Pete Wicks is reportedly 'smitten' after sharing a kiss with Olivia Attwood, but close friends and family are concerned the former TOWIE star could break her heart. The pair, who have been close for years, were photographed kissing at Flute, a rooftop bar in London's Soho, confirming long-held rumours of a romantic relationship.
Olivia's loved ones are on high alert, with a source claiming: 'Friends and family are very concerned about Pete. He's got issues with commitment, so that is a worry for Olivia. Friends – and her mum in particular – are very worried, as while Pete is very charming, Liv has been through a lot.' Olivia's ex-husband, Bradley Dack, is said to be 'embarrassed' by her moving on so publicly.
The pair first met in 2017 at a Specsavers Awards event, shortly after Olivia's stint on Love Island. She was impressed by Pete's wit, later saying: 'I didn't realise how funny Pete was. We had the same sense of humour, so we hit it off really quickly.' They grew closer when Olivia briefly joined TOWIE, and rumours intensified last summer after they were pictured together on a yacht in Ibiza.
Olivia married Bradley Dack in June 2023, but the marriage ended in January 2025 due to a 'breach of trust'. Reports have suggested Bradley may have cheated with ex-girlfriend Emily Rose Moloney, though Emily has denied this on TikTok, calling the narrative 'wild and damaging'.
Pete's history of commitment issues has raised concerns. He has been linked to several women, including TOWIE co-stars Jess Wright, Chloe Sims, and Ella Rae Wise, as well as Megan McKenna, with whom he had a turbulent relationship. In 2024, Maura Higgins hinted he had cheated on her, a claim he denied. Pete has admitted to 'hurting a lot of people' in the past, saying: 'I was seeing multiple people. Because I was a bit of a boy.'
