0:38
Speaker 4: Do you remember when we first met?
0:40
Speaker 2: Oh? I like that.
0:41
Speaker 4: That sounds like a question a guy would ask me.
0:44
Speaker 2: But I actually like my ands aer better. Of course
0:47
Speaker 2: I do.
0:47
Speaker 3: How can I forget that day? I have like a
0:50
Speaker 3: big small in my face.
0:51
Speaker 2: Your first day with Herman kind of.
0:54
Speaker 4: It was one of her first dates.
0:56
Speaker 3: And you know, her Ma was very philanthropic, so he
0:58
Speaker 3: always telling a charity that's right, and Herman was always
1:01
Speaker 3: involved in charities and on boards. So he invited me
1:05
Speaker 3: to this event and Lincoln rode at Touch Yeah, touch exactly,
1:09
Speaker 3: And it was Miami Children's that benefited Miami Children's Hospital,
1:13
Speaker 3: and there you were, before your PR agency.
1:17
Speaker 4: You were already doing PR work and you.
1:18
Speaker 2: Didn't even know it.
1:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew I was doing it though, No, but
1:22
Speaker 3: you didn't know well, you knew what you were doing,
1:23
Speaker 3: but I'm saying you didn't know what's gonna do that, right.
1:26
Speaker 3: I was there with Robert, your friend, right, And then
1:29
Speaker 3: I knew Robert from back in the day from high school.
1:33
Speaker 3: Robert kin Terra was one of my dear friends. And
1:35
Speaker 3: we sat down together and we were just like talking,
1:39
Speaker 3: going back and forth in dinner.
1:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:41
Speaker 1: And then later on our cross path our paths crossed
1:47
Speaker 1: went at the PR from the magazine, and then we start.
1:49
Speaker 3: Doing a few years later when you opened up your agency,
1:52
Speaker 3: invited me and I was there to celebrate you. And
1:55
Speaker 3: then from there we just like just became friends like that,
1:59
Speaker 3: Like I had the magazine, we're so friends. We started
2:02
Speaker 3: with working friends, and then we became personal friends.
2:05
Speaker 2: Charity events all the time, that's right. Yeah. And then
2:08
Speaker 2: the show camera well.
2:09
Speaker 4: The show camera on in twenty ten.
2:10
Speaker 2: But we casted two thousand and nine, we did.
2:13
Speaker 3: I don't even remember that, but I remember you be
2:16
Speaker 3: part of it, and I remember Herman allowing me to
2:18
Speaker 3: do it because you were going to be part of
2:20
Speaker 3: the cast.
2:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and Leah. I remember that.
2:22
Speaker 3: Those were like my conditions, right, his conditions. Okay, Leah
2:26
Speaker 3: Black is doing it and Marisolpan's doing it.
2:28
Speaker 1: You did to do it exactly, but without them you
2:30
Speaker 1: can't do it, right.
2:31
Speaker 2: I was like, don't worry, I'm doing it.
2:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're doing it together.
2:35
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, how do we do this?
2:36
Speaker 3: So you started casting for the Housewives.
2:40
Speaker 4: On your own?
2:40
Speaker 2: I went.
2:41
Speaker 1: They were calling my office. They wanted wealthy society women
2:45
Speaker 1: to try out for a show.
2:46
Speaker 4: And for whatever reason, right, they thought that would be good.
2:49
Speaker 2: So I was calling on my friends and their husbands
2:51
Speaker 2: wouldn't let them do anything. And I had this little
2:52
Speaker 2: voice and that would be me. Yeah, exactly. I had
2:55
Speaker 2: this little voice inside of me that was like, maybe
2:57
Speaker 2: you should try out, Maybe you should try out. Anyway,
3:00
Speaker 2: fast forward, here we are, right.
3:02
Speaker 4: So I had the little voice inside of me as well.
3:04
Speaker 2: You did I that, Yeah, I have.
3:10
Speaker 3: So because I was married at the time to like
3:13
Speaker 3: the typical Cuban man Matista, super controlling that wouldn't want
3:17
Speaker 3: to be part of any of this because if you know, Latinos.
3:20
Speaker 2: You know that no Latino wants.
3:22
Speaker 3: Their wife to be on a reality show exposing all
3:25
Speaker 3: the skeletons from the closet.
3:27
Speaker 1: Or doing anything independent that too are outshining them absolutely.
