Former Miss Universe Australia Olivia Molly Rogers’ marriage to ex-husband Justin McKeone wasn’t meant to be.
The pair tied the knot in February 2022 and the model confirmed her split that October, just eight months later.
Now, Rogers, 32, has revealed the heartbreaking and foreboding words her mother told her days before the wedding.
Watch the video above.
In a candid new interview on the Inherited podcast, Rogers said: ‘’Something happened a few nights before the wedding … that really crossed boundaries for me, and Mum was there.
“In the morning on the Thursday, she said to me, ‘We can call the wedding off, you don’t have to go ahead with it.'”
Tearing up as she spoke, Rogers said her friends and family had made a lot of effort and even flew interstate to attend the wedding and she felt she couldn’t let them down.

”I was literally going to go pick up the wedding dress and I was getting messages from friends … I had messages saying, ‘I have just landed in Melbourne, so excited to be here,'” she recalled.
”I cared about the money they would lose, everybody had booked flights and accommodation and put so much into that day.
“I just felt like I couldn’t. I’m really grateful to my Mum that she did say that, and she made it very clear that she would support me if I chose to call it off.
“But I didn’t really feel like I had an option… And I was a mess.”
When she announced her split from McKeone, she wrote in part: “After 4.5 years together, Justin and I have come to the difficult decision to separate as a couple.”
Following the split, she told 9honey: “I have been really taking the time to focus on myself since becoming single and I am truly really enjoying it.”

“I am able to put myself first and focus only on what I want to do and who I want to spend my time with. I feel like [self love] really does have a deeper meaning for me at the moment.”
She is now dating Hugo Breakey.
