Olivia Attwood encouraged her boyfriend, Pete Wicks, to publicly acknowledge their relationship on Instagram, a move he made after months of speculation about their status. Wicks, 37, shared photos of the couple during a trip to Ibiza, marking his first time publicly posting a relationship online.
Attwood, 35, had previously indicated that she would not be the first to post about their relationship, stating she was protecting herself in the early stages. The couple had been seen together on multiple occasions following Attwood's split from Bradley Dack earlier in the year.
Around the time of the Instagram post, Wicks sent Attwood 100 red roses to her hotel room. Attwood discussed the burgeoning relationship on her podcast, Olivia's House, hinting that Wicks should be the one to make the first public social media declaration. She mentioned having "a person" but preferred to keep things private for the moment, comparing her approach to not sending the first "good morning" text.
Wicks confirmed the "hard launch" with a post captioned, "I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA." Pete's friend Sam Thompson commented on the post, expressing surprise and happiness for Wicks.
The couple reportedly began dating in February after Attwood's split from her husband. Rumors of their romance first surfaced last summer after they were photographed together on a yacht trip, at a time when Attwood was still married to Dack.
Attwood addressed the earlier yacht pictures on her podcast, clarifying that while she was leaning on Wicks, "nothing happened." Wicks had previously spoken about their relationship for the first time following a holiday together in St. Tropez, where they were seen kissing at Nikki Beach club.
