LEXLOS

Carlos & Alexa PenaVega

Lexlos is Carlos and Alexa PenaVega, married 12 years, four kids, two Hollywood careers, and a whole lot of opinions about how to keep a family together while building a life you actually want. Every week they sit down with each other and with friends to talk about marriage, faith, parenting, work, and the stuff nobody warns you about. Real conversations, no scripts, no pretending they've got it figured out.

    She Told Me She Almost Died on Spy Kids—Here’s the Truth

    We left part one on a cliffhanger, and this is where the story finally comes out straight. The crane accident has been part of Alexa's set of stories for as long as Carlos has known her, and somewhere in the retelling it picked up some flourishes. Thirteen years into this marriage, he gets the actual version, live, on mic. His reaction is the episode. From there it turns into the fun kind of hangout. What growing up on those sets was really like once you strip the polish off, and then the big what-ifs: a Spy Kids musical, where the franchise could go next, and the ideas that come out when two people who did this as kids start dreaming out loud. If you haven't heard part one yet, start there. This picks up right where it left off. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday. Follow LEXLOS wherever you listen. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why Carlos Quit Big Time Rush 3 Times (ft. Kendall Schmidt)

    Carlos sits down with bandmate and brother-figure Kendall Schmidt while their kids play downstairs. They dig into wild origin lore: the BTR pilot that was shot line-for-line without Kendall, the 'there's no tape — you're the band' reveal, and Kendall crying the night he booked it because of the commitment. Kendall shares his childhood as one of three acting Schmidt brothers, including Steven Spielberg spinning around with a cake for his tenth birthday on the set of A.I. They get honest about the grind — 18-hour days, splitting management, One Direction opening for them before eclipsing them, the show ending sour, and Carlos leaving the band three times — then the healing: choosing each other like a marriage, the comeback nobody at the label believed in, and Kendall's deeply personal new solo music (including songs about balding, which he owns proudly).

    Alexa PenaVega on Growing Up Famous After Spy Kids

    Carlos puts Alexa in the hot seat for a full Spy Kids interrogation, and she actually answers. This is the origin story fans have been asking about for twenty years: what it was really like growing up on those sets as a kid, the behind-the-scenes details that never made it into press, and the Spy Kids secrets she's been sitting on. Carlos brings a list of questions and does not let her off the hook on any of them. Then she mentions having her first kiss on set, and the room stops. Glenn Powell comes up too, though not in the way you'd assume. There was too much to get through in one sitting, so this is part one, and the rest is coming. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.

    Why We'd Have Broken Up If We Weren't Married

    Lex and Los open the podcast with the topic they get asked about most: marriage. They tell their origin story — meeting at a Bible study when both were at their lowest points (Alexa mid-divorce, Carlos smoking weed and reclusive), getting engaged fast, and marrying in three months when US Weekly offered to cover the wedding. They dig into hot-button convictions: merging finances completely, not living together or having sex before marriage (and their own imperfect journey with abstinence), toxic 'girl groups' that bash husbands, and letting go of offense. It ends with practical takeaways: love languages, non-negotiables, and marrying your best friend. Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday + Friday. Learn more about your ad choices.
