1. Olivia Was On Season 3 of ‘Love Island’
Olivia, who is 30 years old, was a contestant on the third season of Love Island in the United States, which aired during the summer of 2021. She actually ended up winning the show along with Korey Gandy. Olivia was coupled up with Javonny Vega at the beginning, but she wound up dumping him by day 17 to continue on the show as a single. She returned to the villa after the breakup, and eventually coupled up with Korey on day 29. In the end, Korey received the most public votes to win the $100,000 prize, which he opted to split with Olivia.

Earlier this season on The Challenge, Olivia sparked a romance with fellow contestant, Nelson Thomas. However, the pair’s relationship did not last post-filming. Nelson opened up about the breakup on MTV’s official podcast for The Challenge. He said Olivia called him after filming ended and they spoke for two hours, but she told him she wasn’t ready for a relationship.
“She just wasn’t ready for what I was ready for,” Nelson admitted. “It was a timing thing. It got my heart broken. You put yourself out there and it’s hard dating in real life. She was that rock for me at one point.” Olivia also confirmed that she had “friend-zoned” Nelson and said that she was just having “fun” with him on the show.
