As the mom of a 1 and 3 year old, I can understand the scenes with your children completely! I hesitate to take my kids to the supermarket! I love that you let them just be kids and think they are wonderful little boys!

I was shocked by the anger that Simon showed in the cab on your birthday. I felt like he ruined your evening with his awful temper. Get that under control Simon, it's not pretty. It scared me to think what you might be like with the cameras off.

Alex, I think you are a very talented artist. You did a very beautiful job with Bethanny's ad for "Skinny Girls" margueritas. Surely companies are clamoring for you to work for them? Have you gotten more of this type of work since that show aired?

ALEX'S EARRINGS SHE GOT FOR HER BIRTHDAY IN SEASON 2 SHE WAS WEARING IN SEASON 1!!!!!!!!!! WHY DID SIMON LIE AND TAKE HER TO A JEWLER AND BUY HER EARRINGS THAT SHE ALREADY HAD. SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY JUST WANTED TO SHOW THEY COULD BUY NICE THINGS FOR EACH OTHER WHEN THEY CLEARLY DIDNT HAVE THE MONEY.

You've grown on me this season, and you're one of my favorites. This season doesn't depict you and Simon around each other as much, either that or you designing Bethenny's logo shows more of what you do for a living, and that's more interesting than seeing you bring your husband to a girls night out! Or maybe I've gotten used to it since you still go shopping together.

Alex your expressions in the car were painful to witness. I felt for you...what is up with Simon's anger? Definitely frightening. I can't watch that scene once more because you didn't deserve that. Simon appears to be another of your sons. Perhaps all three might grow up together? You are being held back by him.

I am so glad to see people really giving you the credit that you and Simon deserve. I liked you last year and thought that some of the other Housewives were very judgemental. You seem very strong and capable. You don't engage in mean spirited gossip. If you have something to say, you will say it to their face. You stand up for yourself and your family in a composed articulate way. You have class and poise. Much success to you and your family.

Alex, I wanted to say I think you're fabulous. I think that you handle yourself with class and dignity and I think your marriage is amazing. You're so candid on the show and a genuine person. I was appalled at how Simon had been treated at the "girls night out" dinner party during the first season, and I thought how he has been nothing but respectful to everyone he meets. To be met with such blatant disrespect literally made me break out in a sweat. I'd have been all over her and had I been the host would've asked her to leave for such inappropriate behavior. I just wanted to applaud you for being such a lovely person, inside and out. And I sincerely hope the show continues as I want nothing more than to see that house completed!!

Great Blessings to you and your family!
Lisa

As a very new viewer, I think you are the classiest lady on the show. Jill is the runner up. She does get on my nerves with her narcissism but she isn't as catty as the others. 'The Countess' tries to have class, but she uses her title to obnoxious annoyance, ...excuse me, this is America. YOU, are the one with the class and they could all learn something from your demeanor. Best wishes to you and your family!

Alex,

We love you and Simon. You are a great couple. I like the way you hang out with the boys and you show the viewers that you really care about spending time with your family. Family is everything! By the way I am sorry to here about your job.

Alex,
I didn't like you at first, but you have really come around. I think you are very genuine, kind person and a good friend to have. Your also a very talented artist.

Alex, I agree with all the positive comments about you. You have an amazing relationship with your husband and children. You are very gentile, intelligent and mindful of the moment. You stand out in the show because both you and Simon are not about negative comments and discord.

I want to meet a person like Simon Love you both your real honest and both loving people. At 65 it's truly hard to find a man as you have Alex God love you.

Dear Alex,

When I'm wrong, I admit it. I was wrong in writing to you to criticize you and Simon. After watching the past few episodes of your show, I now realize that you and Simon are fine.

It's Mario that needs a complete personality overhaul.

Good luck with everything.

TVannie

Alex,
you are by far my favourite, and the one with the most class. I am so happy to see you and your husdand spending time with your children, and how well you interact with them. You are very considerate of eachother....I watch the show because of you two. The others are just plain phony!

