Alexa Lemieux Calls Out 'Broken Home' Divorce Criticism as 2026 Outdated

When Alexa Lemieux hears the phrase“broken home,”she doesn’t think about her daughter Vienna — she thinks about an idea that’s way past its expiration date.

The Love Is Blind alum, 31, went on the podcast“He Said, G Said”on Thursday, May 21, to push back against criticism she’s faced since splitting from husband Brennon Lemieux, 35, in fall 2025. Their marriage had lasted nearly five years after they met sight unseen during season 3 of the show in 2021, but sometimes love doesn’t survive the real world. Alexa’s response to the judgment? It’s not the divorce that creates a broken home — it’s staying in something that clearly isn’t working.

“I get so frustrated because I get a lot of commentary of people saying,‘Broken home, broken home.’I’m like,‘Are y’all … for real? Like, it’s 2026,'”Alexa said. She pointed to her own childhood as proof: her parents divorced, and she actually wanted them to.“Everyone was happier afterward and I think that a broken home is not when two parents are apart,”she explained. Her take flips the script entirely — what if keeping a marriage on life support is what damages kids, not the honest decision to end it?

What’s particularly striking is Alexa’s commitment to making the breakup work for Vienna, their 21-month-old daughter. She’s not treating the divorce as a final chapter — it’s a pivot point.“I did mine [in] a very loving way,”she said, emphasizing that she and Brennon are actively figuring out healthy coparenting. She’s clear about her expectations:“All I need from him is to be a good parent, and he does that, so I’m good.”They’re navigating holidays, custody, and the reality that they’ll be in each other’s lives forever because of their shared child.

The divorce is essentially finalized — just waiting for paperwork to file into the system, according to Alexa. But the real work is happening now, in the day-to-day choices about how two people who once stood at the altar are going to show up for their kid. That’s not a broken home. That’s two parents choosing to get it right, even if together wasn’t the answer.
