Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks’ close friends are affirming that their recent romantic involvement began following Olivia’s separation from her husband. Speculation arose after the Love Island star was spotted sharing a kiss with Pete, who is a popular figure on Kiss FM, at a cozy bar post her breakup with footballer Bradley Dack earlier this year.
Pete, aged 37, and Olivia, aged 34, have maintained a friendship for several years but recently transitioned into a deeper connection, evident from a public video showing them passionately kissing in a trendy London venue. Sources suggest that their romantic relationship kicked off during the BRIT Awards in Manchester on February 28, where they were rumored to have shared accommodation at the same hotel.
Following Olivia and Brad’s split due to a breach of trust, insiders claim that Olivia had been separated from the footballer for some time before embarking on a relationship with Pete. A trusted source disclosed to The Sun that their passionate involvement only blossomed recently, emphasizing that there was no overlap between Olivia’s previous relationship and her new bond with Pete.
Friends of Olivia expressed happiness that she has found solace and joy in Pete’s company during this challenging period post her breakup with Brad. Describing Olivia as emotionally fragile after her recent heartbreak, close acquaintances stated that Pete has been a supportive presence, offering comfort and understanding in her time of need.
The couple, known for their joint podcast “The Sunday Roast,” were observed spending time together at a bar in Soho, London, where they were seen affectionately interacting while sharing moments together. Their public display of affection has surprised many, with observers noting the unexpected turn from friendship to a romantic relationship.
The venue where Olivia and Pete were seen together is reportedly a favorite haunt of Pete, who has been previously captured engaging in romantic encounters there. Rumors suggest that the spark between Olivia and Pete ignited during the BRIT Awards event in Manchester, leading to them being spotted exiting the venue together. Photos from the night capture Pete carrying pizza boxes into their shared accommodation in the early hours of the morning.
The Mirror has reached out to representatives of Olivia and Pete for any official comments on the matter.
