Carlos PenaVega (Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush and member of boy band Big Time Rush) and Alexa PenaVega (Spy Kids, ABC Family's Ruby & The Rockits) will release their debut memoir "What If Love Is The Point?" on June 28 via HarperCollins. The title is currently available for preorder. During the course of their careers, the popular actors, along with their successes, faced many difficult challenges: Carlos was struggling with the influences of Hollywood and was reeling from a broken relationship. Alexa was healing from a divorce and an eating disorder she kept hidden. They felt lost and wondered, what's the point of it all?
While overcoming the many financial, emotional, spiritual and marital challenges after the pair met and married, the two have countless TV and film appearances under their belt - including an influential season on "Dancing with the Stars," where they made history as the only married couple ever to compete against each other. Those appearances in Season 21, which are powerfully chronicled by Alexa, brought the two to a whole new national audience, and gave them weekly opportunities to witness about their faith and talk about marriage as a sacred commitment people should still believe in, led thousands of people of all ages to write in, thanking them for taking a bold stance and even, in some cases, helping reignite the marriages of some viewers. With all of the buzz around them, Alexa and Carlos had offers to do a reality show, but they wanted to steer clear of that world because they felt a heartfelt inspirational book would be the ideal way to chronicle their amazing lives.
Says the couple: "We wanted to talk about it all. We wanted to write about all the junk, the 'norms' in society that aren't good for us, how to navigate friendships, what it's like becoming a parent, and how we learned to draw healthy boundaries at work. But we mainly want to ask, 'What's the point? What's the point of all of this living?'" They freely admit that as 30-something human beings, working performers, husband and wife, and now parents of young children, life is not easy - and staying committed to each other and their faith is often difficult and stressful despite the love and beauty at the center of their relationship. It's a choice that they must make daily.
