MYKONOS, GREECE: Alex Kompothecras has kept a low profile since he departed 'Siesta Key'. After losing his job as a reality star due to irresponsible social media behavior, Alex's decision to remain more private seems to have been a prudent one.

He has spent his post-MTV+ days with his girlfriend, Alyssa Salerno, and their baby. On Sunday, July 28, Alyssa took to Instagram to announce that the couple is officially engaged.

Why was Alex Kompothecras fired from 'Siesta Key'?
For three seasons, Alex was a main cast member of 'Siesta Key'. Following the Black Lives Matter movement, MTV decided to part ways with him due to his past actions and statements.
On June 16, 2020, 'Siesta Key' tweeted, "We’ve made the decision to cut ties with Alex and are editing the current season to minimize his presence. He will not be in future seasons of Siesta Key."
This decision was made midway through Season 3 of the reality show, leading to Alex's departure from Siesta Key in Season 4. His disruptive behavior, both on and off-screen, ultimately caught up with him.
