Olivia Molly Rogers has opened up about seeing her ex-husband Justin McKeone welcome his first child with new girlfriend Tahnee Leeson.
The model, 33, who has been very open about wishing she had a family of her own, broke her silence last Tuesday during a Q&A episode of her Tell Me More podcast.
She said despite her own desires to get pregnant and have a child, she feels 'happy' for Justin and 'confident' she made the right decision in divorcing him.
'I'm happy for my exes moving on. I don't feel upset when I hear about it or see anything,' she said.
'Genuinely, I haven't felt negatively about that at all since we split. It really helps me to know I made the right decision.

'I never once looked back and thought, "That could have been me." I'm so confident in this decision I made. I don't think we were a good fit for each other.
'I don't think it would have been a good idea to have children. I think it's really good that we didn't. I wish them all the best. I don't feel sad seeing that.'
Justin welcomed his first child Tahnee on April 28, with the Bachelor star announcing the news on her Instagram account on Mother's Day.
'My perfect boy. Arlo Leeson Mckeone surprised us all by arriving almost 4 weeks early with a 7 hour active labour at 10.01pm on the 28th of April,' she wrote.
'However, not the best entry to motherhood with Arlo spending the following 6 nights in Perth Children's Hospital and a further 4 back where I gave birth at Osborne Park Hospital.'
Tahnee then detailed the terrifying moment Arlo experienced 'breathing issues at 30 minutes of life needing 6 hours on the CPAP'.
'Then a course of antibiotics and a feeding tube for 6 days. Thankfully my strong boy was ultimately okay all things considered,' she continued.
'In that environment I was definitely one of the lucky ones.'
'That said, no one can prepare you to go through the all consuming and emotional experience of childbirth, only to watch this tiny little boy be wheeled away from you mere hours later,' she continued.
'Then the hours upon hours I spent in hospital just holding him in my arms never wanting to leave and crying when I had to.
'His final 3 nights in hospital was done under my full care, an experience I'm so thankful l could do with the hospital to ensure he was fully prepared for life outside their safe walls.'
Tahnee said their newborn son was now doing well and her new role as a mother 'is undoubtedly my greatest achievement ever'.
Olivia and her ex-husband Justin split in October 2022 after just eight months of marriage.
Break-up rumours began swirling in September after fans noticed she'd reverted to her maiden name on Instagram and unpinned all photos from her February wedding.
The former couple, who met in 2018, were last pictured together in August 2022 in a series of loved-up holiday snaps from their trip to New York City.
In April, Olivia said she married Justin out of 'fear' of what others might think if she left him.
The model revealed in a column she penned for Mamamia that she knew the couple 'were not totally aligned' just nine months into their relationship in 2018.
'We moved in together after six months, bought a gorgeous puppy, and it very much felt like what we would be a forever thing,' she wrote.
'However, about nine months in, I had this niggling feeling that we were not totally aligned.'
Olivia went on to say she felt societal pressures to 'conform to certain ideals about love and marriage', adding she never had a healthy understanding of how to manage 'adversity' in relationships.
Olivia has also since moved on from her relationship with Justin, and, after a brief romance with model Morgan Waterhouse, is now dating her new beau Hugo Breakey.
The brunette beauty went public with her new man last year when the pair attended the premiere of Beauty and the Beast in Melbourne.

Poh Ling Yeow is set to 'leave her judging post on MasterChef' - as executives eye off a fan favourite to replace her

MasterChef Australia fan favourite Poh Ling Yeow is reportedly set to 'leave her judging post' as the cooking competition faces another shake-up in the star cast. The celebrity cook, 51, is said to be preparing her exit from the long-running series at the end of this season - prompting executives to search for a new judge to join Andy Allen, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli on the panel, reported New Idea. And there's already one name being floated as a potential replacement – beloved original contestant Julie Goodwin. 'Julie would be a fantastic judge. Fans love her,' a source told the outlet. 'While no one wants to see Poh leave, everyone would welcome Julie back with open arms.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Julie, 54, who beat Poh in the very first season of MasterChef back in 2009, returned to the franchise in 2022 before making a surprise appearance as a guest judge in 2023. Insiders say she 'absolutely loved' her time on the other side of the bench and could be ready to return in a more permanent capacity. Poh, who joined the judging panel in 2022, has previously admitted the role hasn't always come naturally to her. Earlier this year, she opened up on the From The Newsroom podcast, revealing she often imagines herself back in the contestant's shoes. 'I constantly run through the challenges that I have just delivered and think about what I would do in that situation,' she said. 'That's how much I miss and love it.' It comes after Poh announced she would be stepping away from the kitchen as she revealed she'll be working closely with Tourism NT as their new ambassador. She revealed she wishes to inspire Australians to discover a holiday up north that is 'different in every sense'. 'As someone who adores travel, learning, and finding inspiration in new places, the NT is a dream destination,' Poh said. 'From the breathtaking Top End to the awe-inspiring Red Centre, I've fallen in love with it all - and I couldn't be prouder to showcase everything this extraordinary place has to offer!' In her new role, Poh will spotlight the 'unparalleled beauty, rich cultures, vibrant food scene and artistic heritage' of the Northern Territory. Poh stepped into the role after gracing the cover of The Australian Women's Weekly for the first ever Outback Christmas issue last year. She has since been exploring the vast territory, famous for its red desert landscapes, and visiting some iconic destinations. Travelling through Top End, the celebrity cook enjoyed stops at Litchfield National Park, Finniss River Lodge and the Territory's tropical capital, Darwin. She then made her way down to the Red Centre where she visited Alice Springs (Mparntwe), Hermannsburg (Ntaria), Ormiston Gorge and Ellery Creek Big Hole. Rainbow Valley Conservation Reserve and the majestic Uluru-Kata Tjuṯa National Park were also on her list of travel destinations.
