After Olivia had some ups and downs on her road to finding love with Austen Kroll and Rod Razavi, Olivia has officially found her happiness in her boyfriend of a year, Alex Williams. Olivia took to Instagram on Monday, May 13, where she shared a series of photos from the past year of their relationship and revealed the super cute way they met for the first time.

It's a meet-cute worthy of a romance novel as they embark on their next chapter together.

How did Olivia Flowers meet her boyfriend Alex Williams?

"After arriving late to a wedding ([and] tripping up the church stairs) I was met by a handsome usher to take me to my seat," she wrote in the caption of the post, detailing the first time they met. "Later, that same usher asked my date (my dad) if he could dance with me..."

"A year later and we're still dancing (and tripping up the stairs)," she added. "Cheers to stage 5 clinging."

Olivia accompanied her sweet caption with several photos taken throughout the first year of their relationship. In the snapshots, the couple can be seen hanging out on the dance floor, smiling on a boat, eating pizza, and flying on a plane. To top it all off, Olivia included a hilarious clip from Wedding Crashers in the carousel. "I've been looking all over for you, I've got to get out of here, I have a stage five clinger," Vince Vaughn can be seen saying in the video taken from the clip from the movie.

Olivia also included a photo of the most adorable note Alex wrote for her at his apartment, which includes the fact that he had comfy clothes waiting for her on the bed, and a menu of things she could eat from his refrigerator. "Don't forget, what['s] mine is yours and leave a mess please," he wrote in the note.

Who is Olivia Flowers' boyfriend, Alex Williams?

Olivia took to the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast in December 2023, where she spilled all the information about her beau, who works in finance and is not in the public eye, unlike her exes. After taking Madison LeCroy's advice on "looking outside of Charleston" Olivia found Alex, who currently lives in Dallas. Despite the physical distance between them, Olivia said that she thinks Alex could be "the one." 

"I like him a lot," she said on the podcast. "He lives in Dallas, where I'm from. It is [long distance], but he can work remote, so he's in Charleston a little bit."

It's also important to note that Alex had never seen an episode of Southern Charm before meeting Olivia. "I made him watch it with me, and I have a video of him watching it," she said. But do not fear, Alex has already met and is "cordial" with her ex, Austen. 

"Honeymoons over," Olivia jokingly wrote in the caption of the video of Alex watching the show for the first time.