3:31
Speaker 2: And that's the reason why I exactly wanted to do it.
3:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, yes, I right, Like, I'm not
3:36
Speaker 3: going to be your wife, now you're going to be
3:38
Speaker 3: my husband. And that's kind of like what happened a
3:40
Speaker 3: few years later. I mean, I'm kidding about that because
3:43
Speaker 3: you know, I didn't really want to, but I mean
3:44
Speaker 3: I feel like now talking about that, like a lot
3:46
Speaker 3: of women, like, for example, I can only speak for myself,
3:49
Speaker 3: but when not that you've been in the shadow of
3:51
Speaker 3: your husband, but when you're kind of like it's like
3:53
Speaker 3: all about them and you're just like your wife. You know,
3:56
Speaker 3: this opportunity came about and it was really about me.
3:59
Speaker 3: It wasn't about him or about us. It was kind
4:01
Speaker 3: of like something that I wanted to do and I
4:04
Speaker 3: and that's.
4:05
Speaker 2: What I did. So I actually cast it behind.
4:07
Speaker 4: His back, Oh yes, and knew that, Yes, I.
4:10
Speaker 2: Was only my mom. It was only my mom.
4:13
Speaker 3: So a lot of people are in Miami were like,
4:14
Speaker 3: oh my god, Alexia, you would be great for this.
4:18
Speaker 2: Nothing. I had to do it. I had to do it.
4:19
Speaker 3: I like I said, I was married to a very
4:21
Speaker 3: controlling man that would have never been okay with this.
4:23
Speaker 2: Ask you something, well, how did you think that was
4:25
Speaker 2: going to blow over?
4:26
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was going to get picked, So
4:28
Speaker 1: you didn't tell him ntil you got picked?
4:30
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, till the cameras that were coming the next
4:33
Speaker 3: day to meet my family and said, oh my goodness, no,
4:38
Speaker 3: that was that was like asa, you know, give him
4:44
Speaker 3: a couple of drinks and you know everything, everything took
4:47
Speaker 3: care of everything. But he was really reluctant, you know,
4:50
Speaker 3: to doing that because, like I said, I think like
4:51
Speaker 3: us Latinos, you know, it's kind of like it's not okay.
4:55
Speaker 4: You know, it's not okay about you know, talking about certain.
4:58
Speaker 3: Things in that you you don't want, like your family
5:01
Speaker 3: in fronts to know about, and you don't want the
5:03
Speaker 3: world to know about.
5:04
Speaker 2: So we were raised that way.
5:05
Speaker 3: We were raised like you know, you don't exactly you
5:11
Speaker 3: know a lot of the skeletons stay in the closet
5:14
Speaker 3: and that kind of thing. So fast forward, I only
5:16
Speaker 3: had one casting. I know, all the girls in Miami
5:18
Speaker 3: were casting a lot. I only did one casting, and
5:21
Speaker 3: I guess I nailed it. I guess I nailed it
5:23
Speaker 3: because a few minutes later, Yeah, we were.
5:26
Speaker 2: Born to do this.
5:27
Speaker 3: So they told us get ready because we want to
5:30
Speaker 3: meet your family. So that's a different story. But you
5:33
Speaker 3: know that it's now more about you and I now,
5:35
Speaker 3: like you know, that's history. The show already happened, and
5:38
Speaker 3: we're here thirteen years later doing our all of these
5:42
Speaker 3: seasons that we've done.
5:44
Speaker 2: So it's funny because we didn't even know.
5:46
Speaker 3: But again, I think the viewers need to know that
5:49
Speaker 3: one of the reasons that I was able to do
5:51
Speaker 3: this show was because of you, because they also picked
5:54
Speaker 3: you and they picked Leah. So Herman had a relationship
5:57
Speaker 3: with you and with Leah, and he's like, okay A,
6:00
Speaker 3: Lea and Marisol are doing it.
6:02
Speaker 2: I'll let you do it. I didn't have to ask
6:03
Speaker 2: anyone for profession.
6:05
Speaker 3: Well that's a good thing about being a single and
6:07
Speaker 3: independent right. Yeah, Robot was recruiting and I didn't know,
6:11
Speaker 3: but you were there were you know, they were casting
6:14
Speaker 3: you and they were casting me. And fast forward, we
6:17
Speaker 3: both found out that we were selected and then our
6:20
Speaker 3: journey started as housewives on this amazing franchise and show.
6:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love it.
6:26
Speaker 4: So do you remember what it was like like filming
6:28
Speaker 4: back then like versus now?
6:30
Speaker 2: It was like the blind leading the blind.
6:31
Speaker 1: Nobody knew what they were doing, especially season one, We're like,
6:34
Speaker 1: what are we doing?
6:35
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I didn't even know, like it was
6:37
Speaker 3: a housewife show for that matter. I think that that
6:39
Speaker 3: was another reason why Herman let me do it, because
6:42
Speaker 3: it was kind of like it was untitled. Nobody knew
6:44
Speaker 3: even though I always knew, like deep in my heart,
6:46
Speaker 3: I was like, this sounds like a housewife show.
6:49
Speaker 4: Like so, I'm not sure. I didn't want to give
6:51
Speaker 4: it you know that yet.
6:52
Speaker 3: But it's like you said, like, we didn't know what
6:54
Speaker 3: we're doing, you know, we signed up for something that
6:57
Speaker 3: we didn't know, even though obviously there was other shows
6:59
Speaker 3: going on the air.
7:00
Speaker 2: But I didn't really know what I was doing.
7:03
Speaker 3: And I feel like you and I we both did
7:05
Speaker 3: it because of our businesses. Like I had the magazine
7:08
Speaker 3: back then venue I thought it was a great business
7:10
Speaker 3: opportunity to you know, have my magazine like all over
7:15
Speaker 3: the world and for sure nationally, you know, I wanted
7:18
Speaker 3: to do like the crossover, even though it's a Spanish magazine,
7:21
Speaker 3: the crossover into the American market, I thought would be
7:24
Speaker 3: super cool. I wanted to showcase, like, you know, all
7:26
Speaker 3: my covers of all like the Hispano Hispanics, you know,
7:30
Speaker 3: Latinos and I had on the cover, and I was
7:33
Speaker 3: super excited. I really I think I had a lot
7:35
Speaker 3: to do with it because of that. I always saw
7:38
Speaker 3: it like a good platform and a good business. It
7:40
Speaker 3: made sense business one.
7:42
Speaker 2: That's why I did it.
7:42
Speaker 1: I thought it would be really great for business. I was,
7:45
Speaker 1: we were doing amazing. I thought, imagine the potential.
7:48
Speaker 4: Right, And I feel like back then, we can get
7:50
Speaker 4: away with so much more. Right, there was no social media.
7:53
Speaker 2: It was the internet, but tsave.
7:55
Speaker 3: You didn't have to Nowadays it's like you can't get
7:57
Speaker 3: away with nothing. Like thirteen years later, or we're doing
8:00
Speaker 3: this show and it's like everybody has an opinion.
8:04
Speaker 4: There's no secrets, there's no privacy.
8:07
Speaker 2: You get in trouble for everything. Yeah, have to be
8:09
Speaker 2: extremely cautious memory love everything.
8:13
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like there's so many haters. I
8:14
Speaker 3: think like back then, I didn't realize. I mean, unfortunately,
8:17
Speaker 3: I know that there's a lot of hate in the world,
8:20
Speaker 3: and but we really didn't know how it worked like
8:23
Speaker 3: it was.
8:23
Speaker 4: We weren't so aware of the hate, right.
8:26
Speaker 3: And I think now with social media, especially Instagram, where
8:30
Speaker 3: people can just like just go on your page and
8:32
Speaker 3: write whatever comments they want, it's it's a whole different world. Yeah,
8:37
Speaker 3: and I don't like it pretty bad.
8:42
Speaker 1: I wake up sometimes I'm like, let me check my
8:44
Speaker 1: insults for the day.
8:48
Speaker 3: Well, I'll leave that to you because I don't check anything.
8:50
Speaker 3: I don't even have time to check my real emails.
8:52
Speaker 3: So I really don't care what you know, Joey from
8:55
Speaker 3: Indiana thinks about me or my family, because, like I said,
8:59
Speaker 3: you know, you have to sometimes just like, oh.
9:02
Speaker 2: No, you can't. You can't listen to that, or else
9:04
Speaker 2: we wouldn't be able to do what we do. Yeah.
9:08
Speaker 1: You know what I like about you is you're always
9:10
Speaker 1: ready to have fun and party with me, no matter
9:12
Speaker 1: what time it is.
