Olivia Bowen: I Lost Myself After Giving Birth & What Love Island Never Showed
What was said
"When I come out, I was inundated with comments that he can do better than me. Like, I'm not good enough for him. Your punching was the main one. And that is probably one of the hardest things. Every day I'd have a inbox. Why is Alex with you? You're nothing special. So I just don't think I ever truly believed that he loved me probably until he proposed."
Olivia Bowen revealed she was bombarded daily with messages telling her she wasn't attractive enough for husband Alex after leaving Love Island, with strangers calling her appearance inadequate. The constant criticism reinforced her existing insecurities and contributed to disordered eating, despite being a size six. She admits she didn't believe Alex truly loved her until he proposed six months after the show.
