She captioned the post: “You are everything.”

Former Love Island cast members from various series, including Katie Salmon, Sam Bird, and Chloe Crowhurst, also sent their wishes.
They got married in September 2018 and are one of the rare couples of the show remaining together.
Olivia posted on Instagram on New Year’s Day to share the news she was hoping for. Here’s a Polaroid photo of her husband kissing a baby bump, a one-sea with the word Baby Bowen, a scan photo, and a photo of a couple holding a pair. Of baby boots.
The photo was accompanied by a white knit bootee.
She captioned the post: “Happy New … Baby Bowen”.
