LOVE Island stars Olivia and Alex Bowen are expecting a second child.
The couple announced their happy news today on social media, alongside a video celebrating the pregnancy.
Olivia wrote alongside it: “A moment, a love – baby no2 – we’re waiting for you.”
Their famous pals rushed to congratulate them, with Fran Parman commenting: “So happy for you both!! Congratulations.”
Vicky Pattison remarked: “OMG…. the best news ever, Congratulations guys x”
While fellow Love Island star Rosie Williams wrote: “Ahh congratulations beautiful family.”
Olivia gave birth to their son Abel in June 2022 after announcing that they were to welcome their first child through a series of Polaroid photos of her baby bump on Instagram.
Earlier this month, Olivia revealed she and Alex were trying for another baby – two years after welcoming their son Abel.
She told OK: “Me and Al really do want another child, but I guess it’s just when it happens. We are trying for one, but I don’t want to put too much pressure on why it’s not happening or when it will.
“But I would love another one and Alex would as well, but two is the limit! It’s mad enough with one.”
In March she told how she feared having a second child after losing nearly a litre of blood during childbirth.
She told Closer: “Alex and I sometimes talk about having another child, but I’m honestly scared to do it again. I feel quite conflicted about birthing and how it will go.
“It’s a hard one and I feel for any woman that goes through it and it doesn’t go the way that she had hoped. Abel’s birth really affected Alex too – he’s such a sensitive soul – and he’s nervous about me going through that again.”
Olivia and Alex found love on the second season of Love Island when they came runners-up in 2016 and became the first couple from the hit reality TV show to get married when they tied the knot in 2018.
The Bowen’s exclusively told The Sun in November that they had recently bought two mansions and a plot of land in Spain.
