Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks Romance Sparks Celebrity Buzz
Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks have ignited widespread speculation after being photographed sharing a passionate kiss in a dimly lit London bar. The intimate moment, captured on video, has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, with fans and media alike buzzing about the potential new couple.
Friends Confirm Timeline of Relationship
Insiders close to the pair have stepped forward to clarify the timeline of their romance, insisting it began only after Attwood's separation from her husband, footballer Bradley Dack. According to a friend speaking to The Sun, "Their passionate romance only started in the last few weeks, since she has split from Bradley, there was no overlap." This detail aims to dispel any rumours of infidelity, highlighting that Attwood was already separated when things turned romantic with Wicks.
The friend elaborated, revealing that Attwood's inner circle is supportive of the new development. "Olivia’s close friends know about this new development and are pleased Pete has put a smile back on her face. He has been a shoulder to cry on and there for Olivia during this really tough time," they said. They described Attwood as "hurt and vulnerable" following the breakup, noting that the pair are taking things slowly with "no label on it at the moment."
Key Moments in Their Budding Romance
The romance reportedly blossomed around the time of the BRIT Awards on February 28th in Manchester. Sources claim the duo attended the event separately but were later seen leaving an afterparty together. Photographs from a hotel lobby around 3am showed Wicks carrying two large pizza boxes, suggesting they spent time together in one of the rooms. This incident has fueled speculation that the awards night marked the beginning of their romantic involvement.
More recently, the pair were spotted at Flute, a candlelit bar in Soho, London, on a Friday night. Witnesses described a cosy scene with empty glasses on their table as they looked at Attwood's phone together before locking lips. This bar is noted as a favourite of Wicks, who has previously been photographed there with other celebrities like Maura Higgins.
Background on the Individuals Involved
Olivia Attwood, 34, rose to fame on Love Island and later married Bradley Dack, a footballer. Their marriage ended in January due to a 'breach of trust', according to friends, with Attwood reportedly separated for weeks before starting to date Wicks. Pete Wicks, 37, is known from The Only Way Is Essex and co-hosts the podcast The Sunday Roast with Attwood, where their friendship has now evolved into what friends call an "unexpected romance."
The couple's public appearances and the timing of their relationship have drawn significant media attention, with many outlets reporting on the kiss and the subsequent confirmations from insiders. As of now, representatives for both Attwood and Wicks have not provided official comments, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further developments.