Alex ~ I think you are amazing! I know that shows like RHoNY are edited to make "characters" out of the people on them. Last season I didn't like the way the show made you and Simon look. This season I'm seeing more of who you really are. My husband and I are a lot like you and Simon and people don't get how we want to always be together either.

I think you are an amazing woman and wish all the best for you. I went over to look at your family website and saw you were recently laid off. I'm so sorry to hear about that. No dates were given; keep being positive and you will land an amazing opportunity!!

Alex,
I think that you and Simone are soulmates that share a very special bond that has been reincarnated by your off springs. You two keep being very loving parents (as if the world needs less of them), and pay no one no mind to the haters because love is love and as long as you two love your creator, your children and yourselfs then nothing and nobody else matters.

Alex, sharing your birthday with your husband of course was special,but sharing your birthday with your children is really special.Money could'nt buy that special moment.You and Simon keep being the best parents you can be, don't let negetivity get in your way.

Hi Alex,
I've always been a fan of yours, and this season i've come to adore you and simon as a couple. you two are far more classy than Ramona & Mario. However, Simon is fast becoming the husband whom you wish would just sit there and look pretty. Even though a man can never really win an altercation with a woman, it also doesnt help that the man will always turn out looking like a CAD! i.e, ramona and simon, mario & jill......

Hi Alex, I like you and Simon becaues you both look happy together. It is hard to find your soul mate in life very little pepole do. I also am lucky to have found mine. Alex the only thing I see wrong is the way your boys behave they dont seem to act well in public, being a mother of two wonderful boys my self I dont have much to offer them when we go out but they never act crazy they understand and are always on there best behavior. I always thought pepole with money would know how to rasie their kids proper. Kids will be kids you should try a time out when they act crazy,they are both handsome little boys and seem to be smart.

Your marriage is so much like mine. My husband and I are each others best friend. We do not like to go any where without each other. We enjoy each other that much. My friends and co-workers have criticized me and think I have no life. I believe they have something missing in their lives and are jelious of my relationship. I take it with a grain of thought. I hope you and Simon have a long and happy marriage, oh, and yes your boys will slow down when they get older. My boys have. They are 18 and 17 now. They grow up so fast. Take care

Alex, would love to see you doing a talk show--I saw you in
a group discussion on another television show and thought you were very good. I think everyone was envious watching you decorate for halloween with your family--so nice to see.

Alex, I must concur that Jill was unfair in her comparison of your children and Kelly's. I have 4 children - two little boys and two girls. Mothers of only girls (like Jill) don't have a clue what it is like to try and ask a pre-school aged boy to sit still. Boys are simply filled with the wiggles and there is no way around it. It doesn't mean they are ill-behaved, it means they are boys. My girls, on the other hand, could (and do) sit still and behave. Because they are girls. Not because they have been "better parented" - all 4 have the same parents. You are doing a great job with your boys - they seem lively, inquisitive and very loving. And you and Simon are certainly more plugged in than some of the other parents I've seen on the show. :-)

Hey Alex, I have too lost my job, and your so strong at times and such a real lady at the same time. I hope that you handle this well. Your husband is a great part of your life, and he's gonna make this easy for you. Good luck. Your just so smart

Hi Alex, You and your husband have such a great relationship and it was nice to see how excited you were to spend time with your children on your birthday. I think it's so rare to see a man be so thoughtful towards his wife that nobody knows what to make of it. We need more husbands to follow Simon's lead!

On another note, I'm confused about your house. Why don't you hire a bunch of workers to get it finished?

Alex, I have NEVER "blogged" in my life, but as a new viewer to the show I must tell you that I find your realtionship with your husband quite charming. And you have such grace, beauty and restraint in the throes of incredibly rude castmates. I am not a mother, but I do have a toddler nephew and, believe me, your children's behaviour is FINE! Come on, they are being young BOYS - they just have a lot of energy. I would rather you accept them then stifle their spirits and send them to therapy for 20 of their adult years.

