Alex and Olivia Bowen are the Love Island OG’s we’ve been rooting for since day dot, coupling up in season two and staying strong ever since.
It looks as if 2022 will be an eventful year for the couple, who married in 2018 after two years together, with Olivia, 28, announcing that the pair were expecting a baby.
The pregnancy news has meant Olivia’s January birthday celebrations are set to be quieter this year than usual, but Alex is still going all out to make sure his wife still has a special day.
Sharing a collection of snaps of the pair together on his Instagram page, Alex wrote: “Happy birthday to the most amazing beautiful wife and mommy to be.
“Literally mean everything and more to me! I know that you can’t drink on your birthday so looks like it’s milk and snacks by the fire in Lake District for a few days! I love you.”
On New Year’s Day, Olivia took to Instagram to announce she was pregnant, sharing a post of baby booties and a onesie for their new arrival.
She also shared a selection of videos of her telling loved ones that she’s expecting.
“We are so unbelievably overflowing with love,” Olivia wrote. “It’s so hard to find the words to describe anything right now!
“We could not be more thankful, grateful and appreciative of every single one of your messages. I am reading through them all again and again wondering how we got so lucky to be so loved and cared for by so many people. It’s just so much more than we could ever of expected [sic].
“It was the most magical feeling seeing all of our most cherished faces light up at the news of our Baby Bowen.”
A range of the Bowen’s celebrity pals were quick to share their congratulations about the happy news.
Fellow Love Island alumna Shaughna Phillips wrote: “Yep I’m crying, Congratulations guys so happy for you.”
Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison added: “'I’m sobbing watching this mind... last thing I needed today pal!”
And former The Only Way is Essex star Samantha Faiers added: “Huge congratulations! How beautiful, happy new year.”
We’re so excited for Alex and Olivia!
