LoveIsland favourite Olivia Bowen details first Christmas with her six month old son Abel
This Christmas is going to be a special one for Olivia and Alex Bowen. The former Love Island stars are celebrating their first festive season with their six-month-old son Abel and it’s safe to say they’re going all out.
"We’ve got him a jumperoo and lots of noisy, bright-coloured toys. It’s more about Abel this year so we’re going to tone down the presents for each other as we went a bit over the top with it before.” “This is the Christmas house!” says Alex. “We love hosting and it’s nice to have Abel’s first Christmas here.” “It’s a full house but that’s how I love it,” adds Olivia.
The couple, who are also in the process of extending their home and adding a games room and a soundproof studio for DJ Alex, tell us Abel’s first half-year has been “such a whirlwind”. "I drove 2mph the whole way home and I constantly watched him sleep, but as time goes on you get used to it and we’ve fallen into it naturally. He smiles at everyone and he has his own little personality now.
“I think I was so worried about my life changing and I thought I’d miss the person I was before, and I definitely mourned who I was,” she says. And something else that has also changed is Olivia and Alex’s relationship, which began during the second series of Love Island back in 2016 and saw them tie the knot in a ceremony exclusively covered by OK! in 2018.
“Alex would let me have a moment which I think really helped. A lot of the time it wasn’t about him and it wasn’t anything, my body was just going through something and he really understood that,” adds Olivia. “He was like, ‘How can you say that so casually? You struggled in pregnancy and you had a hard birth, who are you again?’ It’s really weird and I get such imposter syndrome sometimes as I don’t understand who this person is, as I was very vocal about the fact I wasn’t sure about being a mum.
But before thoughts do turn to number two, the couple have said they are considering getting therapy to process what happened during Abel’s birth in June. Alex adds, “You feel helpless throughout and then seeing Liv in pain and not really knowing what is going on is hard.