9:13
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, And it's not the same in reverse.
9:16
Speaker 1: Sometimes elect you likes to party a lot, which I love,
9:19
Speaker 1: But sometimes I'm not always down to party. If you
9:21
Speaker 1: can believe that, all right, you get all the credit
9:24
Speaker 1: for it, right, it's the kind of the reverse, right.
9:27
Speaker 3: But I think we bring out the best in each
9:29
Speaker 3: of each other, right, Like I see you, we both
9:31
Speaker 3: like glide each other up no matter what are days going, like,
9:34
Speaker 3: we just see each other even without a cocky and
9:37
Speaker 3: we just kind of like smile and we just have
9:40
Speaker 3: like this like this love and just looking.
9:43
Speaker 1: At things like home and I'm like, oh, no, that's
9:45
Speaker 1: going to be fun because you always make me laugh.
9:47
Speaker 2: I think I make you laugh.
9:48
Speaker 3: You like my drinks, right, No, I love And you're
9:52
Speaker 3: also a really good listener because you know, I have
9:54
Speaker 3: a lot of things to say.
9:55
Speaker 2: I'm a good sounding board. You give good advice than
10:01
Speaker 2: you are.
10:02
Speaker 3: You are You're like since I think because you never
10:04
Speaker 3: had like a sister growing up. I know you've had
10:06
Speaker 3: a lot of friends, but I feel like you're that friend.
10:09
Speaker 3: You know you love to have friends, you like you
10:11
Speaker 3: do love girls.
10:13
Speaker 2: You know I love girlfriends. Yeah, yeah, And I love
10:16
Speaker 2: that about you. I am. I love that you love
10:18
Speaker 2: to have fun. Yeah, and here we are.
10:20
Speaker 3: We've had so many fun moments in our lives. You know,
10:23
Speaker 3: we've also unfortunately had sad moments. And you've also been
10:25
Speaker 3: there for me and you know, any momento, but you
10:30
Speaker 3: know you made me stronger and you made me stronger, right,
10:34
Speaker 3: And I think that that's why our relationship and our
10:36
Speaker 3: friendship is the way it is.
10:37
Speaker 1: We appreciate a lot of things on each other, and
10:41
Speaker 1: I feel like you don't take it for granted.
10:42
Speaker 3: Bro, I don't take you for granted either. It's been
10:47
Speaker 3: a while, it's been twenty three years.
10:48
Speaker 2: I can't believe it.
10:49
Speaker 3: It was like that we could just sit here and
10:51
Speaker 3: talk about like all our crazy nights that we've had together. Okay,
10:55
Speaker 3: which one, especially when I was single, I was like,
10:58
Speaker 3: let loose out of the bird case. Oh remember, yeah

11:30
Speaker 3: I don't care what anybody's fighting about. I'm freestyling right. Well,
11:34
Speaker 3: that's what it should be about. Yeah, so before we
11:36
Speaker 3: get into our next segment, we're going to take a
11:38
Speaker 3: quick break and we'll be back with some hot topics.
11:51
Speaker 2: Okay, Alex, Yeah, what's our first hot topic?
11:54
Speaker 3: I feel our first hot topic should be Anna did
11:56
Speaker 3: Armas on Saturday Night Live.
11:59
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was.
12:00
Speaker 4: How incredible was that?
12:02
Speaker 2: Oh my god? It was so high.
12:04
Speaker 4: I had goose swims all over me. I was like screaming.
12:07
Speaker 3: First of all, I'm a huge fan of hers, and
12:09
Speaker 3: the fact that she's Cuban.
12:11
Speaker 2: I was hoping she gets that even more.
12:13
Speaker 3: But she was nominated as Best Actress and she totally
12:16
Speaker 3: deserves it.
12:18
Speaker 2: She's beautiful.
12:19
Speaker 3: And we were out to dinner today and we came
12:22
Speaker 3: home Saturday night and to turn on.
12:24
Speaker 2: And we watched it.
12:25
Speaker 3: Yes, and we watched it, and I was like, babe,
12:28
Speaker 3: oh my god, she's speaking Spanish.
12:31
Speaker 1: I got goosebumps just like I have right now. Likes
12:34
Speaker 1: to her Cuban accent, but her English is really good.
