Despite many discouraging them, they tied the knot in 2018, saying their long-distance relationship would not work.

"The odds weren't in our favour. No one believed it could work out, but it did. I was married previously to my boys' biological father, which unfortunately ended, but he's no longer in their life and hasn't seen them since they were younger," Lexy explained.

Flight to Florida from Kentucky

After adopting Lexy's six children, Tony showed genuine love as the single mum and her boys moved to Florida.

"'I booked last-minute flights for all the boys to see Tony, and because I was granted full custody, they never went back to Kentucky.
