Love Island icon Olivia Hawkins has opened up about why the show has hindered her love life. The Winter 2023 star chatted to Daily Star at O Beach's launch party as SHEIN celebrated the launch of their Island Edit. The star spent time with the brand to celebrate their smoking hot new launch.
Olivia exclusively said: "I am dating but I'm not in a rush to settle down. has definitely hindered things I'd say, it's so much harder now. "You don't know people's intentions, it's a lot harder.
I think people assume we're probably more intimidating or something now. The only way people approach me mainly is on Instagram, but they don't even message, it's just a like of a story or something!" Olivia left the villa arm in arm with her ex Maxwell Samuda, 25, but the pair decided to part ways just weeks after leaving the show. Maxwell told the Murad Merali Podcast shortly after: "The main thing I would say with the whole situation, when you're in the villa and even just after the villa but you're still in South Africa together, it's a very different environment.
"All that you have to focus on in that period of time is each other and kind of just being on holiday together and it's kind of easy to have a great time when you're on holiday. But once you come back home and there are all these other things going on that then take your attention and take your focus. "It really gives you the opportunity to look at it and think is there really longevity in this situation or is it that we've connect.
