Olivia Attwood has dropped the biggest hint yet that she is dating Pete Wicks, as fans spotted his dog in one of her social media posts. The 35-year-old TV presenter shared a series of downcast pictures on Instagram, leading many to believe her rumoured relationship with the former TOWIE star was struggling. However, followers noticed Pete's dog, Rodney, in one of the images, sparking speculation that the pair are officially together.
Relationship Rumours Intensify
Olivia split from her husband, Bradley Dack, in January, citing infidelity as the reason for their separation. By March, she was photographed kissing Pete during a night out with friends. Neither has publicly addressed the rumours, but subtle hints have been circulating online. One fan commented on Olivia's post: "Yay to Rodney. Was hoping to spot some subtle Pete hints, and also wondered if the dogs are mates with each other! (So invested)." Another said: "Yes Rodney!!!!!!!" while a third wrote: "Hard launching Rodney!"
Olivia's Move to London
Following her split with Bradley, Olivia left the marital home and moved into a flat in London. Rumours of her close relationship with Pete have been circulating since last August when the pair were invited to join KISS in Ibiza. At the time, pictures emerged of Pete placing his hand on Olivia's thigh.
Addressing the Backlash
Olivia addressed the backlash from fans, saying: "Brad and I never pretend to have a perfect relationship; we have been up, down, left, backwards, and the last six months have been really challenging for us. My work and his work take precedence over everything; we have to navigate our relationship all the time." She added: "It's the boring side of being an adult in a long-term relationship; we constantly have to work at it, and that's just the truth."
The TV presenter continued: "There are ups and downs, there are things on his side which haven't been great, there's a mix of things. I have f***ed up and done stuff, Brad has f***ed up. It's really easy to pretend you're perfect, but no one is if you just dig a little deeper." Speaking about her estranged husband's reaction to the Ibiza trip, she said: "I get why Brad didn't like it, we were all on the boat, drinking and hugging each other and being best friends, it was family vibes. But if it was the other way around, of course I wouldn't like it either."
She concluded: "It was just a holiday to Ibiza, who knew it would cause so much trouble? I was there with KISS, which is why Pete was there and we were hosting for them."
