Looks like Olivia has moved on with a new man from deep in the heart of Texas.
And, if you can believe it, one of her exes actually approves!
Olivia Flowers’ New Boyfriend: Meet Alex!
On Season 9 of Southern Charm, fans watched as Olivia healed from her split from Austen Kroll.
Then, it looked like she was developing a connection with Rod Razavi.
But in late 2023, Olivia revealed she met a new love, a Dallas native named Alex.

No last name, but Olivia has revealed Alex works in finance and that before they met, he didn’t know anything about Southern Charm.
Speaking of meeting up, their meet cute sounds fresh from the latest Hallmark rom-com.
“His name’s Alex [and] he’s from Dallas. We met at a wedding,” Olivia revealed to Nick Viall on an episode of his “Viall Files” podcast. “I was my dad’s date [to the ceremony] and he was running late to it. So, I’m walking in by myself, late, and [Alex] was the usher and he’s like, ‘Can I walk you down the aisle?’ I was like, ‘It’s a little soon, but OK.’”
Sounds more than OK!
How Long Have They Been Dating?
A few weeks after announcing the romance, Olivia revealed that their courtship had been kind of a secret for awhile.
“It’s been seven months,” Olivia shared on a recent appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. “I didn’t really talk about him much; I wanted to see how it went first.”
Fair enough. Sometimes privacy is the key to success. And it sounds like, Olivia feels exactly the same.

“It was a soft launch,” Olivia explained about wanting to keep her relationship quiet at first. “And then I was like, ‘OK, I’ll do a hard launch now.’”
Now that things are out in the open, however, Olivia has been very vocal about her love life – and she’s all about him on Instagram too!
Because they’re in a long distance relationship, a lot of time has been spent going back and forth. But also, a lot of time has been spent going on vacations together, like a recent trip to the Bahamas she posted about Instagram.

To be determined, to say the least.
Season nine of the hit Bravo show has just wrapped up, with the reunion set to air on January 11, 2024. The explosive episode will cover, among other things, the entire cast confronting Taylor over her secret hookup with Olivia’s then boyfriend Austen.
Things get heated as the former BFFs dish it out, so one might think Olivia would want to keep her new love out of the spotlight.
And yet…
“I don’t know; We haven’t talked about it yet. He’s very much, like, ‘do what you need to do’ kind of guy,” she said in the podcast. “It doesn’t seem like he would be interested in being on, but he’s very supportive. I think if there was a time where it would work or make sense, he probably would.”

Austin Kroll Approves Of Olivia’s New Man
So, remember that aforementioned trip to the Bahamas.
Turns out Olivia’s ex Austin, who she broke up with in 2022 after a year together, was also on that trip. The vacation, while intimate for Alex and Olivia, seems to have been a friends getaway arranged by Austin and Olivia’s mutual friends.
So, as you can expect, Austin met Olivia’s new beau and it .. didn’t go too badly!
“[Alex] didn’t know anything about the show, so it was fun introducing it to [Austen],” she explained to Viall on his podcast.
When asked about Kroll’s take on the new couple. “Well, they met and it went well. Because Alex can get extra nice when he’s drunk and be buddy-buddy, I was like, ‘Babe, just go and be nice, but you don’t have to be besties with him.’”

What We Can Learn Inside 50 Cent’s Explosive Diddy Documentary: 5 Reasons You Should Watch

50 Cent’s new Netflix docuseries about Sean “Diddy” Combs is more than a headline-grabbing exposé; it is a meticulous breakdown of how power, celebrity, and silence can collide in the entertainment industry.
Across its episodes, the series traces Diddy’s rise, the allegations that followed him for years, and the shocking footage and testimonies now forcing a wider cultural reckoning.

1. It Chronicles Diddy’s Rise and Fall – And How Power Warps Reality
The docuseries follows Combs from hitmaker and business icon to a figure facing serious criminal conviction and public disgrace, mapping out decades of influence, branding, and behind-the-scenes behavior. Watching that arc shows how money, fame, and industry relationships can shield someone from scrutiny and delay accountability, even as disturbing accusations accumulate.

