  • Alexa Vega, Brette Taylor Score Roles on ‘Nashville’

    Alexa Vega and Brette Taylor have been signed on to star in multiple-episode arcs for the upcoming third season of ABC‘s country music drama Nashville.

    Vega, best known for her roles in Spy Kids and The Tomorrow People, will play Gunnar’s (Sam Palladio) high school sweetheart, Kiley, in a three-episode arc. Kiley is now a single mom who just arrived in Nashville to raise her 10-year-old son she had at a young age. Hmmm? Wonder if he’s Gunnar’s kid?

    Taylor will portray Luke Wheeler’s (Will Chase) back-up singer. The actress, best known for roles in Return To Paradise and Laws Of Attraction, will play Pam, a talented singer with a dark past who inspires Deacon (Charles Esten).

    Nashville premiered on ABC in 2012, and focuses on the relationship between country superstar Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) and rising star Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere). The series also stars Clare Bowen as Scarlett O’Connor, Eric Close as Teddy Conrad, Chaley Rose as Zoey and Jonathan Jackson as Avery Barkley.

    Alexa Vega: Spy Kids Star Ties the Knot

    Alexa Vega of Spy Kids fame married Big Time Rush’s Carlos Pena on Saturday. The couple said, “I do” during an intimate ceremony in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Alexa was stunning in a simple silk white wedding dress–even though this was her second trip down that proverbial aisle. She was previously married to producer Sean Covel. The pair divorced in 2012, citing irreconcilable differences.

    Challen Cates from Big Time Rush was excited to share a photo of the newlyweds, showing Alexa Vega’s wedding dress in all its simple splendor. She was just one of the guests at the wedding having fun running around with her camera, capturing photos of herself with Carlos and other guests. Probably the best one she took, however, featured herself with both the bride and groom. You can see how understated, but elegant, Alexa’s wedding dress and simple crown of flowers suited her perfectly.


    She captioned her photo, “Most fun wedding ever! Congratulations @TheCarlosPena & @alexagvega #live #love #carlexa#wedding @_AaronMcPherson.”

    Just prior to marrying Carlos Pena, Alexa Vega shared her excitement via Twitter.

    And the day after the wedding, she tweeted yet again–this time as a newly married woman.

    Hopefully this marriage will be the happily ever after Alexa Vega has been looking for. She was quite young when she married the first time. Now at 25 (Carlos Pena is 24) she has no doubt grown up a bit and is likely far more suited to dealing with married life. Congratulations to them both, and may this newlywed couple enjoy a lifetime of happiness together.

  • Alexa Vega Marries Carlos Pena Jr

    Former Spy Kids star Alexa Vega, 25, married fiancé Carlos Pena Jr, 24, on January 4, 2014. Pena Jr stars in the Nickelodeon hit show Big Time Rush. Four months ago, the couple became engaged, which they revealed on Twitter and Instagram. Vega posted a picture on her Instagram of Pena Jr with the caption “Hello fiancé.”

    This is Vega’s second marriage, she married producer Sean Covel in 2010. Their marriage lasted for two years. The pair cited “irreconcilable differences” for their 2012 divorce, but Vega claims that the two still remain friends.

    In September, she told People Magazine this about falling for Pena:

    “When I met Carlos, I had never dated a Latin guy… I don’t know if it’s because all of my family is like a Latin crazy family, but I’ve only dated tall,  lanky white guys – everybody has been over 6-foot-3 and white. Meanwhile, Carlos is 5-foot-7, very Latin and he’s an actor and I always said no actors – so, he was everything I wasn’t looking for, but everything I needed. He is truly incredible!”

    At the time of the interview, Vega told the magazine that she had not started planning their wedding.

    Before exchanging vows, Vega announced her wedding on Twitter by tweeting about her nerves.

    The pair’s destination wedding took place at the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. After their vows were done, Vega made one more tweet that night/early morning:

    Vega is one of several celebrities who chose to wed this week. Other celebrities include Justin Bartha, Lacey Chabert and Kaley Cuoco.

    It appears these celebrities want to start their year off memorable by making the ultimate vow of commitment. Congrats to all the new married couples. May their 2014 bring them lots of marriage prosperity.
