Alexa PenaVega Reveals Marriage Struggles During ‘DWTS’
Married couple Alexa and Carlos PenaVega both competed on Dancing With the Stars in 2015. The star recently talked about what it was like competing on the show as a married couple. She also discussed what it was like working with their dance partners on the show.
Alexa & Carlos PenaVega Are Known For Working On Projects Together
Alexa rose to prominence with her role as Carmen Cortez in the Spy Kids film franchise. Carlos is best known as a member of the musical group Big Time Rush, as well as appearing in the Nickelodeon series of the same name.
The two are noted for appearing in a variety of projects together. This includes films like Love in the Limelight, Love at Sea, and Enchanted Christmas. Notably, Alexa played both a variation of herself and Carlos’ love-interest in Big Time Rush‘s series finale.
This past Sunday, Alexa appeared on podcast, “Sex, Lies and Spray Tans.” She spoke with its host, former Dancing With the Stars pro dancer Cheryl Burke. While there, the star noted things might have been different if the two had been asked to do the show later in their marriage.
As Alexa shared, “It was early in our marriage, and we literally said [to each other that] we don’t know how spouses do this show without doing it the way we did.” She continued, “Like, if Carlos was doing this and I was watching this girl dance with him all close and the rehearsals or whatever, it would be so hard.”
The star also considered what things would have been like for her husband. She shared, “And for Carlos, at that season of his life, he was such a jealous man that even though he understood the dynamic [of the show], it was still hard for him. And you know how it is — it is incredibly flirty.”
Alexa Also Talked About The Pressure To Flirt
As Alexa noted, she and Carlos were at a stage where they were still getting to know each other. As she explained, “Our marriage was still so young, and we were still learning so much, and Carlos was so jealous and also battling his insecurities. I felt like I had to be there for him.”
During their time on the show, Alexa was paired with Mark Ballas while Carlos danced with Witney Carson. Alexa noted she and Carlos had to “set big boundaries” while competing.

While Alexa assured that she got along well with Ballas, she admitted that she had to upfront with him about any flirting. She noted that producers often expected flirting on the show. As noted by Us Weekly, she shared, “If it was ever flirty, I’d just be like, ‘I don’t do that.’ I was a little mean, but it was only to set good boundaries.” She added that, “we figured it out, and we ended up having a really great partnership.”
