Some stories take longer to unfold because not every relationship can be mended overnight, and healing often takes time, patience, and genuine effort. The same holds true for Olivia Wellbourne and Liam Southward, who appeared in the first season of Netflix’s ‘Cheat: Unfinished Business.‘ Their journey proved that even a decade-long relationship filled with history and heartache can be saved when both people are willing to do the work. Through open communication, vulnerability, and commitment to the process, the couple showed that love, when nurtured, still has a fighting chance.
Liam and Olivia Felt in Sync After a Major Breakthrough During the Season
Olivia Wellbourne and Liam Southward arrived on the show at a pivotal moment in their relationship. Having first met at a club when Olivia was just 18, the two quickly formed a strong bond. Olivia described being instantly drawn to Liam, and the affection was clearly mutual. Despite initial doubts from others about the longevity of their romance, they defied expectations by staying together for ten years. However, their journey had not been without turbulence; they admitted to having an on-again, off-again dynamic and had been out of contact for four months since their most recent and seemingly final breakup. Coming on the show was a bold step to confront the unresolved issues that had driven them apart and to explore whether their love could be salvaged.
Liam admitted that early in their relationship, he had kissed another girl. It was an incident that left a lasting scar and was something the couple had never fully healed from. Olivia later shared that her best friend had heard rumors of Liam cheating again, this time backed by texts exchanged with another girl. When confronted, she even showed him a picture of the girl in question, but he denied knowing her. Despite his denial, Olivia couldn’t shake the gut feeling that something wasn’t right. Their trust had eroded so profoundly that it led to a standoff. Liam gave her an ultimatum and said that if they were to move forward, she’d need to let go of her pattern of doubt and fully trust him again.
However, when Olivia continued to question him, and with the support of thoughtful counseling sessions, Liam eventually admitted that he had, in fact, been faithful. He explained that he hadn’t asserted his truth earlier because he feared it would push Olivia further away. That breakthrough marked the beginning of their healing process. But just as things started to settle, another major obstacle arose when Olivia’s best friend came to visit. She confronted Liam harshly, insisting he hadn’t changed and would hurt Olivia again. The latter made the difficult choice to create some space between herself and her friend, deciding instead to invest fully in her relationship. Despite everything, the couple ended the season together, more aligned than they had been in years.
Liam and Olivia Appear to Still be in Love With Each Other
There was a natural compatibility between Olivia and Liam that consistently worked in their favor. Over the course of the season, they were able to engage in deep, honest conversations, confronting past wounds and rebuilding trust. Given the decade-long history they shared, it genuinely felt like they had what it takes to go the distance. The biggest hurdle Olivia faced was losing the support of close friends after deciding to give Liam another chance. However, with time, Liam appears to have won them over and earned their approval. Liam was also seen with celebratory items on Valentine’s Day, so it could be that he was making this day memorable for Olivia. Having weathered major highs and lows and both being rooted in Buckinghamshire, UK, they now seem well-positioned to rekindle their relationship without needing to alter their lives drastically.
Liam and Olivia Find Joy in Their Love For Travel
Olivia works as a store manager, a role that speaks to her sense of responsibility, leadership, and ability to manage people and day-to-day operations with ease. Liam, on the other hand, is a personal trainer. It is a job that not only reflects his commitment to health and wellness but also his passion for helping others reach their goals. Outside of work, the couple shares a mutual love for travel and new experiences. From what can be seen, they took a trip to Thailand together and could have also gone to Barcelona. With that kind of chemistry and curiosity, it wouldn’t be surprising if more travel plans were already in the works.
