Bradley Dack Spotted Without Wedding Ring Amid Olivia Attwood's New Romance
Footballer Bradley Dack cut a sombre figure as he was spotted leaving training in Gillingham, Kent on Monday, notably without his wedding ring. The 32-year-old athlete has reportedly vowed to take his estranged wife, Olivia Attwood, 34, 'to the cleaners' in their divorce proceedings. This development follows recent photographs obtained by The Sun showing Olivia locking lips with Pete Wicks, 37, at the Flute Bar in Soho, London on Friday night.
Public Embarrassment and Divorce Tensions
Sources close to the situation reveal that Bradley is 'livid and embarrassed' by Olivia's new 'passionate romance' with Pete Wicks, which has dashed any hopes of a possible reunion between the former couple. The marriage breakdown occurred in January, and Bradley's public display of moving on includes unfollowing Olivia on Instagram this Sunday, a move she reciprocated earlier this year.
A source stated, 'Bradley is livid, he's not surprised at all but is completely embarrassed and upset. He can't believe Olivia has moved on so publicly and they've not even signed the divorce papers.' The insider added that Bradley had suspected a connection between Olivia and Pete for the past year, though she consistently denied it.
Details of the New Romance
Olivia and Pete, who previously insisted they were just friends, are believed to have begun their fling at the end of February. An onlooker described their evening at the Flute Bar, where they partied for about three and a half hours with friends, kissing around 10pm to cheers from their group. Olivia reportedly screamed in delight and punched the air in celebration.
A friend of the couple commented, 'Their passionate romance only started in the last few weeks, since she has split from Bradley, there was no overlap.' Olivia's close friends are said to be pleased that Pete has provided support during this difficult time, helping her through the 'really horrible break-up.'
Background and Recent Events
Olivia split from Bradley in January after three years of marriage, with sources indicating the relationship ended due to a breach of trust. In recent weeks, Olivia and Pete have been seen together at various events, including the BRITs where they appeared cosy and left in a car together. Just a few weeks ago, they were spotted in London after Olivia's Garnier brand launch event.
This is not the first time Olivia and Pete have raised eyebrows; last August, photos showed them cosying up on a yacht in Ibiza, with Pete's hand on Olivia's thigh. At the time, Olivia admitted the images likely upset Bradley and described her marriage as a 'work in progress.'
Addressing the breakdown on social media, Olivia shared, 'I cry myself to sleep, then business as normal when the alarm goes off at 5am and it has been like that for a long time.' She expressed a desire for happiness for both herself and Bradley, acknowledging the challenges of moving forward alone.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Bradley Dack, Olivia Attwood, and Pete Wicks for further comment on the ongoing situation.
