Love Island star Olivia Bowen opened up about her and her husband Alex's future baby plans.
The couple, who met on series two of the ITV2 programme, are already parents to one-year-old son Abel. They welcomed Abel in June 2022, with both Alex and Olivia posting plenty of snaps of their new bundle of joy with their millions of followers on social media at the time.
And now, they're hoping to have another child in the future. "It’s always on my mind," doting mum Olivia said about the prospect of having another baby. "We’d really like to have another. I just don’t know when." She added that, as they already have one child, having another won't be too different. However, the two are going to think hard about it before making any final decisions.
The duo already have a son named Abel (Insatgram)"When you’ve had a child, you don’t know if it’s going to make it [anxiety] better or worse," she told OK!. "At first, it made it better, then it made it worse. It’s a bit of a whirlwind. Has it made me think seriously about having another child? I mean, I think I would struggle again."
Last year, Olivia was mum-shamed by trolls after she shared an update about Abel. In November, she took to her Instagram page to share a picture of her baby son's bedroom and revealed she switched her son's crib for a toddler bed as he learned how to climb out of the cot.
Love Island's Olivia Bowen shares mental health battle after becoming a mum
Olivia, who lives with her husband in an Essex mansion, regularly shares updates about her life and her home. However, some followers decided to share their thoughts about the positioning of the bed. The critics called it 'dangerous' as they complained about the room.
The star placed her baby's bed against the wall and a lot of people said it was a safety hazard. One user said: "I believe you aren't meant to put beds against the wall? It's a safety hazard. There's sadly been a few children die because they have got trapped between the bed and the wall."
Another concerned follower commented: "I second this!! I've heard some real tragic stories of toddlers rolling over in a deep sleep and suffocating themselves between the bed and wall. I don't know what an appropriately sized gap is, I just know there should be a gap between the wall and bed xx." However, other followers were quick to defend her. The star previously revealed how differently she has been treated on social media since becoming a mother.
