Olivia Attwood has opened up on her ‘hard’ marriage with Bradley Dack after months of speculation over their relationship.
The Loose Women star, 34, and footballer, 31, tied the knot in 2023 after Bradley popped the question in 2019.
The couple previously dated before she appeared on Love Island, where she partnered up with Chris Hughes.
After reconnecting with Bradley, their relationship has never been far from headlines, recently being hit with breakup rumours after Olivia was snapped with longtime friend Pete Wicks in Ibiza.
During an Instagram Q&A, Olivia was asked ‘Where the helly is Brad?’ referring to a perceived lack of posts of her husband on her social media pages.
In response, she said: ‘He’s alive I swear. Ten years of us. A lot has changed. Marriage is frikinnn hard (no one wants to say that part out loud) and I’m just not a faker.
‘I’m not posting pictures if they don’t reflect our reality. We are doing our thing and if there are any more updates you will be the first to know.’
She recently spoke to HELLO! magazine about the constant attention around her relationship, saying she welcomes the speculation.
‘Everyone has stuff going on behind the scenes and they don’t talk about it, so when it comes to your own relationship, you have to give yourself a break,’ she explained.
‘Also, weirder things happen in this industry than any other industry. I don’t condemn people for gossiping about my relationship because I love gossiping about other people.’
Speaking to the Daily Mail, she admitted that she and Bradley have experienced a rocky few months in their marriage.
‘Me and Brad never pretend to have a perfect relationship, we have been up, down, left, backwards, and the last six months have been really challenging for us,’ she said.
She explained that their work is keeping them both busy, and they are making sure they work on their marriage.
‘My work and his work take precedence over everything; we have to navigate our relationship all the time. It’s the boring side of being an adult in a long-term relationship, we constantly have to work at it, and that’s just the truth.
‘No one else really wants to say that part out loud, but it is difficult at times.’
Last month, Olivia revealed that she is set to sell her £1million mansion, which she purchased with Bradley in 2021.
The home featured on her TV series Olivia Meets Her Match, the reality series that followed her life with Bradley and their two rescue dogs, Lola and Stitch.