You are quietly beautiful, intelligent and appreciative. My God, one of the other castmates recived an expensive SUV for her birthday and within two minutes found a complaint to rattle off to the giver, her poor husband.

Best to you and your husband...

Dear Alex & Simon,
I really wasn't a fan of the two of you in the begining, but NOW I Love you and Simon. You two are quite the couple. Keep Love Alive in what ever fashion or style you so desire!!!

Alex and Simon,
When the show shows you with your sons it is nice to see how real you can be. Children of that age don't care how much money you have or what social circles you are in. You can learn alot from your children about what is really important in life.

Alex,

Love you and Simon, love your quirkiness and fearlessness to just be yourselves. You are genuine about what you love and have a great relationship with your husband. Of all the couples on this show, I'd want to be introduced you both.

The first thing I would like to say, Alex I think you are the most real of the Real Housewives. Your relationship with your husband is beautiful. I have a husband that is just as amazing. We have been married for 25yrs. and it seems like yesterday we were just married. The second is I think the show has graduated to an infomercial. Everyone has a new venture or business they are exploiting. Enough already, lets get back to The Real Housewives and their families and leave the infomercials to late night TV.

Alex, last season, I was skeptical about you & Simon, but this season I find I like you both more & more-although I think that you both spend too much time "keeping up with the Jones" and worry that you are living above your means--I must say I admire the respect you have for one another, and the fact that you never stoop to the level of some of the other housewives--you are both always gracious.. It is very unfair of Jill to compare your boys behavior to Kellys' daugthers-as you said they are in 2 difficult age catagories. I loved how happy you & your family were celebrating your birthday together. that's worth more than the price of your earrings, but I am sure you know that-I wish you both the best, and I do hope we get a chance to see the completion of the renovations on your house

Alex, You should be proud of your boys. They behave age appropriately. Only people who have never been around young boys, would be critical of them and you. As a foster mother I can assure you that your children are awesome. They clearly are loved and are also loving in their behavior. Unfortunately, I was not sure if it was Francois or Johan who tugged my heartstrings with "I love you, Mommy."

P.S. I'd give up on Ramona. Clearly her opinions change with her moods.

okay i love jill. and alex & simon you two are great together forget ramona, what does she know anyway!!! and bettany your up top and whats her face{kelly who} is below you honey! ignore her.

Alex, I think that you have a beautiful soul and you are so calming and friendly. Your wonderful husband is lucky to have you. Stay on the show please.

You have lots of love in your life and that's a good thing- people might be jealous of this. I figured the scene with Simon was stage/edited/created for TF. He loves you so much that he was upset by the plan not going through as he planned. I have been there and empathized with him! Lastly, your writing is excellent. You have a gift, girl! Keep going.

Alex, I think that you have taken a lot of heat and digs from cast and public since the start of the show. Though I originally may have agreed with some, I must say I have never once seen you lose composure or lower yourself to anyone else's standards. You (alone) maintain the high-road and it is commendable and can not be easy.

HI,ALEX,
I AGREE WITH THE " VIEWER " WHO SAID " NO BIG EXPLANATION " IS NEEDED ABOUT THE ARGUMENT IN THE CAR. IT IS OBVIOUS THE EDITING IS DONE TO KEEP THE VIEWERS GUESSING AND TALKING ABOUT YOU AND SIMON.
MORE MARRIGES ARE NEEDED LIKE YOURE'S, SO DO NOT LET YOUR CASTMATE'S RAIN ON YOUR PARADE, ESPECIALLY RAMONA. SOMETIMES I COULD JUST SLAP HER. SHE MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL, AND SHE HAS NO DEPTH. SOUND FAMILIAR? LOL SHE ONLY HAS A LOUD MOUTH THAT SHE NEEDS TO BE TAPE UP SOMETIMES WITH KELLY'S.
YOUR BIRTHDAY WAS BEAUTIFUL, AS WAS THE GORGEOUS EARRINGS. SIMON JUST ADORES YOU. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOB HUNTING, AND YOUR RENOVATION. ANY EMPLOYER WITH YOUR SKILLS WOULD BE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU.
FORGIVE THE CAPITAL LETTERS, BUT, THE COMMENT SECTION LETTERS IS SO SMALL, IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ. HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

I 100% agree with you about comparing your boys to Kelly girls is not fair. I am the mother of four boys, including twins, and would never have been able to control them at a fancy dinner party. It's not a question of "good" or "bad", just temperment. I think the other ladies have selective memory and have forgotten how challenging toddlers truly are. Hang in there, I do feel like we don't get to see much of you and Simon this season which is too bad. I think you guys are great!

