Alexa PenaVega Speaks Out in Emotional Video Following Stillbirth of Fourth Child
Alexa PenaVega was ready for a big time fresh start with Carlos PenaVega.
The Spy Kids star—who tied the knot with the Big Time Rush alum in 2014—recently shared the heartwarming reason the pair decided to combine their former last names, Pena and Vega.
“I’m Vega,” Alexa exclusively told E! News’ Francesca Amiker. “My husband is Dominican and Spanish, and usually [his last name] should be Peña, but for whatever reason, his side was Pena.”
“When we got married, we realized that we wanted to start fresh,” she said. “We wanted to start a new generation of something. So, we became the PenaVegas.”
And Alexa and Carlos—who both executive produce and star in the new holiday film Get Him Back for Christmas—had quite the adventure ahead of them when they started their new lives together.
“Honestly, we didn’t know if [combining our names] was even possible,” she continued, “but we went into the courthouse and we’re signing all the paperwork, and they’re like, ‘OK, so who’s taking whose last name? What’s happening?’”
