In a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/spy-kids-star-alexa-penavega-reveals-husband-jealous-love-scenes\"><em>Fox News Digital<\/em><\/a>, Alexa revealed that Carlos struggled with jealousy early in their marriage when she was filming love scenes. \u201cSo, years ago, Carlos would get a little jealous, but I think the more confident and comfortable, and honestly the closer we got to God, the more our roles started shifting with what we were taking,\u201d she said. \u201cBut, also, I think there&#8217;s just so much trust in our relationship that there was never a need to be, like, threatened by anybody else.\u201d Carlos did add, however, the need for \u201chealthy boundaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their faith has impacted the kind of roles and collaborations they\u2019ve taken on, including a recent partnership with the Great American Family Network. Carlos said he was grateful knowing that the scenes his wife would be shooting on the network would be \u201csafe.\u201d \u201cThat&#8217;s what I love so much about Great American Family. If she&#8217;s not doing a movie with me, I know that whatever she&#8217;s doing, whoever she&#8217;s with, it&#8217;s safe. And it&#8217;s all going to be good. So, for us, this is such a great home for us.\u201d The couple recently produced their first movie together through GAF, with the two appearing as romantic love interests in the upcoming film.<\/p>\n<p>Their Christian faith, while drawing them towards more wholesome movies, has not limited them to just seeking Christian movie roles. \u201cSo, we&#8217;re in this half-and-half place. We think faith-based films are really important, but I think, more importantly, are movies that are for the world, but they&#8217;re made by kingdom-hearted people because we don&#8217;t want to just make Christian movies,\u201d said Alexa. She said she wants to be in films that still show the real world but share a positivity that comes from \u201ca kingdom heart.\u201d \u201cI think it&#8217;s really easy for Christian films to come across as cheesy, a cookie cutter, when, honestly, the Christian life is hard. Life can be ugly, but there&#8217;s a way out, and let&#8217;s show the world that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The couple is speaking from experience, having recently lost their fourth child, Indy, due to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/news\/2024\/04\/carlos-and-alexa-penavega-mourn-the-loss-of-their-stillborn-daughter\">stillbirth<\/a>. \u201cThere are never the right words to say when it comes to loss. After a beautiful and peaceful delivery our daughter \u2018Indy\u2019 was born at rest. It has been a painful journey. But in the pain we have found peace. God continues to comfort and hold us in his arms,\u201d the couple shared on social media at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former \u201cSpy Kids\u201d star Alexa PenaVega and her husband, Carlos, are revealing how they have balanced their faith and careers.
