Pregnant Olivia Bowen reveals she’s already picked her unborn baby’s name
FORMER Love Island star Olivia Bowen has revealed she and her husband Alex have already picked out a name for their unborn baby.
The reality TV star – who rose to fame on the ITV2 dating show in 2016 – took to her Instagram stories for a pregnancy-related Q&A on Friday.
Olivia, 28, opened up to her social media fans about how she and Alex, 30, already had their heart set on potential names for their little one.
“Are you set on any names yet?” one keen fan had asked, just weeks after the star revealed her pregnancy with a sweet video on New Year’s Day.
Alongside a snap of herself cuddling up to Alex, with her bump on show, Olivia revealed that they had narrowed it down to three names already.
“Yes! We have a boys’ name which is actually what my mum was going to call my brother,” Olivia penned beside the sweet photo.
“Our girls name, we have two that we like that are very different. One is strong and modern and the other is traditional.”
It comes shortly after Olivia could be seen breaking down in tears in an emotional social media video as she announced her pregnancy to her family.
Paying tribute to their nearest and dearest, she wrote in a gushing post: “We are so unbelievably over flowing with love.
“It’s so hard to find the words to describe anything right now! We could not be more thankful, grateful & appreciative of every single one of your messages.

“I am reading through them all again wondering how we got so lucky to be so loved & cared for by so many people. It’s more than we could ever of expected.
“We managed to film so many of our friends & families reactions over time & every time I cried & felt so bloody happy to be able to share this news with our favourite people in the world.
“I cannot watch this without crying! My most emotional video ever, I had to share with you all tonight this part of the journey, it helps me show you how much this means to us & our loved ones.
“When I thought of telling our closest, it always made me well up, it was something I couldn’t wait to do, so having it all caught on camera for us to relive again & again is like an instant serotonin boost.”
Olivia described seeing her family’s faces lighting up as “magical” and said the couple were “buzzing” but “nervous” to become parents.
Alex and Olivia met on the 2016 series of Love Island, and finished in second place behind Cara and her now-husband Nathan Massey.
The couple married in September 2018 and have gone on to become one of the richest pairings from the show.
In June 2020 they exclusively told The Sun they had earned £4.5 million
since leaving the ITV2 reality show.
