So happy for y'all! It's so refreshing and admirable to see two people who have essentially grown up in Hollywood, step out of the status quo, and instead acknowledge the calling of God. Thank you both for sharing your life, sharing your love, and sharing your faith! Thank you for acknowledging God's presence and also being present with yourself and each other! Praying for y'all daily and wishing you blessings as you begin this new and exciting journey!
There's something about this family that I'm in love with. They are so humble and pure. I love them, and their little baby ❤
I think this big move, if anything, just shows how grounded you guys are in your faith... not many people would be willing to give up a huge house, the lifestyle in LA, and all that. This truly shows your hearts and minds are in the right place, you're not materialistic, or superficial people. I truly admire that. Obviously you guys don't need my validation or anyone elses. I'm just blown that people don't see what I see, you're incredible people. Keep spreading the love :)
Lex and Los are seriously the best couple example I could think of in this TH-cam Community. Their vlogs are so real - maybe because it's because of their genuine personalities. But it is very nice looking up to them as a young adult. You both inspire me so much and your humble souls only make me want to be a better person. Their love for Christ is truly incredible!
Hearing Alexa say why you guys are moving is amazing! We all get caught up in the nice cars, house, clothes, etc. its nice to see a Godly couple that doesn't need all the "nicer" things in life because that greatest things can't be bought!💙
Love when Carlos said people feel too comfortable giving their opinions! I so agree!
Good luck on your move 😊😊
I understand the move 100% now. Amazing choice! Letting go of all the materialistic things and being in a peaceful state of mind!
Christina Rivera I think its perfect!
If you guys feel that God is leading you to Maui then follow his voice! congratulations on moving and your beautiful new baby
I may be biased, but Hawaii is definitely one of the best places to live non-materialistically. My family also downsized a lot after moving from Washington to Oahu, and it was a huge eye-opener. We all realized we never needed a big house with lots of things in it. We had faith in God, and he helped us come to this realization. I'm so happy for your family and we can already see Maui has such a positive influence on you. I think Ocean will love growing up there! :)
destinykcq same i been living in this big house for 12 almost 13 years and so excited we finally moving from a 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms and a big yard to a 3 bedroom and 2 bath house with a pool . 🙌🙌🙌🙌
You guys are moving for a reason and that's your wish to. Everyone has to reach a new chapter in life and you guys have reached it. Those haters will always hate because their mind is just negative. All prays and blessing to your family on this journey to moving.
"People are too comfortable sometimes with giving their opinion" - You betta PREACH Carlos!! Go where the Lord leads and He will always equip you guys for every task ahead- trust that! God bless you mucho now and always !
I love how you guys are not letting people ruin the plan that God put in your heart. I know God is going do big things with you guys over there in Maui.
LA is a very hard place to thrive as a Christian, and I believe that moving to a place where you guys feel that God will bless you with especially the people He will put in your life is so important. If anything this move shows how much Faith you both have in Him to trust that He will continue to bless you with work and etc. Praying you guys get the house!! Can't wait to see more of Maui!

Hi guys, my husband and I are in the middle of moving to Maui also. Even though we aren't there until April, I can't begin to tell you how many negative comments we've gotten from people. We don't have a lot and don't own a home and no kids, but honestly we just want to fill our lives with as much love and peace as we can. We have noticed that the negative comments we've gotten have been from people who are so tied down and carry so much stress with them everywhere or just who are not happy on the inside. I think the choice you have made as a family and for spiritual growth is so beautiful and that no one else can tell you what you need or how to do it. Maybe we'll see you around the island🌴Mahalo for now✌🏼
You guys YES!! I love that you're dematerialising your lives, I recently lost my job and studies due to bad health and was devistated until I realised that everything I was pursuing was for material reasons and boastful reasons. It's amazing to make peace and prioritise your happiness and inner peace because you find this higher quality of life. You guys are incredible examples and I just want to hug you guys!!
