Olivia Bowen has said her "hormones are everywhere" after the birth of her first child as she thanked fellow new mums for reaching out with reassurance.
The reality star, 28, and her husband Alex Bowen, 30, welcomed their newborn Abel Bowen earlier this month, with the pair being overwhelmed with well-wishes in recent weeks.
The couple - who met on Love Island in 2016 - have shared updates of parenthood on their Instagram accounts, with Olivia expressing gratitude on the platform yesterday.
She shared a photo of herself cradling her newborn, with her explaining in the caption that she's been feeling quite emotional lately and is thankful for support from her fans.
Olivia wrote: "Today was very emotional! The hormones are EVERYWHERE. I think I've cried about 30 times, that's no exaggeration." She included a laughing emoji at the end.
She continued in the post by revealing that they have a newborn shoot tomorrow (June 17) which she's "excited" about it, so they "will not be moving" for the next few days.
"I can't believe how hot it is too. Although we do have air con in our bedroom I feel so guilty not making the most of the sunshine but it's cosy here," she further commented.
