    Carlos and Alexa PenaVega to headline movie for Great American Pure Flix

    Alexa and Carlos PenaVega will headline a movie for Great American Pure Flix. The couple, who have starred in several romantic comedies for Hallmark, will appear in Mr. Manhattan, which premieres in May.
     
    “We are so excited for this one and all that we have coming up with you guys!” wrote Carlos PenaVega in response to an Instagram post announcing the movie. “What a team!”
     
    The announcement came as a surprise to some fans, who are used to seeing Alexa and Carlos PenaVega in Hallmark movies. In 2022, the pair signed a multi-picture deal with Hallmark Media, calling the company a “second home.”
     
    “Over the last four years they have given us opportunities to grow as actors and producers all while raising our children, even if it means having the family on set!” they said in a joint statement to Deadline.
     
    The couple, who met at a Bible study group, married in 2014. They have four children together: Ocean, Kingston, Rio, and Indy.

The two co-starred in Enchanted Christmas (2017), Love at Sea (2018), and Love in the Limelight (2022). They also appeared together in Hallmark’s Picture Perfect Mysteries, which the network recently canceled.
     
    In a joint statement, the couple said they have enjoyed their work with Hallmark.
     
    “Developing projects alongside them has been a highlight of our careers thus far. We are thrilled to be able to continue creating content that is family-friendly and current while maintaining its core values that we love so much. Hallmark is special and we are looking forward to many more projects together.”
     
    Fans assumed that the deal was exclusive, but the couple’s new movie with Great American Pure Flix suggests otherwise.

  • Alexa PenaVega’s new Hallmark movie takes viewers to the most romantic city in the world

    Alexa PenaVega’s new Hallmark movie takes viewers to the most romantic city in the world

    Alexa PenaVega’s new Hallmark movie will premiere as part of the Loveuary lineup. The movie, A Paris Proposal, takes viewers on a trip through the most romantic city in the world.

    “I think it’s the perfect place to put these two characters,” PenaVega said in an interview to promote the movie.

    “It’s an incredibly romantic city,” said her co-star Nicholas Bishop. “…People will enjoy these two characters pretend that they don’t like each other.”

    New Hallmark movie

    In A Paris Proposal, Alexa PenaVega stars as Anna, an account executive with a New York advertising agency. She gets the chance to land the biggest client of her career, Durand Diamonds, but finds out that to pitch her ideas she must travel to Paris with her colleague Sebastien.

    Paris already holds painful memories for Anna. She and her ex-husband spent their honeymoon there before a painful split. The trip is further complicated by her co-worker, whose laid-back approach to work is in sharp contrast to her own no-nonsense style.

    When Sebastien tells the client that he and Anna are married, she must keep the charade to keep Durand interested. But the more time she spends with her co-worker, the more she realizes that he might be the perfect fit.

    Alexa got her start in show business in the 2001 movie Spy Kids. She went on to guest star on TV shows such as Unsupervised and Royal Pains and appeared in the movies Hairspray, Broken Hill, and The Devil’s Carnival.

    She starred in the Hallmark movies Destination Wedding, Christmas Made to Order, and Taking a Shot at Love. She and her husband appeared in Hallmark’s Picture Perfect Mysteries, which the network recently canceled.
