Alex Bowen is "broody."
The ‘Love Island’ hunk is desperate to have a baby with his fiancee Olivia Buckland, whom he’s been dating for almost two years, but she’s managed to put him off the idea until they’ve travelled more and she wants him to practice with her best friend Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey’s little boy Freddie, who was born last month, first.
Writing in her column for new! magazine, she said: "Alex is broody and can’t wait to be a dad, but he’s agreed to travel and see the world before having children. He also hasn’t done any babysitting for Cara and Nathan’s little man Freddie yet, so he needs to practice dad duty first! Nathan has taken to parenthood like a duck to water. He’s so happy and loves being a dad. I’m so pleased he’s back with Cara and Freddie is the cutest baby – although he cries a lot! It’s such a change for Cara, but she’s coping well."
The couple are set to tie the knot later this year and the 24-year-old beauty has been trying to get in shape in time for her big day – but she doesn’t want to lose weight.
She explained: "The realisation that the wedding is this year has given me a kick up the bum to get in shape. Alex always tells me he feels so much better about himself when he goes to the gym, so we’ve stopped eating Domino’s pizza and we’re training together four to five times a week. I’m not looking at weight loss because I never weigh myself, but I’m starting to feel tighter, more toned and better about myself. I’ve actually added two inches of muscle to my bum, which is keeping me motivated!"
