Love Islands Olivia and Alex Bowen reveal creepy reason they’ve stopped sharing their son online
OLIVIA and Alex Bown have revealed the creepy reason behind their decision to stop sharing images of their son online.
The couple, who met on Love Island in 2016, welcomed son Abel in July last year.
And just like many new parents, they shared loads of snaps online of their new arrival with their millions of followers.
However, the reality stars have since had a change of heart when it comes to revealing their child’s identity online.
In an interview with the Mirror, Olivia said: “We had a couple of instances where someone had stolen our photos and made a fake account involving [Abel].
“I just think it’s so wrong. So we made a decision to bring him off [social media] just to protect him from all that as unfortunately that are some people on online [that ruin it].
“It’s a shame but we still do share pictures – we upload images of him but just not pictures of his face.”
Alex joked: “He can decide if he wants to go on Instagram when he’s older!”
Olivia and Alex made Love Island history when they became the first couple from the show to walk down the aisle in 2018.
Since leaving the show as runners-up in 2016, they have built an empire worth £11.8million thanks to brand endorsements, TV appearances and lucrative fashion deals.
When asked if they are Love Island’s answer to Victoria and David Beckham, Olivia laughed: “Better than Posh and Becks!”
