In the unpredictable world of Salem, love stories are rarely simple—and the relationship between Alex and Stephanie is no exception on Days of our Lives. Over the last few years, this complex couple has captured the attention of fans with their intense chemistry, heartbreaking setbacks, and emotional growth. As of mid-2025, their romance is once again front and center in Salem, filled with secrets, forgiveness, and the hope for something lasting.
How Alex and Stephanie First Met
The adult version of Alex came to Salem in 2022, played by Robert Scott Wilson, who immediately brought charisma, charm, and a reputation as a ladies’ man. Stephanie (Abigail Klein), a confident and independent woman with deep Salem roots, didn’t fall for his smooth talk—at least not at first.
Their first interactions were flirtatious but filled with tension. Alex was drawn to Stephanie’s strength and intelligence, while Stephanie saw Alex as arrogant and impulsive. But as they began working together at Titan Industries, Stephanie saw a more vulnerable side to Alex. Slowly, a connection began to form.
Becoming a Couple—and Falling Apart
It didn’t take long for Alex and Stephanie to take their relationship to the next level. Their chemistry was undeniable, and for a while, things looked promising. But Alex’s jealous tendencies soon created cracks in their romance.

The breaking point came when Stephanie’s mother, Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), was gravely ill. Alex, jealous of Stephanie’s friendship with Chad (Billy Flynn), turned off her phone to stop her from taking a call from Chad. As a result, Stephanie missed what she believed to be her mother’s final goodbye. The betrayal was devastating, and Stephanie ended the relationship immediately.
Alex was heartbroken. Though Kayla eventually survived, the damage to his relationship with Stephanie seemed permanent—especially after she moved on with Chad.
A Rekindled Romance
Despite everything, the bond between Alex and Stephanie never truly faded. In early 2025, after Alex’s brief relationship with Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins), he and Stephanie reconnected. A kiss at the hospital reignited old feelings and signaled a new beginning—though not without complications.
Joy, who had been dating Alex, witnessed the kiss and later revealed she might be pregnant with his child. The love triangle created new emotional tension, but Alex and Stephanie continued trying to rebuild what they had lost.
Secrets, Trust, and New Challenges
Their relationship faced another test when Stephanie discovered a major secret: Philip (John‑Paul Lavoisier) and Vivian (Louise Sorel) had forged a letter from Victor (the late John Aniston), giving Philip false control over Titan. Stephanie kept the truth to herself for a time before finally revealing it to Alex. Though hurt by the delay, Alex stayed by her side, and the couple continued growing stronger—both romantically and professionally.
Now working together again at Titan, Alex and Stephanie are navigating a delicate balance between business and love. The threat of Joy’s pregnancy and the fallout from the forged letter continue to hang over them, but so far, they remain united.
