Reality stars Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have made their relationship Instagram official.
It is the first time Wicks has acknowledged his other half on social media, following months of speculation of their romance.
The former The Only Way Is Essex (Towie) star, 37, shared a series of intimate snaps alongside Attwood which were taken on a recent trip to Ibiza together.
Wicks posted a snap of the pair cuddling and sunbathing on a boat in the sea, with Attwood’s face concealed from with camera, along with a photo of the two cozied up together on a beach.
The carousel of black and white images also featured many group shots with their friends, and ended with a video of Wicks backflipping off a boat and into the sea.
Wicks told his 2.1 million followers “I guess someone has to go first”, referencing the fact he made their romance Instagram official before Attwood.
Former Love Island star Attwood, 35, was among the thousands of commenters and wrote “oh so you DO listen to my podcast”, accompanied by an eyes emoji.
The TV personality is believed to be referencing a recent episode of her Olivia’s House podcast, in which she spoke about not “hard launching” a relationship first.
Others to comment include Roxy Whitehall, who recently tied the knot with comedian Jack Whitehall, and former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt who said “awww bloody love this”.
Former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, who is close friends with his Staying Relevant podcast co-host Wicks, wrote: “Never thought I’d see the day YOU hard launch!! Couldn’t be happier for you brother.”
Wicks and Attwood co-host Kiss radio show The Sunday Roast, and have been subject to relationship rumours since images surfaced of the two together earlier this year.
Wicks is best known for starring in ITV reality show The Only Way Is Essex (Towie), but left the show in 2022 and has since had a successful career as a TV personality, podcaster and author.
Attwood rose to fame after her stint on ITV dating show Love Island in 2017, and also appeared in Towie as a regular cast member from 2019 to 2021.
She has since featured in a string of ITV shows including The Price Of Perfection and Bad Boyfriends – and in 2023 she joined talk show Loose Women as a panellist.
The reality star tied the knot with footballer Bradley Dack in 2023, with their wedding covered in ITV series Olivia Marries Her Match.
Attwood confirmed that her and Dack had split in March this year.
