Alex McCord and her husband of two decades, Simon Van Kempen, looked nearly unrecognizable in a new photo the former Real Housewives of New York City star, 47, shared to her Instagram account! Alex took to her IG on New Year’s Day, January 1, to share a sweet selfie pic of herself and her beloved beau. In the snap, Alex and Simon, 56, positively beamed at the camera while enjoying a day kayaking in their “backyard.”
