The happily married couple is wishing for good things in Raven’s dating future. “Raven’s amazing, and I think that everything really does happen for a reason,” says Alexa. “And I think that it’s great that — not the way that everything happened, but that she knows now rather than later on and that she can find someone really incredible.”

She adds, “She really does deserve it. She’s an incredible person.”

TheAfter the Altarspecial presented different claims. “Since then, a lot has changed. My world is completely different because, you know, SK cheated on me and now our relationship is over,” Raven told cameras.

“I was so happy. I really was so invested in the person that everyone saw and everyone loved, like, that’s the person that I saw and I loved every day too,” she added. “So, to see everything that has happened since then is so hard because that was not the person that I thought that I was with.”
