Olivia Attwood has finally broken her silence about her relationship with Pete Wicks, putting an end to weeks of speculation after their increasingly public displays of affection and romantic getaways. The former Love Island star, 35, and the TOWIE personality, 37, have found themselves at the center of attention after being spotted sharing intimate moments during trips abroad, with fans eager to know the truth behind their connection.

The pair first sparked romance rumors earlier this year, shortly after Olivia’s split from former husband Bradley Dack. Their relationship quickly became a talking point, especially after they were seen enjoying a PDA-filled holiday in Ibiza, where they appeared comfortable and affectionate together. Now, Olivia has given fans a glimpse into their romance, revealing that Pete has undergone a surprising transformation when it comes to showing his feelings.
According to Olivia, the man known for his tough exterior and reputation as a self-proclaimed “bad boy” has become much softer than people might expect. She jokingly admitted that Pete has “gone soft” after he surprised her with a huge bouquet of red roses while she was away filming in Ibiza.
The sweet gesture came to light during an episode of Pete’s podcast Staying Relevant, where his co-host Sam Thompson was joined by brothers Ryan, Adam, and Scott Thomas. Pete was absent from the episode because he was away on holiday, but the conversation quickly turned toward his relationship with Olivia when Ryan revealed a message he had received from her.
Ryan explained that before appearing on the podcast, he had reached out to Olivia to ask whether she had any interesting stories or gossip about Pete that could be discussed on the show. Instead of sharing embarrassing details, Olivia gave listeners an unexpected insight into Pete’s romantic side.
She reportedly told Ryan that Pete had sent her 100 red roses to her filming set in Ibiza, adding that he had clearly changed because “he’s gone soft.” The revelation left Sam Thompson visibly surprised, especially because Pete has long been known for his cheeky personality and his reluctance to openly express his emotions.
Olivia had previously shared the romantic gesture on social media, showing off the large bouquet Pete sent while she was away for an extended period filming her reality show Bad Boyfriends. At the time, she also revealed that Pete included a thoughtful message explaining that he wanted to make her feel better after she suffered from a bad hangover following a night out on the island.

The confession came shortly after Olivia addressed the controversial photos of herself and Pete that had previously caused speculation about their relationship. The images showed the pair looking close and comfortable together on a yacht during an Ibiza trip connected with KISS. At the time, the pictures attracted major attention because Olivia was still married to footballer Bradley Dack, although the couple later separated in January.
Speaking on her show Olivia’s House, Olivia directly addressed the yacht images and explained that although she appeared close to Pete in the photos, nothing romantic happened at that moment. She clarified that the situation had been misunderstood and that the pictures did not represent what many people assumed.
Pete later opened up about their relationship after the pair enjoyed another holiday together in St Tropez. During the getaway, they were photographed sharing passionate kisses by the pool at the celebrity-favorite Nikki Beach club, fueling further speculation that their friendship had developed into something much deeper.
When Pete discussed the holiday on Staying Relevant, he admitted that he had genuinely enjoyed the experience and described it as a chance to escape from everyday life. He explained that he had rarely taken proper vacations in the past because he believed they were unnecessary, but the trip changed his perspective.
Pete joked that he had discovered a new version of himself, saying that he was finally embracing “holiday mode.” He described relaxing by the pool, drinking coffee, getting massages, and simply enjoying time away from his usual routine. Although he avoided directly answering questions about his romantic moments with Olivia, his comments suggested that the trip had been meaningful for him.
The relationship comes after Olivia’s difficult separation from Bradley Dack, whom she had been with for nearly a decade. Despite their high-profile ITV wedding, the pair never legally registered their marriage. Following their split, Olivia spoke openly about the breakdown of the relationship, claiming that Bradley had repeatedly lied and cheated during their time together.

She admitted that she had stood by him for years because she loved him and believed in the person she hoped he could become. Olivia said she had tried to support him, cover for him, and encourage him to change, but eventually reached a point where she could no longer continue.
The reality star revealed that the final decision to leave came after she was confronted with more allegations about Bradley’s behavior. She explained that although the situation was painful and humiliating, she chose to move forward and focus on rebuilding her life.
Now, Olivia appears to be entering a new chapter with Pete, and her latest comments suggest that their relationship has become more serious than many expected. While Pete was once known for avoiding emotional commitments, Olivia’s revelation about his romantic gestures shows a very different side of him — one that fans rarely get to see.