Alex, It was so cute when You, Simon and your boys were all sitting around at your birthday party with Birthday Party hats on eating cupcakes...especially when one of your little boys, said "Mommy, I love you!" and you said "Ahhhh...Sweet Heart I Love you too!" Kodak Moment!!! So Sweet!! ;) Happy Birthday Alex! :)

P.S. Loved the earings Simon gave you for your Birthday!

I am yet another person who was confused by you and Simon at first. I now find you both adorable and authentic. Can't wait to see the house when it is done.

After 2 seasons of this show we are really getting to see what type of people everyone is.
It's funny because I really disliked you and Simon last season, but this season you have redeemed yourselves.
The more we get to see of the two of you, the more we see that you are good people, and loving parents.

Unfortunately for people like Bethenny, the more we see of her, the more we dislike her! She has a black soul, and instead of criticizing you, she should maybe take some pointers from you!

Hi Alex - Everyone want to be better and trying to reach as far as you can in life (whatever that means for you) are generally positive and healthy. But, I dont know what it is about you two - I'm not sure if it's the way you say it or the way you talk, your aspirations are such a turn off. Why is this important? Well, who knows, I might be someone you want to 'befriend' one day.

I don't know. It just rubs folks the wrong way, but I do love the way you two seem to love eachother...there's a very unique and strong bond between u & Simon. Gluck!

Alex,
You and your husband are by far the most intelligent, polite and humane people associated with this show.
How dare Jill take a gratuitous knock at your child-rearing. Totally out of line. Imagine if anyone criticized her daughter.
She and the "chef" can say anything about anyone but no one can do it to either of them.
I don't know how, or why you and Simon can stand these people.

First of all i want to say that i think ou are simon are great and dont let all the negativity get you down
i do want to see that when simon was screaming in the car you had this look on your face that was scared at first it almost appeared lke you were afraid of simon but once they played the rest i understood why he was so upset
it is annoying to hear the other women put you both down almost as if you both are a long running joke to them
the heck with them thats how you have to look at it
You and simon are handling yourselves much better than last season and once this season is over i doubt the women will be able to tear you apart actutally both you and Luann are very quiet this season
i heard you lost your job i hope you find another one!

Alex where is YOUR facebook page? I want to join. Last year I found you and Simon Bazarre, this year I still do, but am realizing that it is in a unique, harmless, and very likable way. You seem to have some depth to you that is missing in others. I hope I can track you down on facebook so I can keep up with you after the show.

I love you. I am so happy to see people not be afraid to be real on tv. Good for you and Simon.

Maybe I am wrong, but the show and the other housewives seem to mis-represent you. The two of you have been patient, kind and gracious. Please keep up the good manners. The birthday incident.....everyone is human.
I hope the others will give you both a break.

#1. Simon's anger was justified, he really wanted to surprise you and it wasn't going as planned, he felt it was being ruined by Mr. X. #2. Boys under 5 are more rowdy than girls, I know I have 5 boys & 3 girls, however, they didn't belong at the dinner party. When they misbehaved they should've been reprimanded and taken in another room talked to about how to act in public and made to apologize to the adults. You would've earned more respect from the others. #3. You don't need money or status,good honest character is the best quality anyone can have. Luv you both!!

What a sweet scene that was with you and your boys on your birthday. It was truly touching.

I really felt bad for you when Simon had a hissy fit at your birthday. He ruined any "surprise" for you.
Don't know How you stand him - he acts like a spoiled child!
