Olivia Attwood has shared her first social media pictures with boyfriend Pete Wicks, making their relationship Instagram official a month after he confirmed it.
The Loose Women star posted a series of images on Wednesday evening (August 26) showing the couple embracing and kissing. In one photo, Olivia wraps her arms around Pete's neck as they cosy up, while another shows the former TOWIE star with his arms around her, kissing her cheek. A third image captures Pete playfully placing a hand on her neck.
Pete confirmed romance last month
The post comes after Pete, who co-hosts Kiss's radio show The Sunday Roast with Olivia, confirmed their relationship in July by sharing photos from their time in Ibiza. "I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA [black heart emoji]," he captioned the post, which featured pictures of the couple together on a yacht.
Olivia captioned her latest post: "Because I missed him..." The comments quickly filled with reactions, including from Love Island host Maya Jama, who wrote: "Things we love to see." Influencer Chessie King commented: "Giving us all what we want," while author Roxie Nafousi added: "INTERNET. BROKEN." Pete jokingly replied: "You barely realised I was gone for the first two f*cking weeks…."
Couple open up about relationship
The update follows Olivia's interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, in which she spoke about their relationship. "It's the easiest thing I've ever done. We're both in this era where we just want peace and to enjoy life," she said.
She added: "Personality wise, I've never had a straight man who can go toe-to-toe with me on banter – he is the only one who can keep up. We tick a lot of the boxes that are really important in adult relationships. Pete's a very rare person. He's very emotionally intelligent. It's quite remarkable."
The pair had been the subject of relationship rumours after images surfaced of them together earlier this year. The speculation grew after Olivia revealed her split from ex-partner Bradley Dack, a professional footballer she had an on-off relationship with for over a decade.
Olivia explained: "Once he knew I was separated, he made his feelings known, and it all happened quite quickly. Our friendship group is nauseated by us – we're one PDA away from being exiled. I'm like, 'Who are we?' We're bringing out a (new) side of each other." She said the pair "always got on so well" through years of friendship and "bickered like brother and sister."
