What Happened To Alex Lagina After The Curse Of Oak Island Season 12?

0 2 minutes read

Alex Lagina was born into the family business of treasure hunting, as his family is featured on The Curse of Oak Island, The History Channel’s long-running show about a group of archeologists, scientists, and other treasure hunters as they hunt for buried treasure on the historic Oak Island. Oak Island is located just off the shores of Nova Scotia, and legend has it that there’s treasure hidden within the lush greenery.

Marty and his wife, Olivia, have two kids: Alex and a daughter named Maddie. Alex is featured on the show, so he’s more well-known to the public. Alex is now in his late 30s and has been working alongside his dad and uncle to unearth long-forgotten artifacts and maybe even treasure hidden on Oak Island. Alex has appeared on all 12 seasons of The Curse of Oak Island, becoming a prominent cast member who is a fan favorite.

Alex Lagina’s Journey On The Curse Of Oak Island

Alex Was Born Into Treasure Hunting

Alex’s dad and uncle started hunting for treasure on Oak Island in 2013. The show premiered in 2014, and Alex has appeared since day one, so it’s safe to assume Alex shared his family’s passion for uncovering the mysteries on Oak Island. The work they do on Oak Island can be dangerous, but Alex is well-prepared for the job. He’s a skilled diver and has a background in engineering.

According to an article on Distractify, Alex studied at the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering, graduating in 2008 and moving back to Traverse City, Michigan, where his family is based. That’s about the same time he, his dad, and uncle became more serious about hunting for treasure on Oak Island. Rick and Marty had already purchased a stake in the island in 2006, having been obsessed with its intrigue since childhood.

Alex was initially seen on the show as a background figure, becoming more of a main focus a few seasons in. By season 4, Alex’s role became more prominent, especially as his dad and uncle spent more time away from Oak Island. Alex was there to supervise in their absence, and his job turned into more of a leadership role.

Alex Lagina’s Personal Life

Alex Is Recently Married

Alex is very private about his personal life. There were rumors about a potential romance between Alex and Miriam Amirault, an archaeologist who also appeared on The Curse of Oak Island. Nothing was ever confirmed, as Alex and Miriam never gave credence to the rumors.

In 2024, Alex married Katherine Sneed in Coral Gables, Florida. Again, not much is known about their relationship history, as both have private social media accounts. Alex and Katherine’s marriage wasn’t reported in any major press, but a user on Reddit who goes by Euphoric-Prune-8717 shared photos of their wedding last year. Commenters joked about Katherine being a “gold-digger,” which she must be used to now.

Alex Lagina’s Jobs

Alex Has Many Duties

In addition to working with his dad and appearing on their reality show, Alex is the manager of the family’s winery, Mari Vineyards, in Michigan. He also receives an associate producer credit on The Curse of Oak Island, and its spin-offs, The Curse of Oak Island: Drilling Down and The Curse of Civil War Gold.

Now that The Curse of Oak Island season 12 is just about done airing, if another season is coming, Alex will no doubt be involved, either on-screen, off-screen, or both. Until then, he leads a private life with his new wife, Katherine, in Michigan. Whether he’ll carry on the tradition of treasure hunting to his kids remains to be seen, but if he does, it would sure make for more compelling television.
