Summer House first introduced viewers to Danielle Olivera in season 2, but for many fans, they’re just starting to get to know the 32-year-old tech/finance professional. While the first four seasons of the series documented the weekend comings and goings of a group of friends in a Hamptons share house, season 5 captured the 24/7 lives of the housemates for six weeks straight. It was a change made necessary by the coronavirus pandemic, but it paid off, helping Summer House to deliver its best season ever.

'Summer House' Star Danielle Olivera and Boyfriend Robert Sieber Break Up After 2 Years Dating

This may be true, but to me it seemed like Danielle was already done with this conversation and wanted to get back to inflating Joe’s balloon even before Paige left, and then she saw that as her excuse to leave. The next morning, the two talk about how they go after boys and what Danielle meant by the conversation, and they’re on the same page. They both want what is best for Gabby, and Danielle finally understands that her way is not always the right way. However, at the party, it doesn’t go nearly as smoothly. “I think the reunion was hot at times, but a lot of things that needed to be said were said, and I think we've truly moved on from all of that,” Olivera says. Summer House fans never thought Danielle Olivera would be the one to activate best friend Lindsay Hubbard, but differing opinions about Hubbard’s relationship with Carl Radke caused the duo to end season 7 on separate pages.

"We talk, we kid about marriage, kids," she confesses, but with the addendum that she does not have a "Timeline 4 Life" written out, like Lindsay. Before the edit came the experience for Robert, and it was quite the experience. Within his first few minutes at the house, Danielle realized that her co-star Hannah Berner and Hannah’s visiting boyfriend, her now-fiancé Des Bishop, were christening multiple rooms of the house -- including castmates Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke's bathroom. "Everyone was like, 'She's thirsty, she's trying too hard,'" she continues. By November 2022, Danielle and Robert had broken up, citing their very separate schedules as a reason for their split. "Both of our careers and lives are stressful, [and] insane, and the relationship really took a hit," she told The Daily Dish at the time.

Some of those issues pop up in the final two episodes of season 5. "I will say, at this point, it is up to Hannah," she offers of where the group goes after season 5. "I'm still fully recovering from what happened," she discloses, calling the day "chaos," while promising host Andy Cohen left "no stone unturned." "I love Carl, so if we could do it all over again, it probably would have worked out."

Bravo fans know that the ice won't thaw for the best friends as seen in this season's trailer. Lindsay herself confirmed to PEOPLE at BravoCon 2022 in October that she and Danielle fell out. "But also you're like, the background. You're like the supporting character to her. That's how you are in your relationship," Amanda told Danielle.

Danielle promises the cast unpacked everything at the just-shot reunion in New York City. Making things even more complicated is the fact that, in season 4, Danielle wasn't a full-time house guest. She bunked with Lindsay Hubbard on much-needed party weekends. When Carl and Lindsay's engagement ended just three months before they were set to walk down the aisle last year, Danielle told Us Weekly in October 2023 that she took Lindsay's side, therefore severing her friendship with Carl. "People are like, 'Do you talk to Carl?' I'm like, 'No, absolutely not,'" Danielle said.

"I would never do that in a friendship," Danielle explained about the projection claims. "My relationship has nothing to do with me not wanting my best friend to have the happiest, most successful relationship." She’s so ready to tell other people how to live their lives. The alien party continues, and when it moves into the house, Danielle and Gabby sit on a couch together. Danielle immediately starts grilling her about her love life (or lack of it).

Danielle Olivera Gets Honest with Paige DeSorbo: “You Are Giving [Craig Conover] Nothing” - Bravo

Danielle Olivera Gets Honest with Paige DeSorbo: “You Are Giving [Craig Conover] Nothing”.

She shared insight about her staff during a March 2023 chat with The Daily Dish, just five months before the app's release. “I have an amazing team, but it’s a small team," Danielle noted at the time. "I’m looking to raise some capital so we can expand it and get it done a bit quicker […] we are starting this from scratch. Olivera says it will take "a lot of conversation, a lot of accountability and a promise for a little bit of change" to repair the friendship. "I'm not certain that will happen, but I'm hopeful," she says. So, the producers of Summer House gave Danielle the opportunity to come back for Season 4 while also allowing her the freedom to fulfill her obligations to her job. "What I love about my producers is that they know me and at the end of the day they want what's best for me, as well as, what's best for the show," Danielle said.

The rest of the episode is really only about Amanda and Larl, but not together. Back in the city, Amanda goes to Old Navy with Paige and Ciara, and this must be a paid excursion because there is no way these girls hit up the 34th Street Old Navy on the reg. Their whole conversation there, which starts with Amanda saying Danielle thinks she’s stupid, is them trying to hype Amanda up, tell her that she is a great designer, a great partner, and a great friend. It's hard because, even when partnering with 1800 Tequila, it's one of those things where ...

"And then there was a moment of us getting engaged — that was the straw that broke the camel's back." "I've never left our house feeling like I'm not sure what's going to happen between Lindsay and I, but I don't feel sorry about the way things went down," Danielle shared in her interview. "If anything, I feel the opposite. I'm upset with her and her behavior and how she's treating me and our friendship that has been what I thought sisterhood for many years." After the projection conversation, Danielle explained, "I had realized over the summer that our friendship was incredibly one-sided."

Annoyed, Danielle then tried to disengage from the conversation, speaking over Lindsay, "We'll talk about it another f---ing time then. Let's have a good time." As we know, Danielle’s summer weekends are typically spent in the Hamptons with her Summer House roommates. To get a new look inside the group’s vacation home (and hear Kyle Cooke and Mya Allen share some behind-the-scenes details from filming), check out the video above. The post Where Was Danielle Olivera During the Last Summer House Episode?

It was in Colorado that she met Below Deck Sailing Yacht deckhand and fellow Winter House cast member Alex Propson. They ended up making out in a hot tub during Season 3, Episode 2 and continued to flirt with each other throughout their stay. But, Danielle had a problem with Alex also flirting with her friends — like Jordan Emanuel — right in front of her."There's a boundary and you consistently crossed it," Danielle told Alex during the Winter House Season 3 reunion. "It's happening right in front of my face and it's a slap in my face." "Because at that point, it was … I met him July 9th and we were going to start filming 'Pandemic House' like maybe three weeks after that," Olivera told Yahoo's In The Know of Summer House's pandemic season. "We got the green light. And so I didn't want to put him through that. So I literally met him, I thought he was great, but I was like I can't, there's too much going on in my life, this is not the right time."

On her LinkedIn page, she describes herself as "a product ninja, currently in FinTech." She started her career at a company called BizFi, where she first worked as an underwriter before working her way up to product manager, per Bustle. The other crazy Ciara thing I noticed has to do with her manager, Derek. Then West allows Derek to give his wiener a little tap and, oh, man, now I’m even more jealous. There is something I have not given Ciara enough credit for this summer, and that is that her room has been much cleaner. This was the first episode that I noticed what a mess it is, and we are well past the halfway mark of the season.

"I kind of distanced myself just to give them space to be in a relationship," Olivera, 34, tells PEOPLE. "And then [I] was chatting with Lindsay and we were great going in. I was actually so excited to be in the same house so that now we can kind of rebuild and get back to where we were. That didn't end up happening." When Danielle told her besties Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke, they were very supportive of the arrangement, as were Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, and Luke Gulbranson in the comments to this post on Instagram.
