Richard is said to have been a family friend, so Alejandra has known him for much of her life, but the two reconnected in 2014

Richard and Alejandra’s romance began in 2014 when the pair ran into each other at a hotel that Alejandra was managing in Italy. A mutual friend of the two re-introduced the couple (Richard is said to have been a family friend of Alejandra’s family when she was younger) and they were said to have experienced an instant connection. The couple married in April 2018.
