On November 28 Alexis gave an interview to The Messenger, where she was asked if she could be the Housewife replacing Taylor Armstrong, and Alexis did not put down the idea.
She said, “I would say, ‘never say never.’ I just feel like I’m in such a good place right now. I think I’m good in my life right now.”
She might have an interest in returning to the franchise but it seems that certain life events have her chained. Alexis recently called off her 3-year engagement with partner Andy Bohn, and on top of that her mother passed away a month ago. She called it the hardest year of her life.
She said, “But I’m doing better now. I don’t think I could have said I’ve been doing okay about a month ago because my mom’s funeral was a month ago. But now I’m trying to turn the corner and I’m definitely feeling more. I’m seeing happiness again, a little bit. I’m trying to grieve properly and not with other options and medications and things, so I feel like I’m doing better.”
