Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen kicked off the new year by announcing the happy news they’re expecting their first child together.
In the photos, Alex, 30, could be seen kissing Olivia’s bump while the 27-year-old was seen beaming as she held up a pair of tiny booties in another snap.
They also took a photo of their ultrasound scan strip and pregnancy test on top of a personalised babygrow to announce the wonderful news.
Olivia also shared a photo of her and Alex cuddling in bed after announcing the news, captioning the snap: ‘Finally.’
The proud dad-to-be also thanked fans for their kind words, writing: ‘Thank you for all the messages. Starting off this year strong.’
Olivia and Alex had revealed at the start of 2021 that they were putting off starting a family due to the coronavirus pandemic.
She said during an Instagram Q&A in January last year: ‘We were thinking about it, but then things just kind of changed, especially with lockdown still happening and the world being so sort of unknown at the moment.’
She added: ‘I know what I’m like and I know I wouldn’t be good at being pregnant during lockdown, I don’t think.’
Olivia and Alex met on the second series of Love Island in 2016 and have been together ever since, getting married in 2018.
The pair also share a stunning home together, which they let fans get glimpses of on social media.
