Olivia Attwood has broken her silence on her marriage split from footballer Bradley Dack in an emotional social media statement that appears to hint at when the couple went their separate ways.
Emotional Instagram Post Reveals Timeline
The Loose Women panelist, 34, shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram Stories that suggests the breakdown of her marriage to the Blackburn Rovers midfielder has been ongoing for some time rather than being a recent development.
In her vulnerable post, Olivia wrote: "I keep opening instagram to post but I don't know what to say or do ? lol Vulnerability is not my bag!!! Especially on social media, it feels very much like bleeding in shark infested waters."
She continued with what appears to be a significant timeline clue: "I cry myself to sleep, then business as normal when the alarm goes off at 5am and it has been like that for a long time. But also so much change in such a short amount of time (you know I hate that) (Taurus)."
Moving Forward Alone
The reality television star concluded her emotional message by revealing: "I never expected to be moving into this apartment alone. And I'm in over my depth for sure. I want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us. & anyone else who needs to read this. Normal programming and chatting will resume asap. Ps thank you, I feel your love immensely."
Physical Signs of the Separation
Since news of the split emerged, Olivia has been spotted without her wedding ring, while Bradley continues to wear his marriage band. The footballer still follows his estranged wife on social media and has been observed liking all her recent posts, though Olivia has unfollowed him on Instagram.
A source close to the situation told The Sun: "The reason he's been liking all her Instagram posts and keeping his ring on is that he really wants Olivia back. He loves her and has always been head over heels for her."
The insider added that Bradley reportedly wants to "move past all of this" and "get back together" with the former Love Island contestant.
Previous Marriage Struggles
Last year, Olivia had already opened up about challenges in their marriage, admitting that both partners had made mistakes. She confessed at the time: "There are ups and downs, there are things on his side which haven't been great, there's a mix of things. I have f***ed up and done stuff, Brad has f***ed up."
She added honestly: "At the end of the day marriage is really f***ing hard. The rumour mill was in full swing. We really weren't getting on very well."
Irreparable Breach of Trust
Another source speaking to MailOnline suggested the marriage is now "over for good" following what they described as a "recent breach of trust" from Bradley's side that came as "a complete shock to Olivia."
The insider explained: "After meeting over a decade ago, Bradley's recent breach of trust, which came as a complete shock to Olivia, has led them to end their marriage."
Despite having "managed to overcome" prior problems between them, including previous "betrayals from Bradley's side," the couple's marriage of two and a half years appears to have reached its conclusion.
