Alexa PenaVega Reveals Where Spy Kids’ Carmen and Juni Would Be Today

But that doesn’t mean Carmen is taking any shiitake mushrooms from anyone, either. As the Sleepover star put it, “Now, she’s trying to figure out how to settle down and still be a sassy, independent woman, but also a good mom and a family girl.”

Although the final film in the trilogy is celebrating its 22nd anniversary, Alexa still has the Cortez family on her mind. In fact, she even had the chance to show her and husband Carlos PenaVega‘s kids Ocean, 6, Kingston, 4, and Rio, 2, the franchise’s most beloved props.

“I texted Robert Rodriguez, the director and creator, to let him know that we were coming through town,” Alexa—who was in Austin for Big Time Rush‘s Can’t Get Enough Tour with her husband—shared. “He’s like, ‘I want your kids to see everything you experienced.’ So they pulled out all the stops.”
