Bonnie Blue is currently in the process of divorcing her childhood sweetheart, but is still on good terms with her estranged husband – with him even appearing on her new Channel 4 show
Bonnie Blue’s husband Ollie discusses her career
Bonnie Blue’s estranged husband makes a brief appearance in the controversial documentary about his soon-to-be ex-wife. Oliver Davidson, the adult content creator’s childhood sweetheart, insists he is proud of his former partner and it’s even revealed he was the one that encouraged her to pursue a career in sex work.
The 25-year-old OnlyFans model, whose real name is Tia Billinger, achieved viral fame in 2024 after claiming that she had slept with more than 1,000 men in 12 hours.
Her methods of inviting non-professionals to create adult content with her for free sparked controversy, with critics accusing her of predatory behaviour towards young men and perpetuating misogynistic ideology.

The Channel 4 documentary 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, which premiered this evening, follows the sex worker ahead of her most famous stunt. In the divisive programme, we hear from Bonnie’s ex Oliver for the first time – and how he inspired her career.
“I met Ollie when I was like 14, 15,” Bonnie explains in the show. “We got married really young. Pretty, quite intimate wedding, nothing crazy, nothing over the top. Then we relocated to Australia shortly afterwards.
“Ollie was beyond supportive, he gave me the confidence to do OnlyFans. And it wasn’t because he wanted to pimp me out, he just wanted me to be happy and have control of my life. And obviously the money was good as well.”
Oliver himself gushes about Bonnie’s sex stunts with the public and says he’s proud of her. “She really connects with the fans,” he muses. “Most people, if they do porn, they seem out of reach. You’re never going to meet them.
“You’re never going to be able to film with them. Whereas Bonnie puts a location online, and then obviously her fans can actually film with her. It’s like a defining moment in porn, where she’s completely changed the game.”
In a new interview today, Bonnie shared exactly why things didn’t work between her and Oliver. She told the Daily Mail that they broke up some time before she moved back to the UK from Australia in 2024, and that Ollie returned before her.
“We loved each other, but we weren’t in love. So we separated, but we didn’t make it official,” she said. “Me doing what I’ve done recently had nothing to do with the relationship breakdown. But, of course, no one will believe me.”
The documentary about Bonnie sparked controversy when its commission was announced in May. Tim Hancock, commissioning editor for Channel 4, said at the time: “With incredible access to an unfolding story at the edges of modern morality, this documentary will take a clear-eyed look at a very contemporary phenomenon and will likely leave the audience questioning their own presumptions about one of this year’s most polarising figures.”
The Magnificent Pictures documentary is directed by Victoria Silver, who added: “Bonnie Blue refuses to conform to public opinion and lives life by her own rules.
“At a time when factual TV is awash with retrospective stories, I wanted to capture the energy of a live and evolving story, with a woman at the heart of it who’s living her life in such a bold way.”
Executive producer Mark Henderson said: “Bonnie Blue is a story for our times, touching on our attitudes to sex, money, success, porn, feminism and masculinity. Vic’s insightful film will make you question what you think about this fascinating and divisive character..”
