Hollywood's relationship with his wife deteriorated because of his extramarital affairs. In 2013, he admittedly cheated on his wife with his co-host, Marcela Valladolid.
In the wake of the infidelity, Alex left the professional chef for a few months. But the duo reconciled after Hollywood apologized for his wrong behaviors, stating having an affair was "the biggest mistake of my life."
The duo worked on their marriage for about four years, but Hollywood's new affair yet again caused an irreparable rift. However, neither of them was vocal about the infidelity at first.
Instead, they announced their separation through a joint statement on November 20, 2017. Asking for privacy from the press and privacy, the estranged pair stated that their focus continued to be on their son's happiness.
Then, in August 2018, Alex filed for divorce on the grounds of adultery.

She broke her silence on the matter during an interview with Prima Magazine in January 2019, hinting that her husband cheated on her with Summer Monteys-Fullam. The cookbook author also mentioned that the ordeal devastated her.
In July 2019, the district judge granted the divorce on the claimed grounds in the Central Family Court in London.
Years after the divorce, Alex again highlighted the affairs that ruined their marriage in an Instagram post dated February 13, 2022.
"It's taken me a while to get here and it hasn't been easy, but I love the woman I am now," she began her statement, highlighting the importance of self-love.
Then she hinted Hollywood didn't have one extramarital affair or two, but multiple affairs. "My own marriage was too over seasoned with extra marital affairs for my taste and so I opted out and chose the single menu instead," she wrote.
Alex insisted that she was finally in a happy place after years of suffering. She also added she loved being single.