2. Never-Before-Seen Footage Shows How Narratives Are Managed
Exclusive footage of Diddy in private settings and in the tense days around his legal troubles reveals how carefully celebrity narratives are shaped, even in crisis.
Viewers can learn to question polished statements and recognize that what looks spontaneous in public is often the result of strategy, damage control, and legal calculation.
3. Survivors’ Stories Highlight Patterns of Abuse and Silence
Interviews with alleged victims, former staff, and industry insiders describe patterns of control, fear, and emotional or physical harm that were long whispered about but rarely aired in this detail. Their stories underline how difficult it is to speak out against a powerful figure, teaching viewers why many survivors delay disclosure and why consistent patterns across multiple accounts matter.
4. 50 Cent’s Approach Shows Storytelling as a Tool for Accountability
As executive producer, 50 Cent uses his reputation and platform to push a project that leans into uncomfortable truths rather than protecting industry relationships. The series demonstrates how documentary storytelling can challenge established power structures, elevate marginalized voices, and pressure institutions to respond when traditional systems have failed.
5. The Cultural Backlash Reveals How Society Handles Celebrity Accountability
Reactions to the doc—ranging from people calling it necessary and brave to others dismissing it as a vendetta or smear campaign—expose how emotionally invested audiences can be in defending or condemning a famous figure. Watching that debate unfold helps viewers see how fandom, nostalgia, and bias influence who is believed, and why conversations about “cancel culture” often mask deeper questions about justice and who is considered too powerful to fall.

South Park’s Christmas Episode Delivers the Antichrist

A new Christmas-themed episode of South Park is scheduled to air with a central plot in which Satan is depicted as preparing for the birth of an Antichrist figure. The premise extends a season-long narrative arc that has involved Satan, Donald Trump, and apocalyptic rhetoric, positioning this holiday episode as a culmination of those storylines rather than a stand‑alone concept.
Episode premise and season context
According to published synopses and entertainment coverage, the episode frames the Antichrist as part of a fictional storyline that blends religious symbolism with commentary on politics, media, and cultural fear. This follows earlier Season 28 episodes that introduced ideas about Trump fathering an Antichrist child and tech billionaire Peter Thiel obsessing over prophecy and end‑times narratives. The Christmas setting is presented as a contrast to the darker themes, reflecting the series’ pattern of pairing holiday imagery with controversial subject matter.
Public and political reactions
Coverage notes that some figures connected to Donald Trump’s political orbit have criticized the season’s portrayal of Trump and his allies, describing the show as relying on shock tactics rather than substantive critique. Commentators highlight that these objections are directed more at the depiction of real political figures and the show’s tone than at the specific theology of the Antichrist storyline.
At the time of reporting, there have not been widely reported, detailed statements from major religious leaders focused solely on this Christmas episode, though religion-focused criticism of South Park in general has a long history.
Media and cultural commentary
Entertainment outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Forbes, Slate, and USA Today describe the Antichrist arc as part of South Park’s ongoing use of Trump-era and tech-world politics as material for satire.
Viewer guidance and content advisory
South Park is rated TV‑MA and is intended for adult audiences due to strong language, explicit themes, and frequent use of religious and political satire. Viewers who are sensitive to depictions of Satan, the Antichrist, or parodies involving real political figures may find this episode particularly objectionable, while others may view it as consistent with the show’s long‑running approach to controversial topics. As with previous episodes, individual responses are likely to vary widely, and the episode is best understood as part of an ongoing satirical series rather than a factual or theological statement.

Sydney Sweeney Finally Confronts the Plastic Surgery Rumors

Sydney Sweeney has decided she is finished watching strangers on the internet treat her face like a forensic project. After years of side‑by‑side screenshots, “then vs now” TikToks, and long comment threads wondering what work she has supposedly had done, the actor is now addressing the plastic surgery rumors directly—and using them to say something larger about how women are looked at in Hollywood and online.

Growing Up on Camera vs. “Before and After” Culture
Sweeney points out that people are often mistaking normal changes for procedures: she grew up on camera, her roles now come with big‑budget glam teams, and her body has shifted as she has trained, aged, and worked nonstop. Yet every new red‑carpet photo gets folded into a narrative that assumes surgeons, not time, are responsible. Rather than walking through a checklist of what is “real,” she emphasizes how bizarre it is that internet detectives comb through pores, noses, and jawlines as if they are owed an explanation for every contour of a woman’s face.
The Real Problem Isn’t Her Face
By speaking up, Sweeney is redirecting the conversation away from her features and toward the culture that obsesses over them.
She argues that the real issue isn’t whether an actress has had work done, but why audiences feel so entitled to dissect her body as public property in the first place.
For her, the constant speculation is less about curiosity and more about control—another way to tell women what they should look like and punish them when they do not fit. In calling out that dynamic, Sweeney isn’t just defending herself; she is forcing fans and followers to ask why tearing apart someone else’s appearance has become such a popular form of entertainment.
