Content creator Chris Olsen, 28, and boyfriend Harrison Dockerty have split up and it seems to have turned messy rather quickly.

Olsen revealed back in October that he had found a new man. However, he blurred his new boyfriend’s face to hide his identity. In December, on his 28th birthday, Olsen revealed the new beau was Dockerty, a London-based musician and real estate analyst.

Yesterday, Olsen posted a video to Instagram of himself at an Olivia Dean concert. A caption over the video read, “Just found out I was diabolically cheated on in the middle of an Olivia Dean concert btw.” 😰

A caption alongside the video added, “Concert was amazing at least!!”

How about we take this to the next level?

The video quickly racked up over 200k likes on Instagram and almost a million on TikTok.

One fan on TikTok said the news comes shortly after Olsen created a now-deleted post in honor of his boyfriend.

Olsen did not state that he was talking about Dockerty. However, given that the men also appear to have unfollowed each other on Instagram, many jumped to the same conclusion. Olsen and Dockerty have now split.

Dockerty responds

Dockerty confirmed this in a statement to People, saying, “Out of respect for Chris and the relationship we shared, I’d prefer to keep matters private. I don’t think it’s healthy or productive for personal relationship issues to be discussed publicly, and I hope we can both move forward with kindness and respect.”

This morning, Dockerty reiterated that point on an Instagram story.

“Following the recent posts on social media, and out of respect for Chris, I will not discuss the details publicly. Relationships are complex and rarely straightforward,” Dockerty said. “Publicly discussing personal relationships in a way that fuels online hate is neither healthy nor constructive for anyone involved.

“Even when a relationship ends, kindness, compassion, and respect for each other’s mental health should remain. Those are values worth upholding, especially by those who publicly advocate for them. I genuinely wish Chris nothing but the best moving forward.”

Olsen first found online fame with his former boyfriend, Ian Paget. In 2020, they began sharing viral content about their life together during lockdown. The pair confirmed their split in 2022, and Olsen said he planned to be more careful before discussing his love life in the future.

“If I were to get into another relationship, I would never, never share it in the way that we did,” Olsen said in 2023. “Relationships are complicated in general; having other opinions only really makes it harder.”
