Alexa Vega and Carlos Pena Jr. Marriage: Spy Kids Star Wed to Big Time Rush Singer in Mexico
Another boy-bander is off the market, as news has broken that Big Time Rush singer Carlos Pena Jr. has tied the knot with his longtime fiancee, Spy Kids actress Alexa Vega, at a destination wedding in Mexico.
According to The New York Daily News, this is Pena's first time down the aisle, and Vega's second. Vega was previously married to producer Sean Covell (the marriage only lasted 2 years). Vega married the Big Time Rush singer on Jan. 4 at the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and dropped the information exclusively to People Magazine. "We are so thrilled and blessed that we were able to have all of our close friends and family join us on our special day," they told the mag.
And, according to Parade Magazine, Carlos has always been in the habit of keeping his private life private, especially since Big Time Rush became huge. "I hate to use the word famous because I just don't like that word, but the more famous you get, the more impossible [keeping things private] becomes," he told Parade. "We've actually been really lucky to stay under the radar. It hasn't been really, really crazy for us."
Vega said that she was "shocked" when Pena proposed just months after her divorce from Covell was finalized. "It was so beautiful, we were there with about 25 of our friends," she told the Daily News. "I thought we were just having an end-of-summer vacation. (He) got down on one knee and I was shocked. I had no idea that he had been designing a ring for months and everybody else knew. Carlos is everything that I wasn't looking for and everything that I needed. When you find somebody who can bring you to that level, you know you're doing it right."
Congratulations to the happy couple!
