TikTok is, without a doubt, one of the most popular apps at the moment. The world's youth have really taken to TikTok, a platform where influencers create videos daily for social media and streaming platforms. One of its more famous creators is Olivia Ponton.
2020 has been the year of the split for Tiktokers, and one of the most famous and debated breakups was the relationship between Olivia Ponton and Kio Cyr. It's been a rocky road with many surprising twists and turns, but what's fact and what's fiction? Let's find out.
Olivia and Kio
In the beginning, they bonded over each other's teeth. After Kio followed Olivia on several social media platforms, she noticed him and his teeth. In an Instagram story reply, Olivia complimented Kio on a smile, and he returned the favor.
They talked online for quite a while before Kio flew out to Florida to meet Ponton for the first time. Like many people on TikTok, Olivia and Kio denied that they were a couple at first.
In February of 2020, Kio seemed to be visiting Olivia at her house in Florida. This was known because his caption said, "I'm in Florida, btw." The post was quickly followed by a cute video post from Olivia where she wrote, "guys, I found this super cute guy, someone helps me figure out who this is, PLEASE."
Who was the hottie? It was Kio, of course. The two proceeded to post a lot of videos together, looking very cozy and close. Then on March 1st, 2020, in a video with Josh Richards and Bryce Hall, Kio was asked if he had a girlfriend.
He just smiled and stayed quiet. To many people, that small smile was just as good as Kio admitting he and Olivia were a thing. The video was even called "Kio Cyr Girlfriend Confirmed?". A couple of days later, the couple posted a Q&A video together that ended up adding a lot of fuel to the fire.
The two continued to deny they were dating, but their body language flirting and winking seemed to say otherwise. The video was titled "I am dating a model???" It was posted to Kio's YouTube channel.
If Kio and Olivia were trying to put the rumors to rest, they did a terrible job because followers and fans were more convinced than ever that they were a couple. The icing on the cake was the end where they leaned in for a kiss, but like the rest of the video, that turned out to be a tease.
The screen went black right before Kio and Olivia made out. This was followed by a lot of social media flirting and hinting. There were dozens of more photos posted and videos documenting their romance throughout March, but April was when things became official.
The Breakup
Just as fast as you can say "TikTok," their relationship was done. In June, both Ponton and Cyr took to social media to update fans on their status. On Instagram, Olivia wrote, "I just did one of the hardest things I've ever had to do," and in another post, "I will always love you."
Kio also addressed the situation in what was starting to look like one of the sweetest breakups on record. On Twitter, he said, "You'll always have my heart. I wish you the best, angel". With all this love in the air, fans were completely confused about the cause of the split.
To help shed some light on the situation and get some support in a tough time, Kio created a TikTok live where he talked openly about his relationship and breakup with Olivia. His explanation had people throwing around words like "sweet" and "pure" because it was clear that he didn't come to start any drama or spread any hate.
It was pretty clear from the start that a lot of fans were siding with Kio. Most followers see him as sensitive and kind, so rumors started swirling that Olivia had used him for his popularity and then spit him out. Theories popped out left and right about how Ponton has used Kio, who's more popular, to gain fame and attention.
Many people thought Kio and Olivia were a couple that could pass the test, but there's been so much drama and backstabbing that Kio seems to be the one taking it the hardest.
New Rumored Boyfriend
Olivia and her rumored boyfriend, the 22 years old professional boxer Ryan Garcia, were seen together getting very close to each other at saddle ranch a few months ago. In March of last year, Ryan welcomed his baby daughter Catherine. Instagram influencer Andrea Celina was pregnant with his child. However, the boxer was accused of cheating on Celina with Malu Trevejo.
He has a young daughter, yet the rumors that he is dating Olivia made fans wonder if she would be a good stepmother. Olivia hasn't confirmed any official new boyfriend at the moment.
