There are three daughters in the Maher family. Olivia is the oldest, followed by Ilona, and Adrianna is the youngest. Throughout Dancing With The Stars Season 33, fans frequently spotted the other Maher sisters in the audience ready to cheer on Ilona.

But what many fans might not realize is that Olivia Maher is famous in her own right.

In 2023, Olivia Maher went viral for her “Girl Dinner” trend on TikTok. “Girl Dinner” is essentially a snack plate for one person and many other women across the world found it incredibly relatable.

“A girl just came on here and said like in medieval times, peasants had to eat nothing but bread and cheese and how awful that was. She’s like that’s my ideal meal. This is my dinner. I call this girl dinner,” Olivia shared in the video.

Apart from being incredibly talented and successful, the Maher sisters enjoy making fans laugh. While flying to New York with her fellow DWTS finalists, Ilona Maher shared a photo revealing she spilled beer on herself, which sadly looked like a urine stain.

Meanwhile, Olivia had a blast attending her younger sister’s rehearsals. She even helped Alan and Ilona learn to focus on their routines by creating obnoxious distractions while they practiced.
