Alex and Olivia Bowen famously began their romance during the second season of “Love Island UK,” which premiered in 2016. The couple, who wed in 2018, welcomed their first child, Abel in 2022. In February 2025, the Bowens announced Abel will soon be a big brother.
In an exclusive email interview with EntertainmentNOW, the Bowens opened up about baby number two and shared their secrets to a successful marriage. The couple also revealed if they would return to reality television, their travel plans, and how they got into house-flipping.
In the email interview, Alex and Olivia Bowen shared they are “so excited” that their family is expanding. The couple shared they are looking forward to experiencing “all those ‘firsts'” that come with having a baby. They also said the “idea of having two children running around fills [them] with so much happiness.”

“We know it’ll be a juggle at times, but we’re looking forward to the little moments—like seeing Abel interact with his new sibling, and watching them grow up together as best friends (hopefully!),” wrote the couple.
The Bowens also revealed that they are having a baby girl.
“We can’t wait to see Abel as a proud big brother to his baby sister,” said the couple.
According to Alex and Olivia Bowen, they have spoken to “Abel about being a big brother and he seems very interested by the idea of a baby in Mom’s tummy.”
“He sometimes tries to share his toys with the ‘baby,’ by patting the bump, which is heartwarming,” continued the former “Love Island UK” stars.
