo, Alexa PenaVega and Carlos PenaVega, during season 21 in 2015. Alexa, known for her role in the Spy Kids franchise, teamed up with Mark Ballas, while Carlos partnered with Witney Carson. Despite finishing in sixth place, Alexa recently reflected on her experiences during an appearance on Cheryl Burke’s podcast, S*x, Lies, and Spray Tans.
Navigating Boundaries in Competition
In the episode released on November 4, 2024, Alexa discussed the complexities of competing on a national stage while maintaining her marriage. She emphasized the importance of setting clear boundaries with their dance partners to ensure their relationship remained the priority. “If it was ever flirty, I’d just be like, ‘I don’t do that,’” she shared, highlighting her commitment to Carlos.
“Our marriage is still first,”Alexa reaffirmed during the podcast.
The Reality of Backstage Dynamics
Alexa elaborated on the challenges of participating in the show as a couple. It was particularly tough for Carlos, who struggled with seeing Alexa work closely with her partner. She recalled their mutual agreement with their partners: while they were excited about their dancing journey, their commitment to each other remained paramount.
“If Carlos was doing this and I was watching this girl dance with him all close, it would be so hard,”she admitted.
Despite the intense nature of the competition, Alexa attributed understanding to their respective partners, noting that the reality show’s producers did not always share this empathy. Although this experience was harrowing at times, she cherished the “high highs” associated with the competition.
Enjoying the Show as a Fan
Away from the competitive atmosphere, Alexa enjoys watching Dancing with the Stars as a viewer. She expressed her delight in witnessing contestants transform—some who may not start as the best dancers but grow immensely throughout the season.
“Who doesn’t love a good feel-good story where they’re not great at dancing, but look at how far they’ve come? That’s awesome. I love the premise of it,”she said.
