Olivia Flowers confirmed the end of her engagement to Alex Williams last week. And because she had celebrated her bachelorette weekend in Miami weeks prior and posted a photo of Alex kissing her just one day before, many wondered what had happened between them.
Although the 33-year-old Southern Charm alum has not yet shared additional details regarding the potential catalyst for the sudden split, a new report has shed some light on what may have gone down, suspecting that Olivia learned something about Alex on the day that her breakup announcement was made.
“The day before her PR agent posted the breakup announcement she had pics of her and fiance at a wedding kissing. I’m going to assume what I heard was true [and] she found something out the day she called it off,” Bravo and Cocktails on Instagram replied after getting a question from someone asking for tea on the split.
“I really like Olivia [and] wish her the best … Also I’m told they had split a couple times during their relationship so apparently it wasn’t smooth sailing on their home front for a while,” the outlet added.
As Southern Charm fans likely saw, Olivia released a split statement on Instagram on October 14 through her Cabine Creative representative.
“After much thought and many heartfelt conversations, Olivia and her fiancé Alex have made the difficult decision not to move forward with their wedding. This was not a decision made lightly, but one grounded in deep mutual respect and love for one another,” the rep wrote. “While this isn’t the path they originally envisioned, they are profoundly grateful for the love and support of their friends and family. Alex and Olivia remain committed to each other with a renewed sense of clarity, strength and appreciation for honoring one’s heart.”
“She is very appreciative of your grace and kindness as they move through this transition together,” the statement concluded.
After the announcement was made, fans were quick to pick up on the odd timing of the statement.
“Oh no.. what did he do?!!!!” one person wondered.
“Exactly!!!” another replied.
A third agreed that was their “first thought” as Olivia had just shared pictures of them together.
“To me, it seems like something blindsided her,” they suspected.
Olivia Flowers appeared in a full-time role on the eighth and ninth seasons of Southern Charm.
