A former Love Island star has revealed his dramatic transformation years after competing on the ITV series. Alex Bowen, 34, flexed his chiselled abs as he took part in his first bodybuilding competition over the weekend.

Alex, who appeared in the second season of the dating show in 2016, entered the PCA Physical Culture First Timers competition. In a pair of modest pink shorts, he performed a number of poses.

He revealed on Instagram that he finished in second place in the contest. Sharing his achievement, he told his followers: “I DONE IT,” he gushed. “2nd place in a stacked class. Now food and beer!”

He recorded himself performing various poses throughout the competition on video. His wife, Olivia, was one of those who shared their joy.

She wrote, “So proud of you made every minute worth it,” in the comments section. Additionally, she included four heart-shaped red emojis. One user thanked her for making her apologies for saying, “You must have had to accept a little less help with a newborn, you’ve smashed this as wife and mother, and let your man shine.” It’s time for you right away.

Olivia and Alex have been an item since meeting in the Love Island villa almost 10 years ago. They have since tied the knot and in August they welcomed their second child together.

Last month, the 31-year-old revealed the sweet news on social media. Abel, their three-year-old son, and Olivia shared a number of adorable photos online. She also revealed the adorable name of their daughter to her followers.

She wrote, “We are all bursting with love, and our beautiful girl Siena is here, and I can’t even find the words.” Every second was worth it a thousand times, according to the saying. My babies are my love.

Olivia was initially expecting twins but earlier this year, the expectant star revealed she had experienced Vanishing Twin Syndrome (VTS). The condition sees one embryo lost in early pregnancy, leaving a single developing foetus.

Prior to her newest baby’s arrival, Olivia said she’d felt the ‘most complicated batch of emotions’ she’d ever known during the pregnancy. “I felt like that darkness was taking over and pulling me down with both paws,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I experienced it intermittently throughout my motherhood and again after giving birth. The hormones are the source of the entire expectation, change, and world experiences that are different from those you have encountered throughout your entire life.

“Then, as I grieved one of our precious babies to Vanishing Twin Syndrome, and went through the most difficult set of emotions I’ve ever experienced,” I said.

Olivia looked at her nearly finished nursery before Siena’s birth. She claimed that the emotions were conflicting.

Jon Bon Jovi has spoken for the first time about his son Jake Bongiovi and daughter-in-law Millie Bobby Brown adopting their first child, describing the experience of becoming a grandfather as “crazy, but great. Wonderful.”

The rocker, 63, made the comment while watching a clip of the conversation on Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast on TikTok over the weekend. He claimed that the young girl had already been met.

You know what I mean when I say that they adopted a girl, that they met naturally, and that the baby becomes your grandchild right away. He referred to himself as “your baby.”

The singer admitted that he is too busy requesting updates from the new parents. It is “beautiful.” Every other day, ideally, is what I want to see. I’m already experiencing that in the butt guy, which is cool.

Brown, age 21, and Bongiovi, age 23, both confirmed last month that they had unofficially given birth to a girl over the summer.

The Stranger Things actress announced the news on Instagram, writing: “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy. And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”

Soon after, the couple was photographed pushing a stroller through New York’s streets, and Brown has since shared family photos and videos of Jake carrying a baby carrier while boarding a private jet.

Bon Jovi’s decision to marry young was also reflected by the couple. Last year, the pair celebrated in Italy with a smaller U.S. ceremony followed by a bigger celebration.

We are aware that we are able to receive it. he explained. They have reached maturity beyond their years. She was born into a family where her parents were still living together when they were just two.

He continued, “Her and Jake fell in love, and we just thought, Okay, we’ll support this.”

Brown has expressed her desire to become a mother. She stated on the SmartLess podcast that her father was 19 and my mother had her first child at 21. And you’re aware that it’s been a part of my life since I first met Jake.

“I wanted to be a mother the way my mom was to me since I was a baby.”

She continued, “Jake knows how important a family is to me. A large family is what I aspires to. One of four people is me. One of four is him. Therefore, it is undoubtedly in our future. However, for me, adopting a child is not really any different from having one.

Brown and Brown shared a wedding photo that read, “One year married,” to celebrate their first wedding anniversary this month. I enjoy being your spouse.
