The viewers venturing into the new series W.A.G.s to Riches might know Alexis Welch Stoudemire as the ex-wife of famous retired NBA player Amar’e Stoudemire but she has gone far to create a name for herself through her multipotent business and ventures.

The couple was one of the prominent names on the list to make it for this long. However, the couple filed for divorce in 2021 and was granted the divorce in 2022. They co-parent four children together and maintain an amicable relationship, which involves having a family gathering on Fridays, as mentioned by Alexis in one of the episodes of W.A.G.s to Riches.

Alexis Welch has also opened up about her relationship with Amar’e Stoudemire post-divorce in the show during episode 8 and remarked that it was heartbreaking but the ex-couple focused on nurturing their children and forging a friendly bond. She said in the confessional:

"To me, divorce equates to a death. A death of dreams, a death of the future. But in hindsight, it became a beautiful ugliness."
