Olivia Attwood Desires 'Love Bombing' in Future Romance After Marriage Breakdown
Reality television personality Olivia Attwood has openly declared her intention to seek a partner who will engage in 'love bombing' behaviors, expressing a craving for intense romantic obsession in her next relationship. This revelation comes in the wake of her recent separation from professional footballer Bradley Dack, marking a significant personal transition for the 34-year-old media figure.
Embracing Love Without Regret Despite Past Relationships
In a candid interview with Attitude magazine, Attwood reflected on her romantic history with remarkable transparency. "Do you know what? I love love and I actually, despite any of my relationships in the past, I've never regretted falling in love," she confessed. The television personality described romantic love as "one of the most unique and pure human experiences," arguing that "even if it's with a complete and utter trash bag – in that moment you felt something."
Attwood acknowledged that her therapist might disapprove of her current mindset, humorously noting "my therapist would be smashing his head into the screen right now." Nevertheless, she remained firm in her desire, stating unequivocally: "But I want obsession."
Seeking Intensity Over Indifference in Future Partnerships
The former Love Island contestant confirmed her separation from 32-year-old Bradley Dack in January and has since articulated specific expectations for her next romantic involvement. "I don't want someone who feels indifferent about me. Like, love bomb me up. I want the face tattoo on the second date. I want to feel all the feels," Attwood shared with characteristic boldness.
She has actively encouraged her followers to adopt a more spontaneous approach to dating, criticizing contemporary society's tendency to overanalyze relationships. "I think that society has made people talk so much about stuff all the time. We live online, we live on dating apps," she observed. Attwood advocated for more experiential romance, suggesting: "I think go out, have that holiday romance, have the stories, because at the end of the day, when we're on our deathbeds, that's all we're gonna have anyway."
Navigating Post-Separation Life Changes and Emotional Turmoil
Since her separation from Dack, Attwood has described her life as entering a "chaotic" phase. On Instagram, she provided followers with a glimpse into her current reality: "Thought I would just jump on, just say hello. It's been a minute. I'm still hanging in. I go to work. I unpack five million boxes. Sleep, repeat and live on coffee. That is basically my life and it's pretty chaotic still."
The television presenter has been photographed with close friend and radio co-host Pete Wicks, celebrating in London's Soho district until 3 a.m. on Valentine's Day. She marked the occasion independently with an upscale shopping excursion, captioning a social media story: "My first Valentines without a boyfriend since I was like 14 years old lol so I took myself shopping obviously."
Addressing Vulnerability and Maintaining Perspective
Despite her typically confident public persona, Attwood has acknowledged experiencing significant emotional challenges during this transitional period. She admitted that "vulnerability is not my bag," comparing personal revelations on social media to "bleeding in shark-infested waters." Nevertheless, she has chosen transparency, confessing to "crying myself to sleep" while navigating major life changes.
"I never expected to be moving into this apartment alone. And I'm in over my depth for sure," she wrote regarding her new London residence. Addressing the dissolution of her marriage directly, Attwood emphasized there remains no animosity toward Dack, despite circulating rumors suggesting their relationship ended due to a "breach of trust" on his part.
In a message of mutual goodwill, she penned: "I just want to be happy. I want Brad to be happy. Just one day at a time. For both of us." This balanced perspective demonstrates Attwood's commitment to processing her separation with maturity while simultaneously expressing unconventional desires for her romantic future.
