There, Alex had the first encounter with Jelka’s son, Joe Pesic. It was love at first sight for the couples.

After dating for a month, they decided to tie the knot. Although everything was great in the beginning, the wedding planning process caused some tensions between Alexandra and her stepmother.

Indeed, she had doubts about marrying Joe since then. Nevertheless, the pair exchanged their wedding vows on June 11, 1988.

Despite getting married, Jelka dominated their married life. Reportedly, Alex was never happy about that as she wished to make her own decisions with Joe.

Later, Jelka made an offer that neither of the couples could deny. As per Oxygen, they were given a home near Jelka’s residence at a substantial down payment.
