TV personality Pete Wicks has made his relationship with Olivia Attwood official on Instagram, ending months of intense media speculation and secret dates. The couple took the plunge and "hard launched" their romance on social media following a getaway to Ibiza.
Podcast Clash Before the Launch
Just hours before the big reveal, TV presenter and former Love Island star Olivia had declared on her Olivia's House podcast that she had no intention of being the first to "hard launch" their relationship, insisting she doesn't send the first morning text or make the first bold move online. Pete, 37, from Essex, was clearly paying attention, as he rose to the challenge by sharing a string of loved-up snaps from their recent holiday together.
The former TOWIE star captioned the sun-soaked pictures: "I guess someone has to go first... IBIZA," alongside a black heart emoji.
Olivia's Swift Response
Olivia, 35, from London, was swift to respond in the comments, writing: "Oh so you DO listen to my podcast.."
Fans of the pair were equally vocal, with many saying the same thing – that the couple looked blissfully happy and that they'd been eagerly awaiting the announcement.
One follower wrote: "I mean if ever there are two people meant to be together it's you two. You both got there in the end."
Another gushed: "Never saw a more suited couple, just gorgeous together! Wishing you both a life of happiness."
A third added: "I've said for years you are the perfect match for each other! Dream team."
A fourth exclaimed: "We've waited long enough for this."
Celebrity Pals Weigh In
The couple's famous pals were equally quick to respond, with Pete's 'Staying Relevant' podcast co-host Sam Thompson enthusiastically writing: "Never thought I'd see the day YOU hard launch! ! Couldn't be happier for you brother."
Pete's long-standing friend Vicky Pattison quipped: "Haha ooh the hard launch, here we go."
Fellow Love Island alumna Olivia Bowen also declared she was "obsessed".
Timeline of Their Romance
Pete and Olivia, who co-host a show on KISS FM radio, are reported to have started dating in February 2026, with their romance blossoming shortly after Olivia announced her separation from footballer husband Bradley Dack in January 2026.
The couple were recently spotted soaking up the sun in Ibiza, where Pete joined Olivia on location while she filmed her TV series, Bad Boyfriends — even sending 100 red roses to her set as a surprise gesture.