12:37
Speaker 1: You can't tell well, just like us. Right It's like,
12:39
Speaker 1: I'm Cuban American, you have an accent. I have an accent.
12:44
Speaker 1: It's Miami, but you know what I mean.
12:46
Speaker 3: So she did live in Spain for many years, so
12:49
Speaker 3: her she did, right, but she's an actress, like, we're
12:51
Speaker 3: not right, I'm an actress, okay. So anyways, I was
12:54
Speaker 3: so proud, like being Latina. I can totally relate to
12:57
Speaker 3: her and the fact of hearing on Saturday Night Live
13:02
Speaker 3: speaking Spanish and opening up in Spanish in Gracias, and
13:07
Speaker 3: I loved how she like turned it into fun, like
13:10
Speaker 3: I'm just joking, like I can literally speak English, right,
13:13
Speaker 3: I speak English as well.
13:14
Speaker 2: She killed it. I was looking at her, thinking that's
13:16
Speaker 2: going to be me one day, I'm gonna host. I
13:19
Speaker 2: was thinking the same thing.
13:22
Speaker 3: I'm really proud again, like I said, of just having
13:25
Speaker 3: that representation and that the world is finally understanding that
13:30
Speaker 3: Spanish is a very important language and not only our language.
13:35
Speaker 4: But our culture. You know, Latinos are in style like that.
13:38
Speaker 2: I really believe that. I really think Latinos like we're trending.
13:43
Speaker 2: We make them the more. Well.
13:45
Speaker 3: I feel like we've shown that in our show as well.
13:48
Speaker 3: We're like incorporating, like what we're doing now. You know,
13:50
Speaker 3: we speak Spanish, we speak English, you know, and we
13:53
Speaker 3: and we can do it all.
13:54
Speaker 2: We sure can, honey.
13:56
Speaker 3: We sure can. So if Anna there a armors wasn't enough,
14:01
Speaker 3: she brought into her Spanish lesson the musical guest, which
14:05
Speaker 3: was Carol Gee. I'm obsessed with Carol g So, by
14:09
Speaker 3: the way, she lived in my building.
14:11
Speaker 2: She was girlfriend.
14:12
Speaker 4: She was Annual's girlfriend. Annual is the.
14:16
Speaker 3: From Puerto Rico, and so she lived in my building.
14:20
Speaker 3: She's just as nice and sweet as you saw her.
14:23
Speaker 2: She's Colombian.
14:24
Speaker 3: And her music she has a song called Dusa It's everything.
14:29
Speaker 3: So she performed. She was trying to, you know, in
14:33
Speaker 3: her class, she was trying to show them the alphabet
14:35
Speaker 3: in Spanish.
14:36
Speaker 4: So it's like, ah, bay see sexy alphabet, super super cute.
14:41
Speaker 3: So the fact that they co hosted two latinas, co
14:44
Speaker 3: hosted the Saturday Night Life, that's huge.
14:47
Speaker 4: It's just it's just everything.
14:48
Speaker 3: So it's a lot to be grateful and proud about.
14:53
Speaker 2: We're next. Oh yeah, I'm not giving up to work there,
14:56
Speaker 2: that's for sure. And I don't know I'm a Saturday
14:57
Speaker 2: Night Live.
14:58
Speaker 4: You could be the funny one. You're actually really funny.
15:01
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind a regular role on there, well I would.
15:03
Speaker 4: That's a lot of work.
15:04
Speaker 2: And talk to Lauren Michaels.
15:07
Speaker 3: Okay, so bad Bunny is also trending and he's like,
15:11
Speaker 3: he's he's huge right now. And I don't blame Kendall,
15:15
Speaker 3: like who would not want to date?
15:17
Speaker 1: But those girls are all free styling. All the Kardashians
15:19
Speaker 1: are freestyling. They're going through like dating all the hot guys.
15:23
Speaker 1: And horseback riding on a beach with a Puerto Rican
15:26
Speaker 1: guy sounds good to me.
15:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too.
15:28
Speaker 3: I think he's giving her some mofongo and she tried
15:32
Speaker 3: it and she liked it, and she's not letting go right, so,
15:38
Speaker 3: you know, I feel like, who's you know, some people
15:41
Speaker 3: might say that it's a publicity stunt just because she's
15:44
Speaker 3: a Kardashian, you know, and they kind of like do
15:46
Speaker 3: that a lot.
