Wicks, 37, shared romantic black-and-white photographs taken in Ibiza, where Attwood, 35, was filming the upcoming season of her reality show Bad Boyfriends.
Speaking on his Staying Relevant podcast, Wicks addressed the social media announcement alongside his co-host Sam Thompson.
"The thought process was, 'What would Liv like?' We'd spoken about it and I thought, 'Ah f**k it', you know.
Let's go and do it," Wicks said.
"Obviously the first photo had to be of me and Liv, and all I really cared about was that I didn't embarrass her."
The media personality clarified that the background audio for the post was automatically selected by the platform rather than curated personally.
"I would love to take full credit for [the music], but it was suggested by Instagram. But yeah, just simple.
Just, 'There we go'. Now it's out it's fine, we're good," Wicks said.
Bradley Dack's Response
Following the public post, Dack, 32, shared a video featuring the song Cariad by The Royston Club, a track focused on heartbreak and lost love.
