Olivia Attwood played a role in her boyfriend Pete Wicks' decision to publicly announce their relationship on Instagram, marking a significant step after months of speculation. Wicks, who had previously maintained a policy against posting girlfriends on social media, shared a series of photos of the couple during a trip to Ibiza.
Attwood, 35, had indicated that she would not be the first to post about their relationship, stating on her podcast, "Olivia's House," that she was protecting herself in the early stages. She hinted that Wicks, 37, should be the one to make the public declaration. Hours after Attwood's podcast statement, Wicks posted the photos, captioned, "I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA."
This public confirmation followed a period where the couple had been seen together on multiple occasions. Around the time of the social media announcement, Wicks also sent Attwood 100 red roses to her hotel room while she was recovering from a night out in Ibiza. Attwood described the gesture and her hesitation to be the first to post in detail on her podcast, noting the increased public interest.
Rumors of Attwood and Wicks' romance began last summer after they were photographed together on a yacht. At the time, Attwood was still married to Bradley Dack, from whom she split in January. She addressed the earlier yacht photos on her podcast, clarifying that while she was leaning on Wicks, "nothing happened." Wicks himself had spoken about their relationship for the first time the week prior, following a holiday together in St. Tropez where they were seen sharing kisses by the pool. His best friend, Sam Thompson, commented on Wicks' Instagram post, expressing surprise and happiness at his decision to make their relationship public.
