As Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston once sang, “There can be miracles … when you believe.”
During an exclusive interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” at Bravo Fan Fest in Miami on Saturday, the “Real Housewives of Miami” star revealed that she has patched things up with former onscreen foes Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton.
“Hey, Alexia and Marysol and I are back on the good wagon!” de Moura, 58, exclaimed on the red carpet in a joint chat with BFF Julia Lemigova, further joking that the reconciliation was an act of God.
“Miracles do happen!” de Moura added.
The “Fyah” singer noted that Lemigova, 52, played a part in the ladies’ decision to move forward as friends after a series of conflicts have played out on the hit Bravo show.
“Julia helped a lot,” she shared.
Lemigova was quick to chime in with her take on the shock accord.
“I’m taking credit for it!” said the model, who acknowledged that de Moura has a specific bond with Nepola and Patton, both 57, as the trio starred alongside each other on the original run of “RHOM” for three seasons from 2011 to 2013.

Lemigova, who joined the reality show when it was rebooted in 2021, elaborated, “I believed from the beginning that these girls have such a strong bond and whatever happened between them should [end] just because [of] the fact that they’ve known each other for so many years — more than we know each other.”
The Bravolebrity — who is married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova and made history as the first openly LGBTQIA+ individual to secure a full-time role among any “Housewives” franchise — added that she “hates fighting.”
Tension was at an all-time high when, in Season 5, Nepola accused de Moura of dating a married man when legal docs ultimately proved he was single — resulting in an explosive exchange between the two.
Later, de Moura threw some shade at Patton’s romantic history.
However, things took a turn for the worse during a cast trip to the Bahamas when the “Feel the Rush” songstress compared her foot injury to the near-fatal car accident survived by Nepola’s adult 27-year-old son, Frankie Rosello, in 2011.
The analogy — which de Moura previously told Page Six she was “deeply sorry” for — infuriated both Nepola and Patton, causing the duo to shun her in the Caribbean.

In Season 6, de Moura suggested that Nepola and her now-estranged husband Todd Nepola, were experiencing financial issues and marital strife — claims that certainly didn’t help the “Housewives’” fractured dynamic. (Todd eventually filed for divorce from Alexia in April, though their status as a couple remains in flux.)
While de Moura is getting along with Alexia and Patton now, a new feud has been brewing in the 305 as production for the next “Miami” installment progresses.
At Bravo Fan Fest, Larsa Pippen told “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she is currently on the outs with Lisa Hochstein as she feels the latter deserted her in the early days of her breakup with Marcus Jordan.
De Moura, for her part, is hopeful that the women can make amends.
“I hope they can repair it,” she said. “I feel like they were so tight for so long and now [they’ve] been distancing [themselves].”
“The Real Housewives of Miami” is available to stream on Peacock. A premiere date for Season 7 has yet to be announced.
