Olivia and Alex’s relationship
Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen first met on series 2 of Love Island back in 2016. Olivia was an OG Islander while Alex entered on Day 18. They coupled up at the first opportunity and finished the show in second place behind Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey (who are also happily married today and parents to two children!).
After leaving the villa, Olivia and Alex’s relationship continued to go from strength to strength. Quickly moving in together, they got engaged in 2017 and tied the knot on 15 September 2018. They shared the lavish ceremony with fans via their TLC reality show Olivia and Alex Said Yes.
