EXCLUSIVE: Former Love Island star and doting mum Olivia Bowen couldn't be happier right now - but as she tells OK!, her initial experiences of motherhood were a far cry from where she is now
Olivia Bowen and her husband Alex met on Love Island eight years ago - and a hell of a lot has happened since then. They tied the knot, Olivia gave birth to the couple's first child Abel two years ago and now, they've moved into their dream new home. As Olivia, 30, admits to OK! in our exclusive chat, she never in her wildest dreams imagined that the hunk she fell for in the famous villa would become her husband in 2018 - and two years ago, also the best dad in the world.
“I really struggled to accept the fact that I was a mum at first, I just wasn’t ready to let go of the original Olivia. But then you have to realise that it’s a better version of yourself - and you’re still there in some ways", she shared. “I’ve always been someone who doesn’t like to ask for help, I always want to do things on my own, but since becoming a mum, I’ve learned to ask for help.
“If I was to have another baby, I think I’d elect for a C-section,” Olivia, 30, tells us. “I’m so scared to go through that again because I think I’m just going to have the worst anxiety about giving birth and I’m too scared to give birth again, in that way.