15:46
Speaker 2: Well, I can't speak for them. I don't think they
15:48
Speaker 2: do that.
15:49
Speaker 3: I think they know what's good, and I think, oh,
15:52
Speaker 3: this one's like, this is a good one, you know
15:53
Speaker 3: what I mean. He's like, he's cute, he's super talented,
15:56
Speaker 3: he's a very smart guy.
15:58
Speaker 4: He's very Puerto.
15:59
Speaker 3: Rican, you know, and he is and what I mean
16:02
Speaker 3: by that, what I mean by that is the fact
16:05
Speaker 3: that he loves his culture.
16:06
Speaker 4: He loves his island. He's very proud to be who
16:08
Speaker 4: he is.
16:09
Speaker 3: He hardly even speaks English, so hopefully Kencels teach him
16:12
Speaker 3: a little bit of English.
16:13
Speaker 2: Maybe that's playing it along so well they can't communicate exactly.
16:19
Speaker 3: Hopefully she's learning a little bit of Spanish and she'll
16:21
Speaker 3: be speaking Spanglish like us very soon.
16:24
Speaker 4: And why not, you know, why not?
16:25
Speaker 3: Why do people have to say, oh, it's for publicity,
16:28
Speaker 3: Oh it's for the show, you know what we can think?
16:30
Speaker 1: Because the people think that about all of them. So
16:33
Speaker 1: they're always going to think that the minute they're dating
16:35
Speaker 1: somebody new.
16:35
Speaker 3: Right, But why can't people just think that people actually
16:39
Speaker 3: like each other And it doesn't matter who you are,
16:42
Speaker 3: you know, where you're from.
16:44
Speaker 4: Listen, back in the day, I dated a lot.
16:47
Speaker 1: They could have thought the same thing about me, but
16:48
Speaker 1: I wasn't under a microscope.
16:50
Speaker 4: So unfortunately everybody's watching them under a microscope.
16:52
Speaker 3: That's true, and like, and how would that be beneficial
16:55
Speaker 3: to her or beneficial to him?
16:57
Speaker 2: You know?
16:58
Speaker 3: I think that these two people are like at the
17:01
Speaker 3: top of the world, you know what I mean. So
17:03
Speaker 3: I think that the only benefit they would have is
17:06
Speaker 3: that they would actually like each other and learn from
17:08
Speaker 3: each other, Like she could learn a little.
17:09
Speaker 2: Spanish, she can learn how to move book.
17:11
Speaker 3: I saw her in Coachella and yeah, she was like
17:14
Speaker 3: moving like oh really, oh yeah, she was throwing those
17:16
Speaker 3: moves in there, like you know, the little saltsa and
17:18
Speaker 3: the little thing the candle.
17:20
Speaker 4: Yeah.
17:21
Speaker 3: I feel that they can both benefit from each other
17:24
Speaker 3: and even like be.
17:24
Speaker 2: Better than what they are.
17:36
Speaker 4: So let's talk about Shaquiro.
17:38
Speaker 3: Now that we're speaking about all these like fabulous Latinos
17:41
Speaker 3: and that they're known all over the world because of
17:45
Speaker 3: the incredible talent that they have and also because they're
17:48
Speaker 3: public people. I mean, whether we like it or not,
17:51
Speaker 3: you know, we or they in this case, you know,
17:54
Speaker 3: sign up, but not really to show their public life.
17:57
Speaker 3: You know, they have a different life than we do,
17:59
Speaker 3: for example, Right, So I can only say that I
18:02
Speaker 3: kind of signed up to do the show, which is
18:04
Speaker 3: a reality show where I open up my life, you know,
18:07
Speaker 3: to the viewers and to the audience. So in Shakira's case,
18:11
Speaker 3: she opens up her musical life, you know, her talent,
18:14
Speaker 3: her singing, you know, to the audience, but not necessarily
18:19
Speaker 3: her personal life. Unfortunately, it goes hand in hand yeah, right,
18:24
Speaker 3: and it's part of the game. And it's really difficult
18:27
Speaker 3: to separate both. Even though we know Shakira as a singer,
18:32
Speaker 3: we also know her married to Piquet, which is also
18:35
Speaker 3: another public figure and an athlete.
18:38
Speaker 4: So it's really hard.
