Olivia Flowers hosted an “Ask Me Anything” session on her Instagram Story on Monday night, where she reacted to a series of questions sent in by her fans and followers.
Just over two months after the tragic passing of her brother, Conner Flowers, who was just 32-years-old, the Southern Charm cast member offered an update on her parents, Garry and Robin Flowers, while also addressing Tom Sandoval‘s affair with Raquel Leviss and an outing between herself and Shep Rose that was filmed for season nine.
“How are you? How’s your mom and dad?” someone asked Olivia on April 3.
“They are leaning strong on each other and their faith. I’ll be visiting them in Texas soon. Thank you for asking,” Olivia replied.
As fans may recall, Olivia confirmed Conner’s death in an emotional tribute on her Instagram page on February 9.
“I’ve been avoiding the post and anything else that makes losing you our new reality,” she wrote with a series of family pics, “but I want to wish you a Happy Heavenly Birthday Conner. Mom, Dad, and I love you. here on earth, we are missing you #33.”
And after expressing thanks to her supporters, noting that their messages “haven’t gone unseen,” Olivia was met with love and kindness from her castmates, including ex-boyfriend Austen Kroll, Taylor Ann Green, and Kathryn Dennis.
“Love having yall around me,” she said of her co-stars.
In another message, a second fan asked for Olivia’s “thoughts on Scandoval.”
But Olivia didn’t have much to say. Instead, she simply shared a pic of Ariana Madix in her “revenge dress” and asked for the “next question.”
A third person wanted to know if Olivia has “played any tennis lately.”
“Played [with] Shep a little while ago,” she revealed.
She then said that when it comes to their time on the tennis court, viewers of Southern Charm will see the moment play out.
“You’ll see how that goes down the new season,” she confirmed.
Last month, just before filming on season nine wrapped, Olivia found herself in the headlines as her ex, Austen, was accused of hooking up with her best friend, Taylor, who is the ex-girlfriend of Austen’s friend Shep.
And while the potential rendezvous would have been quite scandalous, much like Sandoval’s relationship with Raquel, an insider told Page Six that Olivia, although “aware [of the situation],” had “bigger issues to deal with” at the time.
Southern Charm season nine is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime in the coming months.
