Tiffany Alvord absolutely shines as Athena, married to Henry (Travis DesLaurier), a celebrated boxer. Nearing their third anniversary, Athena's heart is shattered when Henry publicly thanks his ex-girlfriend for his big win. That ex, Kate (played brilliantly by Skyla Lynne), becomes the ultimate home-wrecker - manipulative, obsessed, and deliciously cruel. Skyla brings a fierce energy to the role, at times over-the-top, but utterly convincing as a woman determined to destroy what's left of Athena and Henry's marriage.
As Henry's trust wavers between his ex and his wife, Athena finally walks away, returning home and unexpectedly reconnecting with Alex Reid (Myles Clohessy), a former Stanford classmate. Myles is magnetic here - tender, protective, and exuding effortless sex appeal. His deep, husky voice alone could melt hearts, but it's his genuine warmth and respect for Athena that make him the green-flag man every woman deserves.
Tiffany Alvord delivers her best work yet. Her portrayal of heartbreak, mistrust, and rediscovered love is so raw you can't help but ache for her. Travis DesLaurier is excellent as Henry - a man torn between guilt, nostalgia, and the painful realization of what he's lost. His emotional breakdown when he realizes Athena may be gone for good is phenomenal - a true standout moment that shows how much he's grown as an actor.
The chemistry among all four leads crackles, and the direction, lighting, and production are top-notch. From 99-Heartbreaks to Billionaire's First Love is beautifully crafted, emotionally charged, and one of the most compelling verticals of the year.
⭐ 10/10 - a rare perfect score from me. A total must-watch!
