Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen only argue when apart

Olivia Buckland only argues with husband Alex Bowen when they are apart.
The pair – who met on the 2016 series of ‘Love Island’ – tied the knot at Gosfield Hall, in Essex, south east England, last September and the 25-year-old star can’t explain why their relationship works, but she admitted that they work better when they are "constantly" together.
She told Metro.co.uk: "I just feel like we work, there’s no way to explain it.
"We were very lucky and I’m very lucky that we met, and I’m very grateful.
"Finding your soulmate is like finding a needle in a haystack.
"It might happen, it might not, and we’ve just been very lucky people to find someone we work with and we want to be with each other constantly.
"I’ve said to people before we only argue when we’re not together.
"We seem to work better when we’re stuck by each other’s sides.
"You’ve got to keep having fun and remember life’s too short…"
The happy couple couldn’t hold back their emotions as they clapped eyes on each other for the first time on their big day.
Olivia said previously: "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."
Alex added: "I cried when I looked at her. I was actually crying before she got out of the car!
"I turned away while all the bridesmaids walked down the aisle and my best man started crying and another one of the ushers.
"I was like, ‘Lads, stop it.’ I heard someone say, ‘She looks beautiful,’ and I was like, ‘Argh.’
"The registrar gave me the signal to turn round and, as soon as I did, I just burst out crying even more."
The loved-up par – who celebrate their first anniversary on September 15 – were overwhelmed and Olivia admitted it felt like the ceremony didn’t happen because it was "so perfect:".
She said: "The wedding was overwhelmingly perfect. It feels like it didn’t happen because it was so perfect. I had a vision and it all fitted into place like a puzzle. I was totally speechless the day after.
Alex added: "I can’t describe it with words. It felt like we were in a movie. It was surreal."
The 27-year-old model arrived at the venue in a helicopter after Olivia had organised the wedding day treat for him as a surprise.
She added: "I saw Alex land in his helicopter as it was right outside the bridal suite. I organised it for him as a surprise.
"We went mental when we heard it.
"I didn’t watch him get out because I didn’t want to ruin it for myself."
