Love Island’s Alex Bowen’s desperate bid to change appearance after shock body confession

Alex Bowen, a Love Island star, has admitted he occasionally struggles with body image issues and has deep insecurities about his appearance.

The 33-year-old admitted that despite having a muscular physique, he frequently feels unhappy with how he looks. He achieved fame in 2016 as a bombshell contestant on the hit reality show.

The former Islander, who fell in love with Olivia Bowen now-wife, opened up exclusively to New! about how he struggles to be confident, explaining that he even chooses to wear a vest under his T-shirt when he feels too thin. He acknowledged that “no one ever feels happy.” I work out because I dislike my appearance. I occasionally put a vest under my T-shirt because I feel too thin if I haven’t worked out in a while. So I make an effort to assist those who experience that stuff as well.

Fans who have admired Alex for his sculpted frame and dedication to fitness are surprised by this revelation. However, his sincere confession highlights the pressures that come with being in public, particularly for men in the spotlight. One of his motivations for starting his fitness coaching company, Pure 45, which aims to assist other men who struggle with the same issues, is his struggle with body image.

Since leaving Love Island, Alex has been putting a lot of effort into his fitness journey, and he takes it seriously. He hopes to persuade other men to be honest about their own battles with self-assurance and self-perception by speaking out.

The reality star, who is expecting his second child with Olivia, has also experienced online sex abuse over the years, which has only grown insecurityate. It’s challenging,” he said. This world has a lot of nasty people. You can’t control what they say, he said, so give them a phone so they can say anything they want. Despite this, he uses his platform to promote both mental and physical well-being and maintains his focus on his family and fitness goals.

Olivia and Alex recently revealed the heartbreaking news that Olivia had twins but had lost one. After atraumatic and laborious birth that required an episiotomy, Olivia sadly struggles postpartum. She revealed that while on vacation in Dubai, they decided they were not ready to try having another child. However, in November, they made the decision to try again. Olivia learned she was pregnant just three weeks later.

At six weeks, they made the decision to schedule an early scan because they had twins in their belly. The couple’s doctor claimed that the baby’s one baby was “normal and they look good,” but that it was “slightly bigger.” Olivia acknowledged that the news “totally flabbergasted” her and that she never thought she might have twins.

They broke down in disbelief and told their friends and family on Christmas Eve that they planned to start raising a family of five soon. Olivia and Alex checked the baby’s growth again two weeks later. They were however shocked when the news was so devastating.

You could see that one baby was significantly bigger than the other as we watched the screen. The sonographer then explained to us that the smaller baby had no heartbeat, she emotionalally told the Sun. Simply put, I didn’t believe it. I was contemplating the statement, “No, it’s going to come back.” Alex’s face, which he had been so encouraging, made me feel even more outraged.

Olivia recalled how Alex became “so quiet” while feeling “numb.” She had vanishing twin syndrome, which was devastating. Because the embryo was reabsorbed back into Olivia’s body, she didn’t need an operation or bleed. Even though I had a scan two days ago and they said the baby is just gone, knowing that the baby was still inside me was difficult. She said, “I felt relieved, but then I immediately felt guilty.”

The TV actress acknowledged that she is having difficult times dealing with grief while still carrying a healthy child. Following the heartbreaking loss, Olivia found it difficult to carry on her daily routine. Olivia has learned to handle her grief, and she also wanted to speak out in front of others.
