Within minutes of Chris Olsen informing his 14 million TikTok followers of the end of his relationship with his boyfriend of eight months, real estate analyst and musician Harrison Dockerty, some of Olsen's millions of fans let Dockerty know exactly how they felt.
"Why did you cheat on Chris?" asked @its_rockstar on an old post from 2023. Another post of Dockerty's from last September now has this comment from an Instagram user named Janick: "HARRISON WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!! chris deserves way better."
On Thursday, Olsen shared a video with the caption: “Just found out I got diabolically cheated on in the middle of an Olivia Dean concert btw,” wrote Olsen, 28. Since the video showed him at that show, he added another caption: “Concert was amazing at least!!”
@chris amazing show though & thank u for the inviteee @Spotify
Dockerty responded to Olsen's video in a statement to People magazine, confirming that the pair have gone their separate ways.
“Out of respect for Chris and the relationship we shared, I’d prefer to keep matters private,” he said. “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.”
People reported that both Olsen and Dockerty have unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Olsen deleted videos he had posted of himself with Dockerty.
The TikTok star first started posting those videos about their new relationship in October, obscuring Dockerty's face for months. That changed on his 28th birthday, on Dec. 22, when he finally revealed Dockerty’s identity with the caption: "Finally found him."
Dockerty lives in London and graduated in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in geography and management from the University of St. Andrews, according to People. He served as the president of the university's Global Investment Group and head of marketing of the Investment Society on campus.
Dockerty now works as a real estate fund analyst at Knight Frank in London, according to his profile on LinkedIn.
Olsen went viral in 2020, as People reported, when he and his then-boyfriend Ian Paget started recording quarantine videos and sharing them on social media during the pandemic. They split in January 2022, and Olsen declared he would refrain from posting so much of his romantic life online going forward.
“If I were to get into another relationship, I would never, never share it in the way that we did,” Olsen told Paget in a 2023 video series, People reported. “Relationships are complicated in general; having other opinions only really makes it harder."
At the time, he wrote on TikTok: “I’m not tryna be a couple [account] again and for once I’m being more private & that’s nice. I knowww the censor is annoyingggg but I still want to make these kinds of vids bc I am vvvv happyyyyy.”
His more recent viral videos include Olsen's series showing him delivering coffee to celebrities, opening up about being targeted with revenge porn, and having what he called a “public breakdown” last year that caused him to question how he presented himself on the internet.
Olsen did not respond to Out's request for comment as of press time.
