Olivia Attwood And Bradley Dack End Marriage After Trust Breach

Olivia Attwood, the prominent ITV presenter and former Love Island star, has separated from her husband, footballer Bradley Dack, after two years of marriage. The split, reported on January 24, 2026, comes after what sources describe as a “breach of trust” on Bradley’s side—a revelation that has left Olivia “heartbroken,” according to The Sun and Daily Mail. The couple, who married in June 2023 following a decade-long, on-and-off romance, had weathered a “really bad summer” in 2025, but ultimately found their relationship irreparably damaged by recent events.

The news has sent ripples through both the entertainment and sports worlds, as Olivia and Bradley’s relationship has played out in the public eye for years. Their lives have been intertwined since meeting more than a decade ago, even before Olivia’s breakout appearance on Love Island in 2017. The pair initially dated prior to her reality TV stint, reunited in 2018, and became engaged the following year. Their lavish wedding, reportedly costing £200,000 with £30,000 spent on Olivia’s dress, was the subject of a special on ITV’s Olivia Marries Her Match.

The couple’s split was confirmed by multiple sources, though both Olivia and Bradley have chosen not to address the matter publicly. As one insider told The Sun, “Olivia and Bradley are taking time apart due to a breach in trust on Bradley’s side. They won’t address this publicly but friends and family are aware.” The source added, “Separating has never been an option up until now. Olivia is heartbroken. Olivia and Bradley met over a decade ago and their lives and families are so intertwined—which has made the decision to split even more devastating.”

Rumors about the state of their marriage had been swirling for months. In the summer of 2025, Olivia was photographed getting close to her friend Pete Wicks while partying in Ibiza—a moment that reportedly caused tension between the couple. Olivia later admitted that the period was “a really bad summer,” acknowledging on her podcast Olivia’s House, “At the end of the day marriage is really fking hard. The rumour mill was in full swing. We really weren’t getting on very well.” She went on to say, “There’s no secret we had... I’d say we had a really bad summer. It’s no secret we had a bad summer and I think that there was stuff going on on different sides and marriage is really fking hard.”

Olivia has always been candid about the challenges in their relationship. In another episode of her podcast, she reflected, “The whole concept of marriage and long-term relationships, it is actually so unnatural in the way that the person that you are when you meet is not the person that I am today. And the same with him. You’re always kind of re-getting to know each other and kind of learning how to navigate your relationship in this new stage you’re in.” She also confessed that her initial decision to join Love Island in 2017 was, at least in part, a response to Bradley’s earlier infidelity.

The couple’s busy careers often kept them apart, adding further strain to their marriage. Olivia’s work as a television presenter, fronting shows such as Bad Boyfriends and Getting Filthy Rich, is largely based in London, while Bradley’s football commitments—most recently with League Two side Gillingham—required frequent travel and an intense training schedule. The hope that Bradley’s transfer from Sunderland to Gillingham in 2024 would allow the couple to spend more time together did not materialize as planned. In fact, Olivia often found herself alone in their South London apartment as their schedules rarely aligned.

At the end of 2025, the couple sold their £1 million mansion in Cheshire to move full-time to London, a decision Olivia described as “emotionally difficult” due to their attachment to the house. She explained to The Sun, “That’s our family home in Cheshire, but we’re not in it. So, we’ve been umming and ahh-ing, because we’re both kind of emotionally holding onto that house. We love it so much. It’s just that Cheshire doesn’t work for us anymore because we’re not there.”

Despite the mounting pressures, Olivia remained open with her fans about the reality of their relationship. In an Instagram Q&A, she responded to questions about Bradley’s absence from her social media, saying, “He’s alive I swear. 10 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.”

Just nine days before news of the split broke, Olivia and Bradley were seen together at the premiere of her ITV series Getting Filthy Rich. Yet, by New Year’s Eve 2025, Olivia was already hinting at marital difficulties, joking on Alan Carr’s podcast about her resolution to “be a better wife” in 2026, but admitting she didn’t see herself changing much. “I would like to be softer this year. If people could be less annoying in 2026, stop being stupid. I’d like to be a better wife but I just don’t see that happening. How could I be worse?” she quipped, adding, “My new year’s resolution... yeah I’d like to be softer. I was going to say I’d like to party less but I’ve changed my mind on that.”

Bradley, meanwhile, has kept a low profile regarding the split. On the very day reports emerged, he was out on the pitch, helping Gillingham to a 3-0 win at Harrogate—a stark reminder of how public and private lives can collide unexpectedly. Representatives for both Olivia and Bradley have declined to comment on the separation, leaving friends, family, and fans to piece together the story from the couple’s candid public statements and the timeline of recent events.

The end of Olivia and Bradley’s marriage marks the close of a chapter that many have followed since their earliest days together. With Olivia’s star continuing to rise on ITV and Bradley’s football career ongoing, both face new beginnings—apart, but forever linked by a decade of shared history and the lessons learned along the way.
