“He Embraced It With Love, Not Obligation”: Love Is Blind’s Alexa Says Brennon’s Respect for Her Faith Deepened Their Bond

Love Is Blind fan favorite Alexa Alfia Lemieux is opening up about one of the most personal — and powerful — aspects of her relationship with husband Brennon Lemieux: his unwavering respect for her Jewish faith.

In a candid and emotional interview, Alexa revealed that Brennon’s embrace of her culture and traditions wasn’t just something he accepted — it was something he leaned into with love, humility, and sincerity.

“He didn’t just tolerate it,” she shared. “He chose it. Not because I asked, not because he had to — but because he wanted to understand the whole of who I am.”

“I Didn’t Want to Be the Only One Lighting the Candles”

For Alexa, faith and tradition have always been central to her identity. But entering a relationship with someone who didn’t grow up with those customs came with fears — of feeling alone in her rituals, of losing pieces of herself to keep the peace.

“I’ve seen so many women water down who they are for a relationship,” she said. “I told myself I wouldn’t do that. But I was scared. Scared that he wouldn’t get it. That it would always feel like my thing.”

 

Instead, Brennon surprised her.

“He started asking questions. He came to Shabbat dinners. He stood beside me during holidays, not just as a plus-one, but as a partner,” Alexa said, eyes welling up. “And that’s when I knew — he wasn’t just marrying me. He was choosing all of me.”

Faith as a Foundation, Not a Fight

While religion can be a point of tension in many relationships, Alexa says it’s become a foundation in theirs — not because they agree on everything, but because they respect everything.

“We don’t pretend to have all the answers,” she laughed. “But we have respect. And love. And that’s enough.”

She remembers the first time Brennon led a blessing — his voice shaking, nervous, but determined.

“He looked at me and said, ‘Tell me if I mess this up.’ And I just smiled because he showed up. That meant more than perfect pronunciation ever could.”

“This Is What Choosing Each Other Looks Like”

As they now consider expanding their family, Alexa says these shared values are more important than ever.

“I want our kids to know where they come from. To feel proud of every part of themselves,” she said. “And I know, without a doubt, Brennon will be right there, leading with love, not ego.”

She paused before adding one final thought:

“It’s easy to love someone when things are easy. But to love them in their rituals, in their fears, in the parts of them that are sacred? That’s where real intimacy lives. And Brennon gave me that.”
