Olivia Attwood appeared to set aside her heartbreak over the weekend, stepping out for a lively night with friends in New York City. Meanwhile, back in the United Kingdom, her ex-husband Bradley Dack was seen without his wedding ring, sparking further speculation about their recent separation.
Olivia's Night Out in the Big Apple
The 34-year-old television presenter, who split from the 32-year-old footballer at the start of this year after three years of marriage, was supported by a group of her fellow Love Island alumni. Olivia flew her friends out to New York to celebrate her latest fashion collection with River Island, showcasing high spirits during the outing.
Stylish Ensembles and Celebratory Mood
Olivia displayed an effortlessly chic style, wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans under an edgy black leather jacket, complemented by cow-print mules. Her friend Samantha Kenny coordinated with a similar leather jacket and T-shirt combination, pairing it with trendy black capri pants.
Other attendees included Toni Laites, who flashed her toned tummy in a black crop-top, and Samie Elishi, who made a racy statement in a nearly unbuttoned blue satin shirt. Reports suggest Samie has recently split from Ciaran Davies just three weeks after leaving the Love Island All Stars series.
Social Media Revelations
The group appeared to have an exceptionally fun-filled evening, with Olivia taking to her Instagram the following day to humorously admit, 'We might have took things too far last night. Nothing a Hugo spritz and a bit of Brooklyn Bridge won't sort out.'
Bradley Dack's Somber Appearance
Across the Atlantic, Bradley Dack presented a much more dispirited figure as he left football training at League Two club Gillingham on Sunday morning. Sporting a denim jacket over a graphic T-shirt and hiding his face beneath a baseball cap, he kept his head down while departing. Notably, observers could see he was not wearing his wedding ring.
Instagram Drama and Speculation
This outing occurred just days after Bradley reportedly blocked Olivia's best friend Pete Wicks on Instagram, according to sources cited by The Sun. The social media move has added to the ongoing narrative surrounding their separation, with insiders previously claiming their relationship ended after Bradley 'breached her trust.'
Olivia's Bruise Concerns Clarified
Meanwhile, Olivia sparked concern among her followers when she shared a sponsored post on Instagram Stories showing slight bruising around her right eye. However, it was revealed that the advertisement had actually been filmed back in January, when the TV star had a painful-looking black eye while on holiday with her family in Germany.
Podcast Explanation
After fans expressed worries about potential injury, Olivia addressed the speculation on her Sunday Roast podcast with pal Pete Wicks. She clarified, 'Can I just say guys, never get worried about me having a black eye, because the other person would've come off worse. So that's the first thing.'
Olivia explained that the bruising resulted from a routine course of injectables, noting she bruises easily and a blood vessel had been caught during the procedure. She humorously acknowledged the poor timing, having traveled to Germany with the visible injury for her father's birthday celebration.
Navigating Life Changes
This week, Olivia announced she is temporarily stepping down from her other podcast, Olivia's House, to 'catch a breath and navigate big life changes.' The TV personality explained she needs some time away to manage various new projects while dealing with personal transitions.
Emotional Aftermath of the Split
Since her separation from Bradley in January, Olivia has thrown herself into work, admitting that keeping busy has helped distract her during this difficult period. She recently joked about carrying 'emotional baggage' following the marriage breakdown.
In a candid social media post addressing the separation, Olivia shared, '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.' She added, 'I want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time.'
Friendship Dynamics
Olivia's friendship with Pete Wicks has drawn particular attention since their split. The pair were pictured cosying up during a trip to Ibiza last August, and more recently were spotted leaving a Manchester hotel together the morning after the BRIT Awards last month. On their podcast, they have openly discussed their romantic lives, describing having 'similar' flirting styles.
As both Olivia and Bradley navigate their post-marriage lives separately, public interest continues to follow their movements, social media activity, and professional endeavors during this transitional period.