I think it is great that you guys are taking this step and moving. There are so many successful celebrities who live outside of California and still have careers. There are also many people who live on Maui with hardworking jobs. Just because you live somewhere tropical and warm does not mean you are lazy and on vacation the whole time. I think it is amazing what you guys are doing. Ocean and the future PenaVega babies will love growing up there. Congratulations :)
I think it's very honorable and brave that you guys gave up the comfort of your every day life and decided to go to Maui! I think it's amazing that you have the opportunity to be able to go anywhere you want. God has great things in store for all of you. I'm so excited to see where this new adventure takes the three of you
Wowwww, when you guys talked about letting go of the material stuff.. and getting a small home it was insanely inspiring. I seriously needed this TODAY!
I think it's great that you are moving to Maui. If you believe God is telling you to do this, there's no point in questioning what God has in store for you three. I'm so glad to see you as such great parents already. I'm 15 and I aspire to be as Christ dedicated and loving with whomever God has in store for my husband, as the two of you are. You two are personally inspiring, not only through your careers but through your faith in God. Through these vlogs, you find every opportunity to incorporate God or the Bible, and I think it's just incredible. Growing up I always watched Spy Kids and Big Time Rush, loving the characters and stories, but watching these videos and seeing your personalities shine as well as your faith and love is truly inspiring. Thank you so much and I will be praying for you and your family as you move to Maui! Good luck and God bless 😊
Totally agree with Carlos. I'm the same way. I only give my opinion if I'm asked for it and when I do give my opinion I try to be respectful if not I mind my own business. If you guys believe this move is the best for you and it's what your heart is telling you to do that's all that matters. You guys are doing what makes you happy. Will miss you here in LA and thanks for the prayers 🙏🏼
I wish you guys all the happiness on this new chapter!
Just an added point, whats so wrong with living a peaceful life anyway! Whats so wrong with living in a constant paradise, thats what God wishes for us. He wants us to be peaceful at heart and to enjoy this life. There's nothing wrong with living outside the American need for the hustle and bustle all of the time :) Have a blessed and beautiful time you two, so many prayers for happiness sent your way
The world pushes us into a mind set of what we "think" we need and God pulls us in to the direction of him and simplicity
I grew up in a vacation destination (Rosemary Beach, FL) and when people visiting find out that I live there, they always have said the same things people are saying to you. But for my family and me, it just makes us even more thankful to be able to wake up every day in a place we love, walk along the beach a little more often, and feel so blessed by the beauty around us. It's really special to be able to live in your dream spot, so if you have the opportunity to do it, that's amazing! Congrats on your move!
The most important thing is that you guys are happy and that your baby boy Ocean has a beautiful and safe place to grow up in. You guys are so amazing and I have looked up to you since I was little and I have been watching you guys in movies and shows!! I love you guys ! you guys are so full of love and faith! let God guide you
For all the Christian watchers... please stop being negative and rude. You are not called to have an opinion, you're called to pick up your cross daily. Speaking words that aren't encouraging and loving is not of God. Please start to respect that they aren't you and don't feel and live the way you do.
Alexa and Carlos
Im so proud of you guys to allow God to really take you to a whole other level on your faith. How amazing is it that Gods calling you to the islands.... I pray the lord calls my family there too. 😝 praying for you guys!! He has so much for you in the future.( love the fact that you are moving to downsize and really get back to God. ) You're gonna get so much closer to the lord. I truly believe that people should keep your mouth close UNLESS God calls you to. I'm sorry you both are getting a lot of negatively, but God says it's gonna happen because the world hates him first.
Listening to Alexa as she explains about getting rid of stuff that aren't important.... Love You Guys and Respect You both SO MUCH MORE!!!! God will Bless You!!
Its awesome that you guys are following what God is calling you too! You guys are so awesome and encouraging!
EXACTLY what Carlos said. People give their opinion way too much! It doesn't hurt anyone that you moved. You moved for yalls happiness!!
I love how you guys are so down to earth and humble! To be able to acknowledge that you dont need all the most up to date, expensive things when you can afford it is amazing and shows how much you care more about family and the things that are more important in life. You are such an inspiration, I wish there were more people like you❤ Thank you x
I didn't really understand until I moved across the country, but it's so important to live somewhere that matches your soul. If living in Maui makes y'all feel at peace and happy and you have the ability to move there, then you should absolutely do it.
I love y'alls mindset! Your faith and positivity is contagious! Thank you!
Congrats on the move. I hope your guys get the house. So happy for you!!!!
