The former Miss Universe Australia, 33, tied the knot with Justin at the Terindah Estate on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula after an engagement which lasted just over two years. But now the model has revealed in a column she penned for Mamamia on Wednesday that she knew the couple 'were not totally aligned' just nine months into their relationship in 2018.
'We moved in together after six months, bought a gorgeous puppy, and it very much felt like what we had would be a forever thing. However, about nine months in, I had this niggling feeling that we were not totally aligned,' she wrote. Olivia went on to say she felt societal pressures to 'conform to certain ideals about love and marriage', adding she never had a healthy understanding of how to manage 'adversity' in relationships.
'The fear of judgement loomed large. I wanted to leave, but I worried about how my decision would be perceived by friends, family, acquaintances, and even strangers. Would they think I was failing?' she said.
Olivia Molly Rogers, 33, has revealed she married her ex-husband Justin McKeone in 2022 out of 'fear' of what others might think if she left him 'Would they question my choices? Would they think less of me as a person? These thoughts played on repeat in my mind, drowning out the voice that urged me to take a step back and reevaluate my situation.' However, Olivia said her feelings of doubt about their union only grew as time passed on, with feelings of anxiety 'gnawing at her daily'. She said she was so scared of 'what others would say' and 'of being alone' that she kept 'suppressing her true feelings' until she was left sobbing the night before her wedding.
Nevertheless, that fear of judgement pushed her to go ahead with the wedding even though she knew she didn't want to marry Justin. Olivia said she finally decided to leave divorce Justin eight months into their marriage after confessing her feelings to her therapist . Olivia confirmed her split from finance expert Justin in October 2022.
