Olivia Bowen

Olivia Bowen, formerly known as Olivia Buckland, is an English reality television personality who was born on January 3, 1994. She first gained public recognition in 2016 as a contestant on the second series of the reality dating program Love Island, finishing the competition as runner-up alongside Alex Bowen.

Following her breakthrough on television, Bowen expanded her broadcasting career through several television appearances. In 2017, following her engagement, she was featured on an episode of the reality series Say Yes to the Dress. Beginning in July 2017, she secured a temporary role on the morning magazine show This Morning to handle maternity cover for Ferne McCann. During that summer, she presented various lifestyle features, acted as a dedicated Love Island correspondent alongside Chloe Crowhurst, and hosted the Friday entertainment news segment in place of Rylan Clark-Neal.

Beyond her television presenting roles, Bowen entered the commercial fashion industry and continued documenting her personal life on screen. She introduced her own customized clothing collection through a partnership with the retail brand MissPap in 2017. Her relationship with Alex Bowen remained a focus of her public career, leading to the 2018 TLC television project Olivia and Alex Said Yes, which documented the events surrounding their wedding.

Bowen later established a professional presence in the interior decor sector. Her interest in home styling developed during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, during which she successfully completed a formal training course in interior design. This career direction was further motivated by inquiries from social media followers seeking recommendations based on decorative projects she completed within her own home. In 2026, she launched a specialized application called Interior Design Clinic, which enables users to submit room descriptions, receive custom-generated interior layouts, and buy the incorporated decorative products.

In her personal life, Bowen married Alex Bowen in Essex on September 15, 2018. The couple has two children: a son born in June 2022 and a daughter born in August 2025. Following the birth of her son, Bowen openly addressed her postpartum fitness recovery. In February 2025, coverage in People Magazine detailed her experience with vanishing twin syndrome, a pregnancy complication resulting in the loss of a twin in the womb.
