EXCLUSIVE: Love Island's Olivia Attwood and TOWIE's Pete Wicks are reportedly dating since March and are now happy to flaunt their Ibiza romance
Olivia Attwood couldn’t hide her joy last week as she and boyfriend Pete Wicks enjoyed a romantic break in Ibiza.
The reality stars, who have been dating since March, couldn’t keep their hands off each other at beachside restaurant Cala Gracioneta. At one point, cheeky Pete, 37, groped Olivia’s bum as they canoodled in front of fellow holidaymakers.
According to a source, Olivia, 35, has finally let her guard down and is happy to flaunt her new romance. The source even suggested moving in together could be on the cards for the couple, saying: “Olivia and Pete are having a summer of love."
“People never thought this relationship would work out, but it’s the real thing. Olivia wants it to be very public and to be seen. She’s never felt happier.”
The couple appeared to have started dressing alike in Ibiza, with Olivia channelling her inner rock chick in a fitted white T-shirt, ripped leather trousers and heavy eye make-up, while Pete showed off his tattoos in a black vest with shades.
In April, former Love Island star Olivia revealed she cried so much she nearly passed out following her break-up from her husband Bradley Dack. She tied the knot with the Gillingham FC player in 2023, but split in January, citing a “breach of trust”.
Pete, who co-hosts KISS FM’s Sunday Roast radio show with Olivia, soon became a shoulder to cry on and last week he certainly seemed to be taking her mind off her broken heart.
The source said, “Olivia is completely smitten with Pete and she really wants everyone to see it. They’ve got sexual chemistry and can’t keep their hands off each other. Pete is definitely helping her heal her heartbreak.”
Olivia seems far more relaxed about their relationship status being public than she has done previously. In a video clip of their Balearic getaway that she shared on Instagram, Pete can be seen watching on as her sister surprises her with an unexpected visit.
By contrast, when Olivia and Pete enjoyed a romantic break in St Tropez in April, the Bad Boyfriends host didn’t mention or picture the For Dogs’ Sake presenter on Instagram – although eagle-eyed fans spotted his glasses in a photo.
At the time, a source told new they didn’t want “all the media pressure and glare on them”.
Pete and Olivia first bonded nearly a decade ago after meeting at the 2017 Specsavers Awards in London. Fresh from her career-making stint on season three of Love Island, Olivia was bowled over by the Essex boy’s wit, later saying, “I didn’t realise how funny Pete was. I only really knew him from TOWIE, where that didn’t come across. We had the same sense of humour, so we hit it off really quickly.”
When Olivia briefly joined TOWIE in 2019, the pair got to know one another better, and last August the rumour mill went into overdrive after she was pictured in Pete’s arms on board a yacht in Ibiza.
Despite their suggestive body language, Olivia brushed off the gossip and she and Pete continued to co-host their KISS radio show as normal.
Back in March, just two months after her split from Bradley, she and Pete were snapped kissing in a dimly lit London bar. At the time, pals of Olivia were said to be fearful the ladies’ man might cause her further pain as Pete has had a string of high-profile romances and last year admitted on Paul Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast that he has “hurt a lot of people”.
As well as enjoying brief flings with Essex beauties Jess Wright, Chloe Sims and Ella Rae Wise, Pete had a turbulent romance with reality TV regular Megan McKenna, 33, which played out on TOWIE. The pair started dating in 2016, but their on-off relationship imploded after 18 months, with Pete confessing he’d been “messaging other women”.
More recently, he has been linked to Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer Jowita Przystal and former EastEnders actress Danielle Harold, while in 2024, Love Island star Maura Higgins hinted he had cheated on her – a claim Pete later denied – after they enjoyed a brief romance.
But it seems the self-styled bad boy could finally have turned a corner, thanks to Olivia. “They’re both in the showbiz industry and understand each other’s world,” our source said. “They laugh a lot together, they want to move in together and they both want a family one day. Olivia sees Pete as her one for keeps.”
