2 hours ago 4

Alex and Olivia Bowen are expecting their second child together.

The pair met on Love Island in 2016 and have gone from strength to strength ever since. They got married in 2018 and welcomed two-year-old son Abel in 2022.

However, Abel will soon have a sibling as they're getting ready to welcome their second child. Alex and Olivia took to Instagram on Thursday (February 6) with an adorable video to announce they are expecting once again.

The cute clip showed the moment the couple found out they were pregnant and snippets of their pregnancy journey so far. The caption read: "A moment, a love [white heart emoji] - baby no2 - we’re waiting for you."

One sweet moment showed proud parents Alex and Olivia celebrating with son Abel who was wearing a shirt that reads: "Big Brother 2025". The youngster kissed his mum's stomach as Olivia beamed with joy.

Olivia proudly displayed her blossoming baby bump in the heartwarming home video, which appeared to have been shot on a camcorder. The Love Island stars also shared snaps of her baby scan.

Olivia revealed she and Alex were trying for another baby earlier this month. 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." She admitted she was worried about having a second baby as she lost a litre of blood giving birth to Abel two years ago.

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."

The Love Island OGs have now launched their impressive property empire with four properties on their books. They recently bought two new homes to renovate and let out and a huge plot in Spain which they plan on turning into a house.
