Veronica made it clear that Olivia didn’t make a good first impression. “She didn’t even have two seconds to say hello,” Veronica claimed of her and Olivia’s interaction. “She just liked it, her shoulder bumped into me [in] Mean girls. I said, “Oh, okay. I think everything I heard could be true. ”
Veronica made her Welcome to Plathville debut during an episode of the show in August, after Micah, 23, teased their romance during the season premiere.
“I’ve never been the person who wanted to be in the spotlight,” Veronica said during her first confessional. “I liked sitting in the back of the room. I liked being the one who listened to everything and not being involved in everything.”

Olivia and Ethan dated for almost a year before getting engaged in 2017. According to Olivia, that’s when her relationship with his family, and Kim in particular, changed.

We come in, [Kim] was waiting for us and she took my hand and looked at the ring. And the first thing she said was, ‘Oh, I want to trade rings with you.’ And I thought, ‘Okay, that’s really weird.’