18:39
Speaker 3: But when it comes to the kids, I totally feel
18:43
Speaker 3: for her because these kids are young kids and you know,
18:47
Speaker 3: I have children, you have step children, and you.
18:50
Speaker 2: Know, our kids have nothing to do with this, of.
18:52
Speaker 1: Course, and it's very dangerous for them also for people
18:55
Speaker 1: to see their faces. They could be kidnapped, you know, right.
18:57
Speaker 3: I mean she's pretty in the public eye, a little it,
19:00
Speaker 3: but you know, and she controls it, like she's controlling
19:02
Speaker 3: obviously the errors, as she should because she's a parent
19:05
Speaker 3: and we want to protect our children. And in this case,
19:08
Speaker 3: like why is it important for the paparazzi to follow
19:11
Speaker 3: her children to school? Like I don't agree with that,
19:14
Speaker 3: Like how do you feel about that? And why is
19:16
Speaker 3: that important to get a shot of her kids at school?
19:18
Speaker 3: Isn't it hard enough with her kids or going through
19:21
Speaker 3: you know what I mean already publicly that they're going through,
19:24
Speaker 3: you know, such a horrible divorce, you know, in front
19:27
Speaker 3: of the world. And they're already at an age that
19:29
Speaker 3: they can read and write and and and they're connected
19:32
Speaker 3: to the internet, and they have their friends at.
19:34
Speaker 2: School, and their friends don't have the same life.
19:37
Speaker 4: They don't understand, right, I think, why this?
19:40
Speaker 1: You know, when you don't want to show your children
19:43
Speaker 1: and they know it's something you're trying to hide, that's
19:45
Speaker 1: when they want it more.
19:47
Speaker 4: They go after it more. But the children to be untouchable.
19:51
Speaker 3: They're going to you know what, if they want to
19:53
Speaker 3: picture Shakira on the beach with her hot body in
19:56
Speaker 3: Miami Beach.
19:57
Speaker 4: I'm totally for it, believe for kids alone.
20:00
Speaker 2: But they don't. They're don't you know, they want that shot.
20:03
Speaker 1: They know that's the shot that she doesn't want to
20:05
Speaker 1: get out there, so they want it even more, you know, right.
20:08
Speaker 3: So you know, I do wort the fact that she
20:09
Speaker 3: did put that on Instagram, and that's kind of like
20:12
Speaker 3: what gives up we were talking about the power of
20:14
Speaker 3: social media.
20:15
Speaker 2: Don't you think that's going to make it even worse.
20:19
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm hoping that it won't make it worse.
20:22
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that's to be worse. But I feel like
20:24
Speaker 3: it's just right. But I feel that that's why she
20:26
Speaker 3: actually left Barcelona. You know, she wanted to come because
20:30
Speaker 3: in Barcelona, I can say because I lived in Madrid
20:33
Speaker 3: and I know how important, you know, in Spain the
20:36
Speaker 3: whole media is and how they haunt you. You know,
20:39
Speaker 3: that's why Juliglesias ended up living here, you know, Seiglesia.
20:42
Speaker 3: They wanted to come here for privacy because I feel that,
20:46
Speaker 3: in especially in Spain, that they really don't respect that,
20:50
Speaker 3: Like they're like obsessed with coming out in Ola and
20:53
Speaker 3: getting the pictures, you know, and Ola magazine.
20:56
Speaker 2: Mother loved it, yes, my mom, and so did I.
20:59
Speaker 4: When I moved to I would buy it every week.
21:01
Speaker 4: I was like obsessed with.
21:02
Speaker 2: It and the Monico family. So you know, I feel like.
21:06
Speaker 3: The media needs to respect that. She had to leave
21:08
Speaker 3: her home in Barcelona in Spain because she couldn't have
21:12
Speaker 3: a life there with her kids, you know, following them,
21:15
Speaker 3: and you know, no matter what, you know, her husband,
21:17
Speaker 3: her ex husband soon you know, is Spanish and he
21:21
Speaker 3: was always going to call that kind of attention. And
21:24
Speaker 3: she moved to Miami, and you know, and I feel
21:26
Speaker 3: like in Miami she'll get less of it, and it's
21:28
Speaker 3: only like about a matter of time, Like now it's
21:30
Speaker 3: like the topic.
