Olivia Molly Roger's ex-boyfriend Morgan Waterhouse debuts new relationship with glamorous girlfriend
Morgan Waterhouse has debuted a new relationship with glamorous girlfriend Bella Cicero, five months after he split from ex Olivia Molly Rogers. The model, 30, began dating the former Miss Universe Australia, 33, in May last year following her divorce from Justin McKeone, but they parted ways seven months later. Now, it seems Morgan has moved on from their messy breakup and found love with his new fling, 32, who he showed off at Amiss' runway show INTENTION on Friday. The pair looked every inch the happy new couple as they arrived wearing matching all-black ensembles. They were all smiles as they cuddled up for photos, with Bella putting on a leggy display in a wrap-around dress with stockings. Morgan flaunted his sculpted chest with a loose suit jacket which gaped open over his naked torso. It's unclear when exactly Morgan and Bella first connected, but a short clip of her could be seen buried in a montage video he posted to Instagram in April. It seems to be the only appearance either of them have made on each other's socials so far. Nevertheless, there is plenty to know about Bella thanks to her stint on Made in Bondi and Made in Chelsea: Sydney before that. The Perth-born model attended the affluent girls' school Iona Presentation College on a cello scholarship, but now splits her time between Bondi and Burleigh Heads, QLD. The influencer previously dated Sydney Swans star Isaac Heeney and was linked to both Tristan Phipps and Reza Amiri-Garrroussi from Made in Chelsea: Sydney. Her appearance with Morgan comes after he appeared to take a dig at his ex Olivia with a brutal TikTok post in December. He shared a video to the app which detailed what he was looking for in a woman. Among the traits he was seeking were '5'5, honest, obsessed with me, loyal' and 'loves puppies'. Morgan added he wanted a woman who 'loves their family' - but he also appeared to take a shot at Olivia. 'Hasn't won a beauty pageant,' he wrote, seemingly referring to Olivia, who was Miss Universe Australia in 2017. He went on to list negative traits he did not want in a future partner, including 'isn't a narcissist', 'doesn't cheat' and 'doesn't gaslight me'. It's unclear who, if anyone, Morgan was referring to in the remainder of his list, or if he was just listing traits he found unattractive. Olivia confirmed her split with former husband Justin McKeone in October 2022, after eight months of marriage. She began dating Morgan in May last year, but the pair parted ways in December. Olivia told photographers at the Melbourne Cup earlier this year the pair broke off their relationship and have already gone their separate ways. 'We're not together anymore, not many people know that,' she said when asked if he would be joining her at the Penfolds marquee in The Birdcage. Olivia has also since moved on from her relationship with Morgan, as she 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. Days later, some light was shed on the hunk's identity with the model having not yet named him online. Instagram account Aussie Influencer Opinions posted to Instagram Stories, claiming at the time the handsome fella is called Hugo. 'He's a consultant in Melbourne at a prestigious firm that only recruits the smartest cookies,' they claimed. Hugo is said to have been quietly dating Olivia for several months following her split from model Morgan Waterhouse after seven months.

Aussie Model Laura Dundovic Reveals Her Biggest Beauty Hacks
When it comes to makeup and skincare advice, it's hard to go past a woman who was not only crowned Miss Universe Australia in 2008 but also went on to place in the top 10 of the global competition. You might recognise Laura Dundovic from the first season of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here or maybe you're one of the 160,000-plus followers she's accumulated across social media. In any case, Laura Dundovic is a household name and here she shares her secrets to achieving that Miss Universe glow - including the $3 beauty essential she can't live without. WHAT'S IN YOUR MAKEUP BAG? 'I travel so much and my makeup bags are always a mess. These are completely washable so I literally get home, wipe it down and any loose makeup comes right off. It's wonderful.' 'Brushes are so important. I bought the entire Tanielle Jai brush set. I love supporting Australian companies when I can and these are incredible.' 'I love a YSL moment. If you want to have a really killer night-time lash, this should be your go-to.' Yves Saint Laurent Lash Clash Mascara, $70.00 at Myer 'The most important part of the face for me is your brows. The Brow Freeze gel is like a brow lamination in a bottle.' 'I love the Armani Prisma Glass, it keeps your lips nice and nourished.' 'I finally got my hands on the new Rare Beauty contour and they're just so easy to apply. You only need the tiniest bit and the pigment is incredible.' 'My secret weapon for any type of makeup … Benetint. It lasts so long, a bit on the lips and then a bit over your cheeks, I just love it.' 