Pete Wicks was playfully teased by his best friend Sam Thompson over his rumored romance with Olivia Attwood during Monday's episode of their Staying Relevant podcast. The teasing came after the pair were seen in a heated exchange at Olivia's birthday party, which quickly turned into a kiss and make-up session.
The Podcast Exchange
On the podcast, Pete began recounting the evening, saying, 'Sam, Pippa and I were at a birthday party.' Sam interjected, noting, 'I love the way you're taking control of this one, Pete. Pete was there!' As Pete continued, Sam jumped in: 'I was there, Pete was there, Pippa was there, it was literally just us and our other halves,' before quickly correcting himself by adding, 'Mine and Pippa's I mean.' A stony-faced Pete glared at Sam, leading Sam to awkwardly ask, 'No?' to which Pete firmly replied, 'No.'
Romance Rumors
The longtime pals have been in the early stages of a romance since they were pictured kissing on a night out in March. Last week, Pete, 37, was seen at Olivia's 35th birthday party in London, with snaps showing the pair in a heated conversation outside the strip club Stringfellows. However, they quickly reconciled and were seen in better spirits as they said goodbye to Sam and his girlfriend Talitha Balinska.
Following the demise of Olivia's marriage to Bradley Dack, rumors of her dating Pete have intensified. On Sunday, Pete showed his appreciation for Olivia's latest sexy snaps from a brand trip to Miami by commenting with a simple black heart emoji. Fans were sent into a frenzy by this romantic gesture.
Earlier Developments
Olivia and Pete were first spotted enjoying a date at the Flute Bar in Soho, London in March, shortly after Olivia separated from Bradley Dack in January. They have since taken a trip to St Tropez together and continue to spark romance rumors with various meet-ups and flirty displays. Earlier this month, Olivia said she was 'feeling romantic' as she got a name tattooed on her arm, which turned out to be 'Savano'—likely her new dog's name, though fans joked she had misspelled Pete's name.