Love that y'all are moving to Maui. Absolutely incredible.
Alexa, I just watched you're movie "From Prada to Nada" for like the 10th time because I love the message it displays! It kind of reminded me of the reasons you gave on why you and Carlos are moving! You're right, you don't need big, expensive things to keep you happy!! Love the PenaVega family and your vlogs!!
I'm sorry that people are being so negative towards you guys about this. It's none of their business. If you've prayed about it and you think that this is what's best for your family, do it! I'm happy for you guys! Maui is so beautiful!!
ocean is such a lucky boy to have parents like he does, also the fact he gets to live in Hawaii!!!
So excited! I remember you mentioning in older videos about moving to Maui and opening a shop or something! Love ya'll! Also the comments section are for opinions and opinions are just that. We're always going to have people that don't agree with us.
Beyond excited for you guys to start your journey! Not everyone can get out of their comfort zone and leave behind a big beautiful house, nice luxury cars, and fancy living to go where God is calling you to go.
I never understood why you guys moved but after watching these Vlog I know now. it like what my church and Dad always says, that all the things in these world is not going to go with you to heaven and they are just things, the best thing is to listen to God and he will bless you more than you know. Listening to God and obey him will bring blessings. May God be with you and your family.
None of these people are paying your bills or taking care of you and your family. Wishing you the best and inspired by your faith in each other and God. Bless you all! 🙏🏼❤
I honestly love the fact that you guys are so true to your faith and if this is God's calling, do whatever is in your hands to follow it. All that matters is what God has to say. Nature is the beauty He created and being surrounded with it only motivates you to become a better version of yourself and appreciate all the little things He has given to us. I'm so happy for your new beginning and God bless your beautiful familia ❤️.
I began this year watching you guys and I have always loved you as individuals and now even more because of your faith, strength, and overall personalities. I am so proud of you guys and I hope you guys get the house. Much love.
I don't see why you guys are getting so much negativity about this move. I say if you guys want to move, then move! God bless you guys. :)
Lex and los you do not have to justify why you are moving, if moving with your new family makes you happy then that's all that matter! Just to be happy!
Concern: I'm not sure how your car seat works but my mom noticed that the actual car seat belt was over Ocean's belly and from the many car seats she's gone through she's always put the seat belt through the middle of the car seat if it's built that way, just so in case of an accident the seat belt holds the seat down and doesn't squish the baby's tummy. If your seat is built that way and works great!
Also, because you three are moving to the wondrous and tropical island of Maui, you should look up TH-camr Ellen Fisher, if y'all haven't already! She lives in Maui with her two sons and husband, and they live a wonderful Jesus loving and vegan lifestyle. I'm sure y'all would get along great! Let us know if you all do please! loving following your journey on TH-cam! Thanks for sharing your life with all of us! You both inspire me in so many ways, with acting, having a Jesus filled marriage, and being a wonderful set of parents to little Ocean! :)) MUCH LOVE TO THE PENA-VEGAS
So excited for you guys!! Excited for this new adventure! Love y'all so much, & you all bless my life immensely.
I have lived and taught my High School students to remember this..."If you have nothing nice to say...say NOTHING."
SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND F.L.Y.
First
Love
Yourself!
I think it is an AMAZING NEW CHAPTER in your lives and Ocean is going to have the best memories and childhood any kid could ever dream of!!! Maui seems like the perfect place for you guys to start your family. And Ocean is going to love growing up so close to the ocean! It's totally your type of life style! It's perfect!
I am really inspired to see you as a Christian...not a lot of actors are Christian s that I've heard of so I am speaking under correction...may God be with you and the decision s you make....love you guys so much...Love your faith as well in Abba Father....He will answer all of our questions one day and am so blessed to know there are Christians in the acting industry...God looks to you and are proud of what you become...love your movies as well...really I am just awestruck right now...you have I beautiful baby boy and am sure his a blessing to you guys...keep the faith! all the way from South Africa
I'm excited for this move but I have a couple of questions: are you bringing the dogs with you? Why the sudden move? What about the nursery you just got done?
I'm so exciting to see the drone footage from Maui
wow Carlos! Amazing drone shot!! it was amazing, I love you guys!
