Reality television star Pete Wicks has confirmed he has no immediate plans to propose to partner Olivia Attwood. This comes despite his full commitment to their relationship and their recent move to make their romance official on social media.
Speaking on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden on September 28, 2026, the 37-year-old former TOWIE cast member addressed ongoing public speculation surrounding the couple’s relationship milestones.
Going Official and Taking Things Slow
During the radio interview, Amanda Holden noted that the couple formally documented their relationship online. This marked a rare public step for Wicks, who had previously avoided sharing romantic relationships on Instagram for roughly a decade.
When Jamie Theakston asked what this public step meant for the future-specifically whether a proposal was on the horizon-Wicks offered a clear and straightforward response: “Not any time soon.”
However, the reality star made it clear that his intentions are entirely serious. Describing Olivia as both his best friend and someone he is deeply attracted to, Wicks emphasized how their long-standing friendship naturally evolved into a romance after spending more time together away from public events.
“Liv and I have known each other for a long time, and yeah, like it’s amazing. She’s like my best friend, but also someone I really fancy,” Wicks shared during the broadcast. When asked if he felt ready for a deeper commitment, he confirmed, “I mean, I’ve gone all in.”
Domestic Life and Playful Nicknames
As their relationship progresses, Wicks is already fully immersed in the daily realities of life with Olivia. This includes pitching in with canine duties. The television personality revealed that his Rottweiler, Rodney, has bonded well with Olivia’s dogs, Stitch and Lola.
The couple also lightheartedly handles public banter regarding nicknames. Wicks recounted how a family holiday to Saint Tropez resulted in Olivia’s sister dubbing him “Pee Wee.” This moniker has stuck, much to his playful dismay. “It’s just not great for a nearly 40-year-old man to be called Pee-Wee, is it? Let’s be honest with you,” he joked on air.
Fans continue to track the couple’s every move following their high-profile pairing. Even so, Wicks and Attwood appear content focusing on their strong bond as best friends and partners without rushing down the aisle.
