Olivia Plathis opening up about the surprising TLC star who slid into her DMs — and how she responded.

On an episode ofThe Sarah Fraser Showon Oct. 1, host Sara Fraser asked the photographer, 26, if she had any fun celebrity encounters after her divorce fromEthan Plath. While she joked she’s too old forLeonardo DiCaprioto reach out (“I’m over 25,” she said), Olivia revealed that she did receive some messages from a fellow reality star.

“Let me let you guess — it’s from another show that I’m pretty sure you’ve covered, and a pretty, I would say a pretty problematic figure, that just loves to like get in relationships with girls abroad and send them lots of money,” Olivia teased.

She then revealed that the mystery man wasBig Edfrom the90 Day Fiancéfranchise.When Fraser questioned if she responded to the DMs, Olivia said she did, and described him as problematic because of hisdating historyandon-again, off-again relationshipwith Liz Woods.

“I did respond because he was just telling me all kinds of stuff,” she laughed. “I just said, ‘Yeah you like the view?’”

Olivia also opened up about the more serious things in her life, including explaining why her divorce needs to be revised after it was initially finalized in April 2024.

“So as the beginning of this season showed last year, I was trying to get divorced, I was trying to get Ethan to sign [the] paperwork. However, he didn’t want to fill out all of the paperwork,” she explained. “He didn’t want to fill out the financial part of the paperwork. So then I was like, ‘Well, if he’s not filling it out, I can’t fill it out.’ I’m not coming to court being like, ‘Yeah, I’m making all this money and he’s not making any money.’ We’re not playing this game.”

PEOPLE has reached out to a rep for Ethan for comment.

In a September episode ofWelcome to Plathville,Brendon introduced himself to viewers while he and Olivia were on a trip together in Sonoma, Calif.

“I’m very much a head-first kind of guy,” Brendan told the cameras. “If I like someone or if I like something, I want to dive head first into it. I feel like there’s not really another point to do anything else.”

Cameras then showed the couple kissing and saying “I love you” to one another.

“I just want to be able to grow old and sit on a park bench and stare out into the sun,” Brendan said. “Just be able to sit there and appreciate each other’s company. There’s no one like her, and I would never want anyone else.”
