Olivia Rogers has shared a new update about her split from husband Justin McKeone, saying she’s devastated that he has taken their beloved dog Ziggy.
While she stepped out on Friday night to share her mental health struggles at a Geelong Women’s Business Club event, McKeone was at Bar Bambi on Saturday night, captured in a picture with owner Nick Russian and two models, Brooke Bailey and Shivy Steindl.
“I just want to address one thing, as I know you all adore Ziggy and I keep getting asked about him,’’ Rogers posted on Sunday.
“He does not live with me anymore, Justin has taken him. I am devastated and I don’t want to talk about it further.”
Rogers went on to say she wants to move forward and maintain some privacy about the situation. She asked that people be respectful.
“I ask that you please don’t ask anymore questions about my current situation,’’ she wrote.
“I want to move forward with my life and continue to share things with you but some aspects are private and they will remain private.
“I understand you are curious — it’s human nature — but this is my life. Please be respectful.
“Thank you to those who continue to send support and love, it really does make my day brighter reading your kind messages.”
Rogers spoke on a panel at Friday night’s Geelong Women’s Business Club event at Melbourne Museum alongside Sophie Cachia, Davina Manuel (nee Rankine), Kieren Perkins, Nyadol Nyuon, Kellie Hush and Rhoda Roberts.
She told the Herald Sun last week that the scars are still raw following the recent separation from McKeone.
The former Miss Universe Australia confirmed the pair had split after tying the knot in February. They had been together for four and a half years.
“It’s been a few weeks now, it’s still very raw, there are a number of factors but the details are private and I just want to focus now on work and spending time with my family and friends,” Rogers said last Wednesday.
“This time has just shown me how many beautiful friends and family I have. Even from strangers the support has been really overwhelming and that’s been the nicest thing because you’re always so terrified of how things will unfold. There’s a lot of speculation but as I said the details are private and I’m just grateful for people being nice and respectful.”
