TOWIE star Pete Wicks has candidly shared his struggles with finding lasting love, admitting he "can't settle down" despite his desire for a meaningful relationship.
In a recent interview, the 35-year-old reality TV personality opened up about his dating life, revealing that while he wants to find "the one," his lifestyle and past experiences have made it difficult.
"I'm not someone who can just settle," Pete confessed. "I've tried, but it never feels right. I want something real, but I also know myself well enough to admit that I struggle with commitment."
Wicks, who rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex, has been linked to several high-profile women over the years but has yet to find a lasting connection. He attributes this partly to his career and the pressures of public scrutiny.
Why Pete Struggles with Commitment
The TV star explained that his busy schedule and the nature of his work make it hard to maintain a stable relationship. "When you're constantly in the public eye, it adds another layer of complexity," he said.
He also admitted that past heartbreaks have left him cautious. "I've been hurt before, and it's made me wary. I don't want to rush into something just for the sake of it."
Fans React to Pete's Honesty
Many fans have praised Pete for his openness, with some relating to his struggles in modern dating. Social media has been flooded with supportive messages, with one fan tweeting, "Respect to Pete for keeping it real. Love shouldn't be rushed."
Others have speculated whether his on-off friendship with co-star Chloe Sims could turn romantic, but Pete has always maintained they are just close friends.
What's Next for Pete?
While love may not be on the immediate horizon, Pete is focusing on his career, including upcoming TV projects and his popular podcast. "I'm happy with where I am right now," he said. "If the right person comes along, great. If not, I'm not going to force it."
One thing's for sure—Pete Wicks isn't about to compromise his happiness for the sake of being in a relationship.
