This week, it's a slightly unusual episode as Olivia speaks to listeners about how coronavirus has impacted their love lives.Living in a national shutdown means that most of us are completely house-bound, rendering our romantic lives somewhat obsolete. Or does it?We hear from Candice, whose new relationship is flourishing on Face Time and Harriet, who has moved in with someone she has just started seeing.There are less-than-ideal scenarios, too, like Ciara, who explains how she has had to continue living in a house with her ex-boyfriend due to the shutdown...If you have an interesting story to share about how the pandemic has affected your love life, please do get in touch via Instagram @millennial_love.If you're a new listener please remember to subscribe and leave us a comment, preferably a nice one!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/millenniallove.
