It’s been tough, but I’m so glad to hear Olivia Attwood saying she’s finally starting to forgive herself. After everything, and after officially ending her marriage to Bradley Dack, it feels like a really important step for her – and honestly, as a long-time follower, it’s a relief to see her focusing on her own healing.
The 34-year-old reality star recently revealed she’s feeling devastated after her breakup with the 32-year-old footballer, whom she claims repeatedly cheated on her during their decade-long relationship.
Olivia shared a quote to her Instagram Story, posting a clip that said: ‘I am in love with this sentence…’
‘Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach you.’
Olivia, currently working on a film in South Korea, revealed in January that she and Bradley have separated after almost three years of being married.
Last week, The Daily Mail reported that Olivia’s marriage to Bradley wasn’t officially registered. Sources say she decided not to legally formalize the marriage after discovering some dishonesty.
Even though ITV aired a ‘wedding special,’ the marriage hasn’t been officially registered with the General Register Office, which keeps records of all marriages and civil partnerships in England and Wales.
Yes, the whole show, commissioned by ITV for a ‘significant’ sum of cash, was a sham.
According to someone who knows Olivia, their relationship was never about love, but purely financial. It’s now questionable whether anything Olivia says is trustworthy, leaving people wondering what to believe.
Olivia’s fans will likely be upset to learn that, despite reports of a deal being made, she didn’t actually go through with the marriage.
‘You couldn’t make it up. What a sham, what a huge lie to tell your fans. What a joke.’
This follows Olivia sharing her feelings on her podcast, Olivia’s House, as she works through the end of her relationship.
Olivia mentioned while talking to TikTok personality Joe Baggs that she believes Chinese New Year has begun, and it’s the Year of the Horse.
‘I’ve left everything behind last year Jesus Christ I’ve got nothing left.’
The change from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Horse is believed to represent a transition from focusing on recovery and inner work to embracing a more active and vibrant life.
Just days after Olivia publicly discussed dishonesty, accusing Bradley of lying and cheating throughout their relationship, she’s now expressed feeling deeply foolish.
The TV star also said she didn’t intentionally mislead anyone about the fabricated wedding story, and she’s confirmed she’s now dating Pete Wicks.
Earlier in March, Olivia was seen kissing Pete, age 37, at a bar called Flute Bar in Soho, London. This came after she and Bradley had split up in January.
Olivia shared that she supported Brad for a decade, despite his repeated dishonesty and infidelity. She believes these actions ultimately led to their breakup.
Oh my god, I was completely head over heels for him. I just knew how amazing he could be, and I spent a decade trying to coax that out of him. I covered for him constantly – lied to everyone I knew, my family, my friends… I even arranged therapy, desperately hoping it would help. And every time, every single time he’d mess up, he’d beg for forgiveness, and I… I always believed him. I just wanted him to be his best self, and I thought I could fix things, you know?
I feel incredibly foolish, especially as I learn more details. I really didn’t want to have to share any of this, and the entire situation is deeply embarrassing for me.
Olivia discussed the point when she chose to end the relationship. She also reassured everyone that she still has a good working relationship with ITV, despite reports that the network was upset about the fabricated wedding story.
She explained that after a man confessed to spending another night with someone else – this time at a screening of her show – she knew she had to end the relationship. This happened in January and finally pushed her to leave.
‘I’m not losing my job, I’m not pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes. Yes I’m dating.
Even though I often spend nights crying, I still make myself get up every day to do the work I enjoy – filming shows, recording my podcast and radio program, shooting campaigns, and, in between it all, trying to heal and move forward.
Olivia became well-known after appearing on the reality TV show Love Island in 2017. She was dating Bradley at the time, but she decided to join the show when she found out he was being unfaithful.
Following a short-lived romance with Chris Hughes on television, the star got back together with Bradley in 2019.
ITV created the show Olivia Meets Her Match, documenting the couple’s relationship from their 2020 engagement through what appeared to be their actual wedding in 2023.
Last week, it came out that Olivia’s marriage wasn’t officially recorded, causing a shock. You can find all the details here.
After her breakup, the TV star turned to Pete, a former cast member of TOWIE, for support.
A friend of the couple confirmed that their relationship began recently, after the woman ended things with her ex, Bradley. They emphasized that there was no overlap between the two relationships, and that the kiss seen in recent photos reflects a new romance that’s only been developing for a few weeks.
Olivia’s friends are happy to see her doing better now that Pete has brought some joy back into her life. He’s been a great support for her, especially during a difficult period.
‘She has been in the depths of a really horrible break-up and Pete has helped her through it.’
Olivia sparked surprise when photos surfaced of her getting close with Pete during a lively trip to Ibiza last August.
Pictures revealed the former TOWIE cast member with his hand resting on Olivia’s thigh while they relaxed on a yacht in the sunshine.
She acknowledged then that she understood why the photos bothered her husband, who is a soccer player, and admitted their marriage required ongoing effort.
Bradley is reportedly back together with his former girlfriend, Emily Rose Moloney. Sources say Olivia wasn’t shocked to hear the news.
According to a source, Olivia’s friends are shocked that Bradley has returned to his former partner, especially since he’s also trying to reconcile with Olivia.
Olivia discovered her partner had been unfaithful. After being told about the cheating, she checked his phone and found proof.
They explained that Olivia was the one who decided to end things, because she’d previously worried about his faithfulness, and this wasn’t the first time she’d had those concerns.
They explained that she was remaining silent out of respect for their decade-long relationship. However, her friends couldn’t understand why Bradley was the one who started the problem, and Liv was still attempting to shield him from the consequences.
The Daily Mail has contacted Bradley’s representatives for comment.
