The brunette beauty held the title in 2017 and went on to win Miss Congeniality at the Miss Teen USA pageant. That same year, Matt confirmed they were a couple in a post on his website.

"Alexa and I have been quietly getting to know each other for several months and we have become very close and are now dating each other exclusively," he said at the time. 

Matt later supported Alexa in her two bids to become Miss Rhode Island USA, but she came up short both times. After competing in the 2020 pageant, where she placed third, the 21-year-old took to Instagram to reflect on her beauty queen past.

"Although I’m 'shedding skin' and closing a chapter, I can never forget how being onstage makes me feel and the memories I’ve made throughout this journey," she wrote. Matt added in a post on his page, "Alexa being Miss Rhode Island [Teen] was one of the best chapters that we shared together. In my eyes she will always have a crown."
