Olivia, 28, who rose to fame on the hit ITV2 dating show, tied the knot to Alex – who she met on the show – back in 2018.
The couple have been vocal about the fact they had been trying for a baby last year, and revealed they had finally fallen pregnant on New Year’s Day.
Olivia and Alex shared a series of Poloroid photographs to announce the news, including one of her blossoming bump and a babygro with ‘Baby Bowen’ on it.
The sweet post also included ultrasound pictures from early in Olivia’s pregnancy, as well as another snap of the pair holding up a pair of baby socks.
The couple have kept the arrival date of their baby disclosed – as Olivia explained they wanted to “keep it between them and their families for now”.
However, sharing a selfie of herself and her husband, the Love Island star did share that the baby was “due in the summer”.
“I’m just gonna answer my most asked question now, with how far along in pregnancy we are,” she wrote. “We are due in the summer.
“It’s just a personal choice we have decided to keep this between us & our families for now. I’m sure you guys understand & thank you. Summer baby!”

She posted a series of snaps of herself in a skintight jumpsuit as she posed against her luxury car, ready for the road trip.

Meanwhile, last night Olivia shared a sweet video of herself bursting into tears when she revealed her pregnancy news to her family and friends..
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 & again wondering how we got so lucky to be so loved & cared for by so many people. It’s just so much 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. We love them so much for keeping our secret for so long, I know it was difficult haha!
“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.”
