Olivia Bowen has revealed she is hoping to expand her brood as she and husband Alex, who she met on Love Island, are trying for another baby. Speaking to OK! at London's Winter Wonderland during W7 Cosmetics' private Christmas Party, the mum-of-one, who shares son Abel with Alex, admits she was ensuring not to put too much pressure on having another, but is broody, she tells 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."

Seemingly relaxed about her hosting duties, she said: "I love hosting - it's my favourite thing. I've hosted Christmas for the last five years. I love cooking, so it's pretty exciting. We've got a girls' Christmas next week and I have all the girls over. We call it 'Girlsmas' and we have that every year. I always host that as well, so I just can't wait."
Detailing what her Christmas routine looks like, Olivia said: "We always get dressed up for Christmas. We have a slow morning, and then we'll all go upstairs, get dressed into full glam and then we'll have dinner. And then once everyone's had dinner, we get back into our pyjamas. I've treated myself and bought a really nice dress and everyone's got their little Christmas outfits - Abel and Alex have theirs. Then we just play games and chill in the evening."

Right now, he's obsessed with cushions and he makes dens out of cushions. So I'm like, 'What's the point in buying toys? ' The family gets him enough. A couple will be fine, but you can't tell grandparents - they don't listen! " Despite that, she'd love nothing more than some peace and pampering, with a good night's sleep or a spa day at the top of her wish list.
During the chat at W7's event, Olivia admitted she's a big fan of the cosmetic brand. "I worked with them when I first came out of Love Island [in 2016]. When I left the villa we connected straight away, and I was the face of their brand. So they're a company that I've worked with for years. And obviously we both went on to other things, and it's just nice to come because I always support them."
She also raves about her favourite products: "I love their setting spray, it's so good. And then their Cheeky Dip liquid blusher - I'm wearing that now."
