They recently became Mr and Mrs Bowen and enjoyed their AMAZING looking honeymoon, but now they are home, Alex Bowen and his new wife Olivia Bowen (née Buckland) have welcomed a new arrival into their home... an adorable French Bulldog puppy.

The loved-up pair, who tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Essex last month, showed off the cute little pup on their social media accounts, explaining they've decided to call him Winnie.

Speaking to New! Magazine before their honeymoon, Olivia said, "The day after we get back from the honeymoon we pick up our new puppy. We'll be new parents again."

Alex and Olivia already share a dog of the same breed called Reggie, with Olivia sharing a cute snap of the two dogs getting to know each other to her Instagram page.

Alex and Olivia met on Love Island in 2016 and came second to Cara and her boyfriend Nathan Massey. They moved in together a month later in Essex and Alex proposed to her whilst on holiday in New York just five months later.

Despite not revealing an exact date for their wedding, the pair were buzzing with excitement at the beginning of September, before FINALLY sharing their wedding photos with fans.

Speaking about the ceremony, Alex said, "I cried when I looked at her. I was actually crying before she got out of the car!"

Olivia, who has now taken Alex's surname to become Olivia Bowen, added, "When we saw each other we just burst into tears. I was really trying to hold it together and compose myself, because I didn’t want to fully lose it. The wedding was overwhelmingly perfect. It feels like it didn’t happen because it was so perfect."