'Another great secret to making sure that you look good in photos is powder. If you're not powdering your T-Zone and under the eyes, you can sometimes look a bit shiny. Without a doubt Charlotte Tilbury is the best.' 'Bronzer wise, I always love a bit of I$land Ting from Fenty Beauty' WHAT PRODUCTS ARE IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE? 'I always start off with my Alastin Restorative Eye Complex.' 'Next up I use the Immerse Serum, which is just a really, really strong hyaluronic acid. And the trick is to pop it on when your skin is still a bit wet so that it pulls in the moisture with it.' 'Then I use the Alastin Skincare Restorative Skin Complex. It has peptides in it, which is so important for helping to repair your skin and keeping us looking as youthful as we can for as long as possible.' 'I use James Cosmetics under eye masks before every photo shoot.' WHAT PRODUCTS ARE YOU USING IN YOUR HAIR? 'I keep Dyson's Chitosan Post Style Serum with me because anytime that I've gone out and my hair just feels like it's gotten a bit fluffy or a bit affected by the humidity, I pop a little bit of this in my hair.' 'The Dyson Corrale. I love that it's a cordless straightener, it's just such an easy way to make sure that my hair looks great on the go.' Dyson Corrale™ straightener, $699 at Dyson WHAT'S YOUR BEST UNSEXY BEAUTY HACK? 'I actually swear by this, I think that I came up with mouth taping. I taught myself at a young age to sleep with my mouth closed [with sticky tape] and now it's everywhere. So I probably should have copyrighted the sticky tape on the mouth back then.' WHAT'S YOUR SIGNATURE SCENT? 'Prada. I fell in love with the bottle before I smelt it. It's very feminine for me, I usually like a little bit of a masculine perfume but I absolutely love this.' ONE ITEM YOU NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT? 'When I was at school I used to always have a comb in my blazer pocket and everyone used to say I was like a little old man … I still always have a comb in my handbag.' 'The other thing that I always, always have is a good hairspray … the crunchier the better.' 'I never spend too much money on my hairspray or my hair gel. I love V05. That one's great.' WHAT ESSENTIALS ARE IN YOUR CARRY-ON? 'I have this down to a fine art. It's not sexy, but I fly with a face mask on because I find if I wear no makeup and a face mask, my face is in great condition when I land.' Transformazing Sheet Mask, $11 at Go-To 'The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask … I swear by that.' 'And she's got to wear compression socks.'

Olivia Molly Rogers reveals she married her ex-husband Justin McKeone out of 'fear' - two years after they announced their split
Olivia Molly Rogers has revealed she married her ex-husband Justin McKeone in 2022 out of 'fear' of what others might think if she left him. The former Miss Universe Australia, 33, tied the knot with Justin at the Terindah Estate on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula after an engagement which lasted just over two years. But now the model has revealed in a column she penned for Mamamia on Wednesday 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 had would be a forever thing. However, about nine months in, I had this niggling feeling that we were not totally aligned,' she wrote. 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. 'The fear of judgement loomed large. I wanted to leave, but I worried about how my decision would be perceived by friends, family, acquaintances, and even strangers. Would they think I was failing?' she said. 'Would they question my choices? Would they think less of me as a person? These thoughts played on repeat in my mind, drowning out the voice that urged me to take a step back and reevaluate my situation.' However, Olivia said her feelings of doubt about their union only grew as time passed on, with feelings of anxiety 'gnawing at her daily'. She said she was so scared of 'what others would say' and 'of being alone' that she kept 'suppressing her true feelings' until she was left sobbing the night before her wedding. Nevertheless, that fear of judgement pushed her to go ahead with the wedding even though she knew she didn't want to marry Justin. Olivia said she finally decided to leave divorce Justin eight months into their marriage after confessing her feelings to her therapist. Olivia confirmed her split from finance expert Justin in October 2022. 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. But now the model has revealed in a column she penned for Mamamia on Wednesday that she knew the couple 'were not totally aligned' just nine months into their relationship in 2018 Olivia addressed her break-up in an Instagram post on October 3. 'After 4.5 years together, Justin and I have come to the difficult decision to separate as a couple,' she wrote. 'I do not wish to make any further statements about this in the near future. 'Please respect our decision and privacy at this time. Thank you for all your private DMs, kindness and support.' Olivia and Justin first got engaged in 2019, but their wedding was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The ceremony was eventually held at Terindah Estate on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula in February 2022.
