Reality stars Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have made their relationship Instagram official, marking the first time Wicks has acknowledged his other half on social media. The announcement comes after months of speculation about their romance.
Intimate Snapshots from Ibiza
The former The Only Way Is Essex (Towie) star, 37, shared a series of intimate snaps alongside Attwood taken during a recent trip to Ibiza. The carousel of black and white images included a photo of the pair cuddling and sunbathing on a boat, with Attwood's face concealed from the camera, along with a picture of the two cozied up on a beach. The post also featured group shots with friends and ended with a video of Wicks backflipping off a boat into the sea.
Wicks' Playful Caption
Wicks told his 2.1 million followers, "I guess someone has to go first", referencing that he made their romance Instagram official before Attwood. Former Love Island star Attwood, 35, commented, "oh so you DO listen to my podcast", accompanied by an eyes emoji. She was referencing a recent episode of her Olivia's House podcast, where she discussed not wanting to "hard launch" a relationship first.
Celebrity Reactions
Other comments included Roxy Whitehall, who recently married comedian Jack Whitehall, and former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, who said, "awww bloody love this". Former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, close friend and podcast co-host of Wicks on Staying Relevant, wrote: "Never thought I'd see the day YOU hard launch!! Couldn't be happier for you brother."
Background on the Couple
Wicks and Attwood co-host Kiss radio show The Sunday Roast and have been subject to relationship rumours since images surfaced of them together earlier this year. Wicks is best known for starring in ITV's Towie, but left the show in 2022 and has since built a successful career as a TV personality, podcaster, and author. Attwood rose to fame after her stint on ITV's Love Island in 2017 and appeared on Towie as a regular cast member from 2019 to 2021. She has since featured in shows like The Price Of Perfection and Bad Boyfriends, and in 2023 joined Loose Women as a panellist. Attwood married footballer Bradley Dack in 2023, with their wedding covered in ITV series Olivia Marries Her Match. She confirmed their split in March this year.
