Olivia Molly Rogers Breaks Silence on Feud with Stylist Paul Versace

Olivia Molly Rogers has broken her silence over the apparent ‘feud’ with her former ‘bestie’ and stylist Paul Versace.

The pair were once all but attached at the hip as the former Miss Universe Australia, 33, attended events with the fashion guru, holidayed lavishly together, and welcomed him as a guest on her podcast, Tell Me More.   

Paul, 31, even played matchmaker as he introduced Olivia to her ex Morgan Waterhouse and current boyfriend Hugo Breakey – but it seems the friends’ tight bond has come to an end. 

Olivia took to Instagram on Wednesday to answer a fan’s question about the pair’s relationship.

Responding, Olivia admitted their parting of ways was due to geography.

‘I get a lot of questions on here whenever I do a Q&A which I do understand because we used to spend a lot of time together,’ she wrote.

‘So, just to address it gently – he moved to Sydney and we are not working together any more.’ 

Olivia rounded out her post with a hint that there may have been a fractious element to their relationship.

‘Sometimes friendships shift, but I will always wish him nothing but the best,’ she added.

While Olivia and Paul still follow each other on Instagram, the model was last seen on his company account, Styled By Bloom, in September 2024.

Paul styled the beauty for the Spring Gala event at Flemington Racecourse in Victoria, but she has not appeared on his styling account since.

The friends were typically spotted together at all the major Melbourne events, including Melbourne Fashion Week and the F1 Glamour on the Grid event, as they worked together to craft extravagant looks for the occasions.

However, Olivia appears to have hired a new stylist for all her red-carpet appearances so far this year.

‘I get a lot of questions on here whenever I do a Q&A which I do understand because we used to spend a lot of time together,’ she wrote. ‘So, just to address it gently – he moved to Sydney and we are not working together anymore,’ Olivia shared on Instagram this week 

As for their personal Instagram pages, Paul wiped all traces of Olivia from his personal account last week while he was on holiday in Japan.

Meanwhile, Olivia still has pictures of Paul on her page, with the last one being posted in June last year—though she continued to tag his styling account up until September.

Speculation has arisen that their bust-up may be linked to Olivia’s split from her ex Morgan, as he was also friends with Paul, who first introduced the couple in early 2023.

However, this is currently uncertain as Paul also introduced Olivia to her current boyfriend Hugo following her split from Morgan in December 2023 after seven months of dating.

Speaking about the bestie bust-up in March, Outspoken podcast hosts Amy, Sophie and Kate Tauber claimed Molly’s break-up with Morgan was behind the split.

‘When it comes to a break-up, you try and be friends with both parties originally and it gets to a point where that is no longer possible,’ they said.

They then questioned: ‘Perhaps he has picked Morgan over Olivia?’

Olivia revealed in July last year the details of how she had a chance meeting with Hugo thanks to Paul, as she participated in a Q&A with fans on Instagram.

‘Sometimes friendships shift, but I will always wish him nothing but the best,’ she added, hinting at a possible fractious element in their relationship 

When one follower asked how the lovebirds met, Olivia responded: ‘I love the story of how we met so I’m happy to answer.

‘It was out at a bar in Melbourne. My stylist Paul spotted him on the dance floor and went over.

‘He said, “You’re handsome, are you single? I have the perfect girl for you.” Then told him to stay there.

‘P came and grabbed me, pulled me over and put me in front of him.

‘And the way Paul describes it, “There were love hearts popping in the sky all around you both.” So Paul is the ultimate wingman.’
