Olivia, who previously dated Tristan between 2020 and 2021, said of their living arrangement: ‘It’s actually been really good, shockingly. I mean… the day we moved in, there was nearly a break up!
‘But no, it’s been really nice. I think he’s a hoarder. He had boxes and boxes of just rubbish and I was like, “I need to put my foot down about this.”
‘He just needs things from his… like he’s trying to move all his tinfoil and his cling film. And I was like, “We don’t need that!” Lots of strange things.
‘But then he does hold onto very sweet things. Like if I’ve ever written him a little note. He’ll hold on to it.’

She elaborated: ‘I write little notes just saying I’m sorry because I’ve probably done something. I’m trying to think… finishing the milk. Just silly things.’
This isn’t Olivia and Tristan’s first attempt at living together. During lockdown, they gave it a go but admitted they ‘struggled’ due to not being able to ‘escape’ one another.
This time around, though, things are clearly working out better – with the influencer revealing wedding bells could be just around the corner.
She gushed: ‘I’d love a ring on my finger. We do speak about it. I don’t know if I’m in a rush to have kids yet. I do want them, but probably not in the next year. But I mean, I’d love to get engaged.

‘I think some some guys get a bit nervous talking about that sort of thing but we’ve very much discussed our future. We’ll be together and marriage and kids will be on the cards.’
Her best friend Ollie Locke and his husband Gareth voiced concern about the re-coupling earlier this year, however Olivia’s claimed it’s all water under the bridge.
When asked if Ollie has come around to supporting them, she said: ‘Yes, massively. I think him and Gareth are big fans of me and Tristan. It was just a tricky time.’
One might imagine having their relationship filmed for the purposes of entertainment could add some strain, however Olivia revealed it only helps them to talk over their issues.

She said: ‘I think sometimes there are certain things that we discuss on Chelsea which… that’s what we’re there to do.
‘It sometimes can make it harder, but sometimes it can be better because then certain issues that you may not discuss… they do come to light and then you sort it out a bit quicker because of filming about it.
‘I think it’s more the trolling side of it that doesn’t help, like people on Instagram giving their two cents worth.’

With the happy couple residing at Liv’s Chelsea pad, they claimed their living arrangements are under different circumstances this time.
She told new! magazine: ‘It’s our own terms now, so it’s been a lot more exciting. It would take a serious amount of arguing to break us up now – even if there’s always an abundance of laundry around our flat, or I leave my hair clips everywhere.
Tristan added: ‘Being almost forced to live together during the pandemic – when we were also filming the show together – meant we couldn’t learn to love each other naturally. Any normal lovers’ tiff was heightened in that environment.’
Speaking to the publication in March 2021 before their first split, Olivia said she feared her relationship with Tristan wouldn’t make it through the last series of Made In Chelsea.

The couple’s romance was put to the test as they moved into a luxury mansion in the Cotswolds with the rest of the cast of the E4 reality show.
Asked if she feared her relationship wouldn’t last, Olivia said: ‘I did. It must be the same for so many couples in lockdown.
‘I know so many people where it’s completely ruined their relationship. I’ve never lived with a boyfriend before so to go from that to living together is a huge step.’
She added: ‘We’ve gone from dating to living together, which is so intense in a short space of time. We have ups and downs. It’s a lot more eventful than I thought it would be.’
Olivia revealed there are a lot more arguments than usual on the new series as the cast had to come to grips with not being able to have space from each other.
The former Celebs Go Dating star noted that she and Tristan were not the only couple who found living together tough, adding: ‘everyone really struggled with it’.
Olivia said her friends in the mansion witnessed a lot of her squabbles with Tristan and felt the rest of the cast were ‘making their own judgements’.