I absolutely LOVE your reasons behind moving to Maui!!! I especially love Lex talking about downsizing because life was becoming materialistic... This has motivated me to look at my own life and see where God is leading me and how I can downsize or cut out the things in my life that don't add to my spirituality!!! God bless, Lex, Los, Ocean and the doggies!!! I am so happy I found your channel!!! I don't understand how people can make negative comments; I find it so difficult because I feel like you were nice enough to open up your lives to us and I really appreciate it so to say nasty things or be critical doesn't even occur to me!!! Still, without the haters we would never be inspired to dig deeper and show compassion, love and forgiveness!! Stay blessed guys and I cannot wait to see what Maui has in store for the Penavegas!!! Aloha!!!
GOOD FOR YOU GUYS!!!! You don't need to explain yourselves or give your reasons to NO ONE, as long as You're in Peace with what God is doing in your lives, GO FOR IT!!!!!
Thats awesome! If you feel that your faith is stronger over there in Maui then you should totally do it! God bless, good luck! You guys are amazing
The drone footage was absolutely gorgeous, I'm so happy for you guys!
The best thing you can do is follow your heart, listen to God and go where he takes you. Prayers for an acceptance on the house, safe move and always for family. Mahalo and Na ke akua e hoʻopōmaikaʻi aku (praise and God bless)
I'm sorry that you are getting negative opinions on moving. Especially when it's not their life. I think it's awesome that you guys are moving and downsizing. I can't wait to see how life in Maui treats you! congratulations!
Yay I'm so excited for you guys! I'm from Maui & im sure you guys will love it there! Btw, Ocean is such a cutie😭💗💗💗💗
I don't think there is any other place in the world that suits ya'll better!!!! Love ya'll! praying for it to be a stress free move!!
Wow! What a surprise you guys choosing to move to Hawaii. I am so happy and excited for you three, this looks like a wonderful step in your journey, hope you guys enjoy your trip, and I am looking forward to see the new house tour!
Lex is soooo naturally beautiful I'm like in awe when I see her!
I am beyond excited! I pray the transition is smooth and is everything you hope it to be and more! There is no doubt in my mind this is where you need to be, and what a wonderful message to send Ocean, to walk by faith and reach his goals. Very inspiring! Bless you all and I can't wait to watch more!
In absolute awe of you both. The growth, the wisdom, the love for God you both have is incredibly inspiring. I am so happy you guys found a home in Maui. May this new home, this new journey, be filled with even more blessings. Keep seeking God and putting him first in all your decisions and the rest will fall into place. There will always be people who will criticize you for it, but you stay firm and persevere. God bless. Matthew 6:33
I LOVE MAUI!! I have lived on Oahu for two years now and Hawaii just has a way of capturing your heart. I visited Maui for a week once and I never wanted to leave, so excited you guys are moving there so I can watch it from afar! God is so GOOD!
Don't listen to anyone who isn't supportive of your decision! I'm so happy for your family and praying for this amazing new chapter in your life! Good for you for listening to God and doing whats right for your family
You guys are seriously the most incredible human beings! All of your videos just make so happy about life, and encourage me to do more with the time I have! I wish you all the luck on your new journey with little Ocean! So much love from Australia!
LOVE the last minute. With God leading you, nothing can stop you. Love on ppl
@lexlos I think it's pretty dope how Carlos can leave acting if he wanted to and he'd still find a way to provide no matter what he was doing. He was raised by amazing parents I can tell.
So refreshing to hear your perspective on moving out of LA. So thrilled for you guys, and cant't wait to see what God will bring your family's way. XOXO
I love you guys so much! Beautiful family and values I love it!! Praying everything goes well for you guys with the big move!! :)
YES! Praying for you guys!! And always praying seek our Jesus & be sensitive to what He wants you to do! Please know that there are still some of us supporters who just care for you and love you and your beautiful family! I live in Austin, TX, and I know what it's like to live in a busy city and feel a little stuck, then find a new place where it just fills your cup!! Les mando mucho amor a Maui desde TEXAS!! ❤️❤️
I'm so happy for you guys, it's so exciting, I'm sure everyone dreams of moving to another country at some point and it's so incredibly courageous of you to move when you just had a baby and all. I just love that! You are such amazing, good, kind-hearted people and I love that you can say you're giving up materialistic things like the house and cars and go somewhere that brings you peace. I'm honestly so happy and excited for you guys, looking forward to see what your next chapter is like. Lots of love and God bless ❤❤
Why are people hating on them for moving leave them alone. If they are happy and want this for their families than let them do it. Why worry about work when they have money to sustain themselves and they still can work 😄Keep your opinions to themselves and let them be!
