In a dramatic social media move, Olivia Attwood has unfollowed her husband, footballer Bradley Dack, on Instagram, amid widespread reports that the couple have split following a breach of trust. The Love Island star, 34, is said to be heartbroken after her marriage of two years to the 32-year-old Gillingham player fell apart.
Social Media Snub Signals Relationship Breakdown
Sources close to the couple reveal that while they weathered a "really bad summer" together, their relationship has been shattered by Bradley's actions, which are described as having "crossed the line." Olivia's decision to unfollow her husband on Instagram on Sunday is seen as a bold public statement, though Bradley continues to follow her account. A source told The Sun On Sunday: "Olivia and Bradley are taking time apart due to a breach in trust on Bradley's side. They won't address this publicly but friends and family are aware."
Devastation After a Decade-Long Romance
The insider added: "Separating has never been an option up until now. Olivia is heartbroken. Olivia and Bradley met over a decade ago and their lives and families are so intertwined — which has made the decision to split even more devastating." The couple's romance has been a rollercoaster; they initially dated before Olivia's 2017 Love Island stint, which she later admitted joining as revenge for his infidelity. They rekindled in 2018, got engaged in 2019, and tied the knot in 2023, even filming their wedding for an ITV2 reality series, Olivia Meets Her Match.
Lying Low Amidst the Turmoil
Olivia is currently lying low on holiday with her family in Germany, posting a "get ready with me" video from Hamburg where she remarked on the cold weather. This retreat follows a period of admitted strain in their marriage. Just over a week before the split reports emerged, Olivia appeared on This Morning and described her and Bradley as living "like passing ships in the night" due to their busy work schedules.
Recent Admissions of Marital Struggles
In a candid Instagram Q&A in November, Olivia responded to a fan asking about Bradley's absence from her social media, stating: "He's alive I swear. 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... I'm not posting pictures if they don't reflect our reality." She had also revealed in a New Year's Eve podcast that one of her resolutions was to be "a better wife," but joked, "I just don't see that happening."
Practical Changes and Public Appearances
The couple had recently sold their £1 million mansion in Cheshire to relocate full-time to their London apartment, a move Olivia explained was necessary as Cheshire "doesn't work for us anymore because we're not there." Just nine days before the split reports, they were pictured together at the premiere of Olivia's ITV series, Getting Filthy Rich. Meanwhile, Bradley was on the pitch for Gillingham in a 3-0 win at Harrogate hours before the claims surfaced.
Representatives Remain Silent
When contacted for comment, a representative for Olivia Attwood declined to speak on the matter. Daily Mail has also reached out to representatives for Bradley Dack. As the story develops, fans are left reflecting on the couple's tumultuous journey from early dating woes to a lavish wedding and now, an apparent separation rooted in trust issues.
