Did ’The Curse of Oak Island’s Alex Lagina & Miriam Amirault Get Married? Romance Rumors Explained
After years of speculation, The Curse of Oak Island fans finally have an answer to one of the show’s longest-running off-screen mysteries: No, Alex Lagina and archaeologist Miriam Amirault were never romantically involved — and the Oak Island heir has officially moved on, recently marrying Michigan native Katherine Sneed in a private ceremony earlier this year.
The long-standing rumor began back in 2020 when Amirault joined the treasure-hunting series during Season 8. Her intelligence, charisma, and calm confidence during high-pressure excavations quickly caught the audience’s attention — and when she began working closely with Alex Lagina, the son of series co-star Marty Lagina, fans immediately began to wonder if there was more than archaeology connecting the two.
The Rumor That Captured Fans
Throughout her appearances on The Curse of Oak Island and her return in Season 10 (2022), Amirault’s chemistry with Alex on-screen sparked online fan theories that the two might be dating off-camera. By 2023, social media threads, Reddit discussions, and fan blogs were awash with speculation that a wedding could even be in the cards.
However, despite the internet frenzy, neither Alex nor Miriam ever commented publicly on the rumors. Those close to production have long maintained that the two were simply professional colleagues — part of the tight-knit Oak Island team devoted to uncovering one of history’s most enduring mysteries.
“There was mutual respect between them,” one production source said. “But off-screen, their relationship was entirely professional. The speculation was just fans getting a little too invested in the Oak Island story.”
A Real-Life Love Story
Fast forward to February 2024, when Alex Lagina quietly exchanged vows with Katherine Sneed, his longtime girlfriend. The ceremony, held in Michigan, was an intimate affair attended by close family and friends — a fittingly private event for the reserved Lagina family.
Photos from the celebration later surfaced online through The Curse of Oak Island fan forums and social media, showing the couple smiling beneath soft winter lights. One guest even shared pictures on Instagram with the caption:
“Got to celebrate the new Mr. & Mrs. Lagina all weekend 🥹🤍.”
While Alex rarely discusses his personal life on camera, fans were thrilled to see him embark on this new chapter. His new wife, Katherine Sneed, is a Michigan native and accomplished professional in her own right. According to her LinkedIn profile, she serves as a Senior Corporate Communications Specialist for Hagerty, an automotive lifestyle brand and membership organization for car enthusiasts headquartered in Traverse City — the same city the Lagina family calls home.
Sneed graduated from the University of Miami in 2016 with a degree in Design and Visual Communications, and has been with Hagerty since 2017.
“She’s warm, grounded, and very private — just like Alex,” said a family acquaintance. “They’re a perfect match because they both value family, hard work, and keeping their lives away from the spotlight.”
Where Is Miriam Amirault Now?
As for Miriam Amirault, the Canadian archaeologist who became a fan favorite during her brief tenure on the show, she has largely stayed out of public view since her last appearance in 2022. Without any active public social media accounts, details about her current projects are scarce.
Amirault, originally from Nova Scotia, earned her degree in Archaeology from the University of New Brunswick and is believed to be continuing her work in the field — possibly contributing to historical or cultural preservation projects across Canada.
“She’s the kind of professional who values the work over the fame,” said one academic familiar with her background. “Miriam has always been focused on research and discovery — not the spotlight.”
Oak Island’s Next Chapter
With the 13th season of The Curse of Oak Island airing Tuesdays at 9/8c on the History Channel, fans are once again drawn into the centuries-old search for the island’s legendary treasure. This year, the Lagina brothers — Rick and Marty — and their dedicated crew return to explore new leads in the Money Pit and Lot 5, following tantalizing clues that could finally unlock the mystery that has captivated viewers for more than a decade.
Though Miriam Amirault has not been part of recent expeditions, and Alex Lagina now balances his role on the show with newlywed life, both remain connected to the enduring Oak Island legend — one built not just on gold and artifacts, but on persistence, partnership, and shared history.
A Treasure Beyond Gold
For longtime fans, Alex Lagina’s quiet marriage and Miriam Amirault’s continued professional success bring a fitting sense of closure to years of online speculation. The two, it seems, have each found their own paths — one leading to a new life chapter in Michigan, the other to continued exploration and discovery in Canada.
And while the mysteries beneath Oak Island may remain unsolved, one thing is clear: the real treasures are sometimes found far from the dig site — in love, purpose, and the stories that continue to bring people together.
