Olivia, 34, is not yet ready to commit to having children, while footballer Brad, 31, has been eager to start a family for several years.
Friends of the couple claim their relationship is in a “really bad state” due to ongoing arguments about the future. However, they were spotted putting on a brave front last night during a double date with Love Island’s Georgia Harrison and Jack Stacey.
A source shared: “They’re at a crossroads. Brad wants children and is frustrated that Olivia won’t provide any clarity on when she will begin trying.

She reportedly felt frustrated by the backlash to her behavior while on holiday, but sources indicate she was seeking an escape from her relationship dilemma.
An insider mentioned: “Olivia acknowledges there is internal conflict and uncertainty about having children.

“She has stated that while she and Bradley would like a family, she’s apprehensive about what having a baby might entail.
“For instance, taking time off work and the impacts on her body and mental health.
“Olivia understands the sacrifices involved and hesitates to take time off work to have a baby due to her ambitious nature.
“She isn’t dismissing the idea of having children but believes that now is not the right time for her.”
Recently, Olivia consulted a psychic regarding her love life and admitted to finding marriage “chall
