Carlos PenaVega's Married Life with Alexa PenaVega
Life of the adorable couple, Carlos, and Alexa has changed big time since becoming parents to a baby boy.

Carlos PenaVega's Life After Welcoming First Child

Alexa explained,
"He’s really just become a part of what we’ve always done and not much has changed there. You just get a lot less sleep. But I just feel so much more love now. I’ve become so much more emotional about things. I have a deeper connection with Carlos just because of Ocean."
Carlos added,
"I appreciate my parents a lot more too. Because you see how much time and effort you have to put into this new human, and then they're off at 20, doing their own things, and you're like, 'Make good decisions!'"
Unlike many Hollywood couples, the former Dancing with the Stars contestants surprised fans disclosing the early journey to parenthood announcing the sex and name of the baby in summer last year.
Alexa wrote on Instagram,
"Ocean King PenaVega. We can't wait to meet this little Blessing. #BabyPenaVega #LilMan"
Carlos and Alexa have had made several big decisions after welcoming their boy Ocean on earth. They moved from Los Angeles to Maui just for the sake of the baby boy.
Carlos said,
"We do miss out on some really great opportunities because of that, but I think that with any marriage, the key to a successful marriage is sacrifice. Both parties have to sacrifice, and we’re like, 'You know what, this is what’s important. Now we have a baby. How do we keep that together if it means missing out on a really great TV show?'"
Life outside Los Angeles is a big deal for the couple. However, the family of three have many things to celebrate together.
