Southern Charm alum Olivia Flowers shocked Bravo fans when she called off her wedding in October 2025. It was a month before the nuptials, and the Bravolebrity was actively sharing all the wedding planning on social media. However, she and her fiancé, Alex Williams, decided to cancel their big day.
Olivia and Alex shared a statement at the time, without offering an explanation. However, the couple stayed together. And now the former reality TV star, who started dating Alex in May 2023, is ready to share more.
Olivia Flowers and Alex Williams are still dating
“It was a decision we made together and honestly, we had so much stress about things post-wedding and I think we were scapegoating the wedding planning as, like, ‘Oh this is why we’re stressed,’” Olivia explained during Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. “But then three weeks out from the wedding, the wedding’s done being planned, you’re done and we’re still feeling that stressed. So we had a lot of difficult conversations, but they were essential and we realized we were both feeling stressed and nervous about things post-wedding.”
She continued, “We can hit pause and just kind of get back in alignment with each other and what we want to do. The wedding got very big, and as much fun as I had planning it, it did kind of get away from me. And it’s a celebration, it’s a party to everyone with all our people and we love that, but for us it’s a step into forever and we take it very seriously.”
The couple needed “a little more space.” And the duo felt there were “a lot of moving parts,” including Alex working “in another city” and Olivia “spending time more in New York.”
Interstingly, the couple chose to spend time apart on what would have been their big day. Olivia said it was to avoid the “five elephants in one room.” The Southern Charm alum “pivoted” the party and had a “movie night” with her bridesmaids.
Speaking for herself and Alex, Olivia explained that they “weathered the storm together,” but with the support of friends. It was a “reality check” that left them “stronger” and “so united.” Only “the budget” “got hurt.”
Olivia revealed that they “really prioritized communicating” and the relationship is stronger than ever. She said, “There’s a whole new space of authenticity and just, like, talking to each other. That’s how we reached the decision, is being like, ‘Something is off here.’ And recognizing the disconnect we were having.”
Ultimately, the Southern Charm star’s parents “felt” that something was off with the couple. They “called it out,” and that got Olivia and Alex considering their options.
Olivia still wears her ring. And should she and Alex decide to try again, she sees it “being more intimate.” But “three outfit changes” is a must.