21:31
Speaker 4: But you know, hopefully soon they'll get over it after
21:33
Speaker 4: a little Yeah, they'll have somebody else to talk about, right,
21:36
Speaker 4: and somebody else to follow.
21:37
Speaker 1: It's very intrusive, and you know that's a you know,
21:42
Speaker 1: a lot of people always ask me, don't you want.
21:44
Speaker 2: To be a housewife? Why aren't you a housewife? And
21:47
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's a combination of things.
21:50
Speaker 1: But you know, one of the biggest points.
21:52
Speaker 4: Is I.
21:54
Speaker 2: Got married a couple of years ago.
21:56
Speaker 1: As you obviously know, Alexia and I have a couple
21:59
Speaker 1: of teens step sons who you know, were a new
22:03
Speaker 1: little family that's formed, and literally like almost what a
22:09
Speaker 1: year or six months after I was married, the show
22:13
Speaker 1: was picked back up and it was, you know, just
22:16
Speaker 1: too much to throw into this new little unit. And
22:20
Speaker 1: the boys are also you know, they don't understand any
22:23
Speaker 1: of that, right, It's very.
22:24
Speaker 2: Important to show a family on the show.
22:27
Speaker 1: People need to see that, and that's you know, one
22:30
Speaker 1: of the big reasons and one of the you know,
22:35
Speaker 1: it's the biggest reason that.
22:36
Speaker 4: You have to write.
22:37
Speaker 3: Everyone feels, you know, about their privacy and it's like, yes,
22:41
Speaker 3: you know, you signed up for this in my case,
22:43
Speaker 3: you know, my children are very much involved, and it's
22:48
Speaker 3: not because I wanted it that way. Like we said
22:52
Speaker 3: many years ago, these shows were a little different and
22:56
Speaker 3: we didn't know what was going to happen.
22:58
Speaker 4: But my children really didn't have a say.
23:00
Speaker 3: And my children work, you know, under eighteen maybe if
23:03
Speaker 3: I would have to do it again.
23:04
Speaker 4: And they're your children, right, these are not my children, right, No.
23:07
Speaker 3: And I also have step daughters that, by the way,
23:09
Speaker 3: are in the same situation that your boys are in,
23:13
Speaker 3: and they don't like it and they don't want to participate.
23:16
Speaker 3: And I respect that, you know that at such a
23:18
Speaker 3: young age, you know, they already know that they're not
23:21
Speaker 3: comfortable with it, and as a parent and as a stepmom,
23:23
Speaker 3: I need to recognize that and give them their space
23:26
Speaker 3: and and respect that that they can make their own decisions.
23:30
Speaker 4: Unfortunately I didn't do that to my kids.
23:32
Speaker 3: It's kind of like too bad. Yeah, yeah, and then
23:35
Speaker 3: now like they love them. But you know, with the
23:37
Speaker 3: good comes to the bad. So yes, there's going to
23:39
Speaker 3: be a lot of people that love and support and
23:41
Speaker 3: say nice things, but there's also going to be a
23:43
Speaker 3: lot of people.
23:44
Speaker 4: That jump on you exactly and.
23:46
Speaker 2: That's what it has been, you know, for us.
23:49
Speaker 1: And it's very hard when you're so young in those
23:50
Speaker 1: formative years to get all that criticism and attention.
23:53
Speaker 4: You have to be very of course, yeah, I agree.
23:57
Speaker 3: And you know, luckily for my kids, I guess and says,
24:00
Speaker 3: they're at a younger age, they're kind of like, you know,
24:03
Speaker 3: grown into it and kind of.
24:04
Speaker 4: Like accepted it.
24:05
Speaker 3: But you know, it does break them, and you know
24:07
Speaker 3: it does. And like I said, you have to grow
24:08
Speaker 3: thick skin and don't even read any of that.
24:11
Speaker 4: Focus on the good comments.
24:13
Speaker 3: Focus on you know, your real friends and family that
24:16
Speaker 3: know you and love you for who you are.
24:18
Speaker 4: Because this is just a show at the end of
24:19
Speaker 4: the day.
24:20
Speaker 3: It's just a show, you know, and you're going to
24:21
Speaker 3: see what maybe some things you want to see in
24:23
Speaker 3: some things you don't want to see. But you know,
24:25
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you can never lose,
24:28
Speaker 3: you know, sight of who you really are and of
24:31
Speaker 3: you know, like of your purpose, of your purpose and
