Mum: She welcomed son Abel with husband Alex Bowen last June
‘I have been doing all sorts, running, weight training, HIIT, riding, new classes you name it I’ve given it a go. I am so proud of myself turning up. I have never consistently trained this long before & certainly never enjoyed it how I do now’.
‘It literally feels like part of my life & it would be weird without it’.
She continued: ‘I started way too soon after Abel & felt so much pressure from around me’.
‘I regret so much giving into that pressure early on & wish that I had just waited until I was personally ready. It literally made me feel a million percent worse & I hated myself’.

‘No one else’s, everyone’s situation is so so different & there is such a thing as divine timing & you can listen to it. It’s there right in your gut!’.

Speaking in an interview with OK! Magazine, Olivia said: ‘It was quite traumatic for me and Alex.
‘I’ve had therapy before and it really helped me, so we spoke to my mum after and she said if you need to process what happened, which we probably do, you could speak to the same lady you did before.’
Olivia added that she has not yet met her therapist for this just yet.
‘I think time naturally heals and you progress through it and we’re very good at speaking to each other, but the option is there and there’s no shame in it.’
