Pete Wicks, 37, has officially confirmed his relationship with Love Island star Olivia Attwood, 34, by sharing a series of intimate photographs on Instagram. The 'hard launch' came on Wednesday evening (July 16) with a black-and-white photo dump captioned: "I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA."
Cosy Holiday Snaps
The images, taken during a group holiday to the Spanish party island, show Wicks and Attwood cuddling on a boat, with one snap showing Wicks with his arm around Attwood and his head resting on hers. Other photos capture the couple beaming alongside friends during a boozy night out.
Celebrity Reactions
Among the well-wishers was Wicks' close friend Sam Thompson, who commented: "Never thought I’d see the day YOU hard launch!! Couldn’t be happier for you brother." Vicky Pattison added: "Hahahahah ooohhhh the hard launch here we goooooo." Attwood herself replied: "Oh so you DO listen to my podcast…."
Background of the Relationship
Wicks and Attwood have been friends for years, but romance rumours intensified after Attwood's separation from footballer Bradley Dack earlier this year. The former Love Island star and Dack split after ten years together and less than three years of marriage. Attwood publicly accused Dack of having "lied and cheated" multiple times.
It later emerged that their lavish June 2023 wedding, broadcast in the ITV special 'Olivia Marries Her Match', was never legally registered. The luxury London hotel where the ceremony took place did not have the proper marriage license, and the couple never completed the required paperwork at a registry office.
From Friends to Lovers
Shortly after the split, Wicks and Attwood confirmed they had transitioned from friends to lovers. They were first seen kissing outside the Brit Awards in February. Fans have jokingly hailed their relationship as the 'best worst-kept secret'.
