Olivia Attwood recently reflected on her relationship with her boyfriend Pete Wicks amid her separation from husband, Bradley Dack.
For those unaware, Attwood started dating her longtime friend Wicks earlier this year after she separated from her husband Dack, an English footballer by profession. She and Dack announced their split in January 2026 after a 10-year on-off relationship.
The 35-year-old English television personality, presenter, and model opened up about her romance with Wicks in an interview with The Times, saying, “It was unexpected, we went from platonic to non-platonic very quickly.”
Singing praises of her boyfriend, she quipped, “He’s extremely intelligent and compassionate and patient, all the things I desperately needed but didn’t know I needed.”
“Is something amazing happening while I’m still processing something awful? Yes. People are telling me to be single, to go on dates,’ Attwood quipped. “But if I shut things down with Pete I’d only be dating people to find the connection I have with him.”
The Only Way Is Essex star went on to admit that she is now looking forward to starting a family “with the right person,” however, her definition of family does not include children.
“I could also see it not being part of my story. I’m at peace with that. You can’t have everything. So many parts of my life have worked out so much better than I could ever imagine,” Olivia Attwood stated.
