Doting dad Alex Bowen overwhelmed with love as he shares more cute snaps of baby AJ

Doting dad Alex Bowen is overwhelmed with love as he shares more cute snaps of his new son.

On Sunday, the 30 year old proudly announced the news that his wife Olivia Bowen had given birth to their first child - son Abel Jacob - and revealed the tot’s sweet nickname.

“Abel Jacob Bowen, but you can call him AJ.... the day our lives changed for the better,” he captioned a picture of him holding his son with Olivia leaning on his shoulder.

The couple, who met on Love Island in 2016 and wed two years later, were over the moon to be expecting a baby, and kept the sex a secret throughout the pregnancy.

In a series of posts on his Instagram Stories, Alex told his 1.6 million followers that they should expect serious baby spam from now on.

“He’s everything! And yes you’re gonna see bare vids and pics sorry,” he wrote atop a snap of him proudly holding the gorgeous newborn.

He then uploaded a picture of him with Olivia and their baby son, and the exhausted new mum could barely keep her eyes open to smile for the camera.

Alex shared an adorable picture of his son laid on his chest, wearing a cute orange all-in-one and covered with a white blanket.

“Thank you for all the kind comments and messages we have received. Means a lot,” he wrote.

The former Love Island star then posted a heartwarming video of him overwhelmed with love for his baby son, as the doting dad stroked the tot’s head and laughed at the camera with tears in his eyes.

Olviai previously spoke about their journey to parenthood, and said she felt “lucky” to have fallen pregnant so quickly.

“We were actually only trying for a couple of months. So we are so, so grateful and so, so lucky to be able to conceive that quickly,” she told new! magazine.
