[post_page_title]Alexa Scimeca Knierim in real life[/post_page_title]
Before Alexa had met Chris, it had been clear to all who knew her that she would grow to become a star – she simply had such a passion for figure skating. Growing up in Addison, Illinois, she started skating at the mere age of seven. Since she has gone pro, she has fought through many hardships, some of them health related. Among these trials was a life-threatening gastrointestinal condition that caused her to have two abdominal surgeries in one month.
