W.A.G.s to Riches star Alexis Welch Stoudemire was married to basketball star and Olympian Amarā€™e Stoudemire. The couple called off their marriage in April 2021. They have been co-parenting four children and maintain an amicable relationship. In the show, Alexis has been vocal about her dating life after her divorce.

The show introduced Jonathan, a former athlete, as Alexis' partner. In episode 6, fans witnessed Alexis and Jonathan grow closer. The two were taking things slowly as Alexis wanted to dabble into the dating world to be sure about her choice, especially after her divorce. However, in episode 6, Alexis remarked that she felt ready to be in an "intentional" relationship.

During their beach date, the couple discussed their expectations and reservations. Considering her inclination towards Jonathan, Alexis said in the confessional:

"When I first started dating after my divorce, it wasn't amazing but at the same time, I didn't mind because I was stuck in this space of being in a relationship, being committed, going home to one person, to now suddenly being out there and understand what casual s*x was."
" And I am happily dating many people, but it turned into more intentional now 'cause I think now I am ready to settle down into a more serious relationship. "
