Justin McKeone has spoken out after his ex-wife, Olivia Molly Rogers, opened up about the end of their marriage.
In a post shared to Instagram Stories on Monday, the head of the management firm insisted there was more to the story.
“A wise person once said never believe there is a side to a story,” the 34-year-old wrote alongside a photo of his dog.
“I respect the dignity of a broken marriage (more than) public speaking,” he continued.
‘My nearest and dearest know my side and that is all that matters to me. That’s all you’ll get from me.

He concluded: “Thank you for all the messages of support. I can honestly say that I have never been happier.”
Their shock split came after just eight months of marriage and was the talk of the Sydney social scene last year.
Olivia has broken her silence on why she ended things with ex-husband Justin this week.
The 30-year-old influencer told the uncut life podcast, the relationship made her ‘miserable’ and she made the mistake of thinking marriage would fix the problems they had, when in fact it only made things worse.
“A wise person once said: never believe there is a side to a story,” the 34-year-old wrote. “I respect the dignity of a broken marriage (more than) public speaking,” he continued.
She also admitted that the thought of getting pregnant with Justin’s baby ‘terrified’ her even though they underwent fertility treatments for 10 months.
There is something to be said for thinking that marriage will be a solution. She has made a commitment to me, so I thought things would get better,” she told hosts Laura Byrne and Brittany Hockley.
‘But whatever you think is going to change when you get married, it doesn’t. It won’t cure everything all of a sudden.
Olivia admitted that she had serious “misgivings” about marrying Justin before her big day, but got so caught up in planning the wedding that she didn’t know how to call it off.
“I felt like I had a lot to lose,” the former Miss Universe Australia said.
‘My nearest and dearest know my side and that is all that matters to me. That’s all you’ll ever get from me. Thanks for all the messages of support. I can honestly say that I have never been happier,’ she concluded.
Speaking of the problems in their relationship of four and a half years, he confessed that “there were a lot of big problems.”
‘When it comes to a healthy relationship, you can work as a team. But when the same things keep showing up over and over again, you’re whipping a dead horse,” Olivia said.
“I felt like I had nothing more to give.”
He then said a short marriage shouldn’t be seen as a “failure” but rather someone who bravely walks away because something “is really wrong.”
Olivia revealed that she had called her sister Eleanor the day she decided to leave Justin and told her, “I feel like an idiot because we haven’t been married very long.”
Eleanor then said, ‘You’re not a jerk; you are an optimist You have been trying this for five years, it is not just the period of a marriage.
The 30-year-old influencer told the Life Uncut podcast that the relationship made her “miserable” and that she made the mistake of thinking that marriage would fix the problems they had, when in fact it only made things worse.
Olivia confirmed her split from finance expert Justin in October last year, after just eight months of marriage.
The breakup rumors began to surface in September after fans noted that she had gone back to using her maiden name on Instagram and removed all photos from her wedding in February.
The former couple, who met in 2018, were last photographed together in August 2022 in a series of vacation snaps from their trip to New York City.
Olivia addressed her breakup in an Instagram post on October 3.
“After 4.5 years together, Justin and I have made the difficult decision to part ways as a couple,” she wrote.
‘I do not wish to make any further statements on this in the near future.
Please respect our decision and privacy at this time. Thank you for all your private DMs, kindness and support.’
