Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks' Romance: A Calculated Beginning?
Insiders suggest the television personalities' relationship, initially presented as spontaneous, may have been strategically crafted.
The origins of the romance between television personalities Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks may not have been as serendipitous as initially presented, according to sources close to the couple. Insiders suggest that the timing of their public announcement as a presenting duo for Kiss FM last year, and the narrative surrounding their relationship, pointed towards a calculated strategy.
Pete Wicks himself has stated that his romance with Attwood "just happened." However, others close to the situation claim there was a degree of "smoke and mirrors" involved in the early stages of their public relationship. Rumors of their romance began to surface as early as August of last year, when the pair were photographed together on a yacht in Ibiza.
Wicks, known for his previous relationship with Irish model Maura Higgins for approximately six months between 2024 and 2025, has also spoken about his feelings for Attwood, describing her as his "best friend" and admitting he's "fallen in love for the first time."
The public announcement of their presenting partnership on Kiss FM, and the subsequent narrative, has led some to question the authenticity of its spontaneous beginnings, with insiders suggesting a more deliberate approach to crafting their public image as a couple.