I think this is such an awesome new journey for you! I couldn't be more excited!! God bless y'all in your new adventure as a family!! And btw what could be more perfect for you guys, you love the ocean!!!
I think it is great that you guys are moving! (I don't think you need anyone's validation to do what you think is right for your family) I love you guys and admire your motivation to do this and continue doing what you love ❤❤❤❤
I'm really excited for you guys, this seems so God-guided and I hope it brings you guys all the best! I'll keep you and the move in my prayers 🙏🏻☺️
Cheeeehuuuuu Maui No Ka Oi ! No doubt! I've lived here my whole life and I absolutely love love love it here ! You guys have made the right choice on where to raise Ocean! Hope all is well and that God continue to bless you three !
So excited for you guys and this new journey God has you on! My cousin lives in Maui raising her son, it is such an amazing place. Ocean will love it !!!
I noticed all those comments yesterday too. Who cares what they say. If you wanna move...do it! If it's best for you and your family..do it!
I feel so much positive energy just by watching this and seeing all your photos and how excited you guys are!!! I can tell y'all are already so much happier with your decision and God has amazing plans for you guys. I couldn't be happier for your family. God bless y'all!!! Do what makes you happy and what's best for your family.
My older sister moved to Hawaii for YWAM and it was the best thing that she ever did! You guys do you!
"There's so much freedom in letting go" you guys are so wise. Praising God for your great perspective and positivity! Looking forward to what God will do through you guys!
I loved your chit chat at the end! I am about to hit the road in a few weeks to just LIVE. I am getting in my car and van dwelling across the US, hopefully making my way to Hawaii for a few weeks at the end . I can't wait for this 6 month (at least) journey with God, the open road, and a love to learn about new cultures and experience life in an artistic way! I love that you guys are moving and being where you feel called to be at this time in your life. Praying for you guys as well!
I am so deeply in love about how positive you guys are. Every time I watch you guys I feel motivated in life. God bless you guys.
I think a lot of people were commenting from a place of confusion. I didn't comment previously but I know it was a bit confusing to me why you'd move away from the "hub" of work. After hearing the explanation that a lot of the stuff you go up for doesn't even film there, I could see why you'd want to move. Besides, if God is putting it on your heart to move there & you have the means, you should absolutely do it. If you can make a greater spiritual/religious impact on others from Maui, be that brighter light. Honestly LA was probably dimming it too much. Don't fight that dark anymore. Prayers your offer gets accepted & you can sell your California house quickly too!
Major props to you guys for having the courage to pursue Gods plan! What a wonderful example you are; not only for baby Ocean--who's cute as pice btw--but also for all of us following your journey...So thank you! Maui is a beautiful place to call home; I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for you there! Much love and mad respect, always!
“If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit.”
2 Corinthians 5:13 NLT Seek His will for your life. When you hear from Him be faithful to obey, even if the world says otherwise. 😘✝️💜
You guys are such an inspiration for me and the type of life I want for my future. Y'all are such a loving family and yalls love for all people is such beautiful representation of what Christianity is. God bless you guys😊💛
im so happy for you guys, Maui is a gorgeous place!! can we just talk about how freaking adorable and chubby Ocean is? his little smile just melts my heart
So happy that you guys are creating a better life for yourselves where you will find peace and happiness!! I'm so happy for you both and Ocean!! Your little family will be in my prayers with the upcoming move ❤ may God bless you each
please ignore the negative comments and just continue to listen to the Lord :) peace and blessings
I'm so happy for you guys!!!! Go with God and let his will take you down this beautiful path for your family!! So amazing!
I agree 100% people are to quick and open to give their opinions. wish I could move there too. it's on my dream board.good luck God bless
Ocean is gonna grow up to be this incredible life loving beach baby which is perfect for his name! Haha I feel like he's gonna grow up to love life
