Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack’s split was reportedly ‘the result of infidelity on his part’ as it emerges he’s rekindled with an ex-girlfriend.
Olivia’s separation from her footballer husband, whom she’d known for a decade, shocked fans in January,
Since then, it’s been reported that Olivia is in a ‘secret romance’ with Pete Wicks, a source close to the pair has revealed in the wake of their steamy kiss.
The 34-year-old presenter and 37-year-old podcaster Pete were pictured locking lips in a London restaurant recently, making it clear that they’ve taken their friendship to the next level.
Now, it’s been reported that Bradley, 32, is in the midst of his own steamy romance and has reunited with his ex-girlfriend, Emily Rose Moloney, whom he was said to have dated briefly before getting back with Olivia in 2017.
A source told The Sun: ‘After everything Bradley has done, Olivia’s friends can’t believe he is back with his ex all while he’s begging Olivia to take him back.
‘So here it is – Olivia was told he had cheated on her, so went through his phone and saw evidence that confirmed it.’
They continued: ‘She was trying to respect their ten-year relationship by staying quiet but her friends are bemused as to how Bradley is the one who caused all this, and Liv was still trying to protect him.’
The couple, who rekindled a past romance after Olivia’s appearance on Love Island in 2017, tied the knot in 2023.
But after ‘a really bad summer,’ Olivia and Bradley’s marriage fell apart – with sources citing ‘a breach of trust’ on his part as the news broke.
With Pete and Olivia’s romance now public, a source told Closer Magazine that Olivia has ‘always been drawn to Pete’ and ‘carried a torch for him.’
Of their hidden relationship, the publication’s insider added: ‘The secrecy has made it exciting, and they’ve spent a lot of time together – they love nights in watching movies together.’
Saying that Olivia and Pete ‘can’t keep their hands off each other,’ they went on to detail their dynamic.
‘Olivia is quite dramatic and intense, whereas Pete is very laid back, but somehow it works.’
According to The Sun, Pete and Olivia struck up their romance at the Brit Awards in February, where they later stayed at the same hotel together.
Another source clarified: ‘Their passionate romance only started in the last few weeks, since she has split from Bradley; there was no overlap.’
However, it seems Bradley is not taking the reports well.
A source previously said: ‘Bradley is livid, he’s not surprised at all but is completely embarrassed and upset. He can’t believe Olivia has moved on so publicly and they’ve not even signed the divorce papers’.
‘Bradley was hopeful for a reunion with Olivia but after this, he’s just livid and will take her to the cleaners.
They went on to tell The Sun: ‘He’s suspected things for the past year but she’s always denied it.’
Metro has contacted representatives for Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack for comment.
