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.

Despite the challenges stemming from his past as a reality star, including dealing with issues of infidelity, Alex has focused on his personal life. 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.

I knew you’d always be my forever lover and best friend but here is to making it officially forever! My easiest YES ✨ I love you so much babe. The best is yet to come ♥︎🥹🥂🫶 📍N 37 ° 24. 825 E 025 ° 22. 315." Alex proposed on a boat in the middle of the ocean.

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.

Just a few days before Siesta Key producers announced their split with the controversial star, Alex and Alyssa welcomed their child, Alessi, on June 11, 2020. It seems that Alessi's birth has had a transformative effect on Alex. His most recent Instagram pictures show him with his beloved Alessi and Alyssa, suggesting that Alex's priorities are now more centered on his family than on the media.
