Reality television star Olivia Attwood and professional footballer Bradley Dack have reportedly ended their marriage after three years, with sources citing a significant breach of trust as the catalyst for their separation. The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish 2023 wedding filmed for an ITV series, are said to be taking time apart, leaving Olivia heartbroken by the circumstances.
Signs of Strain Emerged Months Ago
Insiders close to the pair suggest that the writing has been on the wall for their relationship for approximately the past year. Their union faced intense public scrutiny last summer when photographs surfaced of a bikini-clad Olivia Attwood appearing cosy with her close friend, former TOWIE star Pete Wicks, during a boisterous group holiday in Ibiza.
The images, which showed the pair snuggling on a boat, reportedly left Bradley Dack furious and sparked widespread fan speculation about the state of the marriage. Olivia later admitted the incident left her in the dog house with her husband.
Ibiza Getaway Fuelled Rumours
The Ibiza trip, which Olivia undertook with Pete Wicks and other friends connected to their Kiss FM radio show, became a major point of contention. Prior to departing, Olivia had teasingly suggested that going away together would cause chaos, and the pair deliberately made themselves uncontactable, not replying to messages.
The situation escalated when Bradley Dack's teammates at Gillingham FC allegedly shared the provocative holiday snaps in the team's WhatsApp group, leading to him being taunted about it during a match. A source explained that while the couple had an understanding about Olivia's party lifestyle, her public flaunting of flirtatious behaviour during the trip crossed a line and angered Bradley.
Olivia's Candid Admissions About Marital Struggles
In recent months, Olivia Attwood has been remarkably open about the challenges within her marriage. During an Instagram Q&A session, when asked about Bradley's noticeable absence from her social media, she responded frankly.
She confirmed he was alive but stated, 10 years of us. A lot has changed. Marriage is frikinnn hard (no one wants to say that part out loud) and I'm just not a faker. She emphasised her commitment to authenticity, refusing to post pictures that did not reflect their reality.
Passing Ships in the Night
Further insight came during an appearance on This Morning, where Olivia described the previous year of her marriage. When asked about a New Year's resolution to be a better wife, she clarified it was said in jest but acknowledged their hectic schedules had made them feel like ships in the night.
The couple's history is also marked by past heartbreak. Olivia has previously revealed that she originally joined the 2017 series of Love Island after discovering Bradley had cheated on her during their early relationship. She received an anonymous call from another woman claiming to be his girlfriend, an event that propelled her towards the show that launched her fame.
Separation Confirmed Amid Heartbreak
After months of mounting speculation from fans and observers, reports confirmed over the weekend that Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack have separated. A source told The Sun the split was due to a breach in trust on Bradley's side.
The source added that while the couple had navigated a rocky summer, separating had never been considered an option until this point. They described Olivia as heartbroken by the turn of events. Neither Olivia nor Bradley have made public statements, but their friends and family are reportedly aware of the situation.
Olivia is currently on a family holiday in Germany, where she is receiving support from relatives. Representatives for Bradley Dack have been contacted for comment, while Olivia's team has chosen not to respond publicly at this time.
