The couple met on Love Island in 2016, and got engaged shortly after, but said they were putting off starting a family due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Although the announcement that a baby boy has been welcomed into the Bowen family is wonderful news for all, Olivia told OK! she wants to keep things lowkey to begin with: "I really want to give our baby as much privacy in the first few months, but I know we're going to be the proudest parents and will want to share the next step of parenthood."
Love Island airs on ITV2 and is available via catch up on ITV Hub and Britbox.
