Love Island UK alum Olivia Bowen shares pregnancy update from babymoon with Alex

Olivia Bowen shared pictures of herself sitting on the edge of a hot tub on Thursday, July 3 via Instagram story. The former Love Island UK contestant appeared at ease as she soaked her feet in the water and cocked her head toward the sun. Alex joined her, resting his head against hers, and she finished her look with dark sunglasses.

A video of the pair embracing on a sun bed in identical pink robes while watching the sunset was among the further glimpses they provided from their vacation. During their quiet time together before the birth of their daughter, Alex planted a kiss on Olivia's head.

As she neared 34 weeks pregnant, Olivia shared in June 2025:

“She’s so high now right up in my lungs,” describing her current stage of pregnancy via an Instagram post.

Earlier in May, Olivia also posted photos from their trip to Spain, which she described as their:

“Last one before baby girl comes.” She wrote, “Next we’ll return as a family of four to our own villa out here – never felt so lucky.”

In another image, Olivia wore a blue bralette that sat above her bump. While in another post regarding the same trip, she layered a black and white mesh sundress over her swimwear while holding Abel on a lounger.

Olivia Bowen's pregnancy journey

Olivia Bowen first announced her pregnancy in February. In a candid moment on Loose Women, she revealed that the pregnancy originally involved twins but that she lost one due to vanishing twin syndrome.

She and Alex learned they were expecting twins at a six-week scan before Christmas. Olivia told the panel on Loose Women:

“As soon as we sat down, I saw two babies and not one. I was floored by that.” She added, “I have twins in my family and as soon as we found out I was already nervous as we’ve not had a great history of twins in our family.”

She later broke down in tears on the show, stating:

“One of the babies just basically didn’t have a heartbeat but I’d had no symptoms, no pain, no bleeding to tell me that was what we were walking into.”

Olivia recounted the loss with emotion, explaining that at 14 weeks, the baby had completely "absorbed" into her body — something she described as "tremendously sad." Still, she expressed gratitude for the experience, saying she felt fortunate to have had the moment of possibly carrying twins, even if it was brief. Alex also spoke about the emotional impact, saying:

“I built this scenario up in my mind. I was thinking of the future.”

He noted that he was looking forward to expanding their family, especially since he grew up as an only child without contact with his father.
