Alexia Nepola wants Lisa Hochstein to win the race to the altar.
The “Real Housewives of Miami” star, 56, says on an upcoming episode of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast that she hopes her castmate marries boyfriend Jody Glidden before estranged husband Lenny Hochstein weds fiancée Katharina Mazepa.
“I would love to see Lisa get married before Lenny, yes,” Nepola states. “That’s what I would like.”
The self-proclaimed “Cuban Barbie” — who wed husband Todd Nepola in December 2021 — says that she is “so happy” that Lisa found the handsome tech CEO amid her messy split from Lenny.
“Jody’s a wonderful guy and I think he’s helped her so much get through such a difficult time in her life,” Alexia says.
“I don’t know if she could have done that on her own, honestly, because he’s been so good to her. This is what she needed.”

Lisa, 41, and Lenny, 57, have been embroiled in a bitter divorce battle since the latter filed to end their 12-year marriage in May 2022. The now-exes share two young kids, son Logan and daughter Elle.
Page Six broke the news that they were separating after Lisa caught Lenny allegedly cheating on her with 28-year-old model Mazepa, which resulted in an infamous confrontation at the Miami nightclub Gala, where “drinks were thrown.”
Earlier this month, Lisa and Glidden had an icy run-in with Lenny and Mazepa at Miami’s Prime 112. “You could feel there was tension between the two [couples],” a source told us at the time.
Lisa confirmed she was dating Glidden in March after months of speculation. By July, Lenny and Mazepa were engaged even though his divorce from Lisa wasn’t — and still hasn’t been — finalized.
Rumors recently swirled that the pair split, but Mazepa confirmed to Page Six that she and Lenny are “very much still together.”
Alexia, for her part, is confounded by the developments in Lenny’s love life.
“It doesn’t make any sense to me,” she tells us. “But then again, we’re not in people’s lives, we’re not in people’s minds and hearts, so I don’t know how that happened.”
The Alexia + Frankie’s Beauty Bar owner is, however, certain that Lisa has upgraded with Glidden.
“I’m just very happy for her that she gets to experience and live a different kind of love than she had with Lenny,” she raves. “He’s proven to be a stand-up, wonderful man.”
Glidden, who appears throughout the upcoming season of “RHOM,” isn’t the only new significant other entering the fold. Larsa Pippen’s beau, Marcus Jordan — the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan — also filmed plenty of scenes.
Both men will appear in Wednesday night’s premiere episode.
“We have great guys. Honestly, we are really blessed, all of us. I feel like they make us better,” Alexia says of the reality show’s increased male energy.
“It’s great to have them,” she adds. “I think that they’re a good addition to the rest of us.”
Season 6 of “The Real Housewives of Miami” premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
