Olivia Attwood, who found fame on Love Island in 2017, has been happily married to her footballer husband Bradley Dack since 2023, but the pair have clashed over their baby plans

Olivia Attwood’s baby plan update as she admits she will have to be ‘more present’

Reality star Olivia Attwood has spoken about her plans for a family, after being forced to constantly dodge questions about when she’ll have a baby.

The 33-year-old, who found fame on Love Island in 2017, married footballer Bradley Dack in 2023. The couple are happily married, but have faced constant scrutiny on their plans to expand their family with a child.

Despite Olivia’s previous confession that Bradley, 31, would have a baby “tomorrow”, the pair have no plans in the near future to try for a child. The I’m A Celeb star recently hit out at the hundreds of questions she receives asking her if she’s going to have a baby.

After an Instagram Q&A, she told fans she found some fans’ interest in when she will want a baby “a bit boring”, admitting she hasn’t ever “yearned” for motherhood. She said her focus is “100 percent” on her career and marriage.

And now, speaking to the Mail about her and Bradley’s plans for the future, she told the paper: “I feel like we are in that point in our life where Bradley and I are both prioritising our careers and relationships, we are going after our dreams and goals in our separate fields and then the time we spend together is really precious.

“There will be different eras in our life and like when we start a family I will automatically, naturally have to be more present, as will he.” Olivia said she doesn’t “fear” motherhood, but is “enjoying what we have right now”.

It’s not the first time she’s spoken about her future plans with Gillingham midfielder Bradley, with the podcast host candidly admitting she would be a “f***ing nightmare Dance Mom” if the time ever came. Speaking to her husband on her So Wrong It’s Right show, she said: “I wouldn’t say it’s a bone of contention – I know Brad would be an amazing Dad and balance out the type A f***ing nightmare Dance Mom that I’m probably going to be.

“I’m going to sacrifice my body, mental health, my house and I don’t want to take any time off work because my ambitious personality is so… I don’t want a day off to actually have the baby. I’m a monster!” But Olivia did admit the couple are not “getting any younger” and would like to start their own family.

She added: “Brad wants to have a baby tomorrow and I’m thinking of all the what-ifs. But I feel like if it happened I’d be happy, people have this misconception that I hate children but that’s not true at all – I wouldn’t mind owning one myself one day! – but I’m just scared.”

Speaking on Loose Women last year, Olivia told her co-stars that they had clashed over the topic, telling the panel: “I’m sitting here listening to you girls talking and I’m thinking I’m going to be a geriatric mother, as they call it.”
