Rodrigo responded to Love’s Instagram add-on, commenting: “Love you and live through this so much,” but did not address further controversy.
“Olivia – it’s fine,” Love replied, before reiterating that she would check her email for an apology. “My favorite flower shop is Notting Hill London! Dm me for deets! I look forward to reading your notes!”
