And on Thursday night, Alex Bowen, 29, and wife Olivia Buckland, 27, sat apart as they leave the National Television Awards in a taxi, after he chatted to female friends from their PR team, Belle PR, in the smoking area at London’s O2 Arena. 

The blonde beauty looked sensational in a black floor-length gown, that featured a cut-out centre which left some of her inked midriff on display, while Alex looked dapper in a black suit, shirt and tie.

Olivia’s gorgeous gown boasted sparkling silver detail and allowed for a hint of her ample cleavage to be seen. 

The reality babe boosted her height with strappy platforms and accessorised with a smattering of silver jewellery, while styling her tresses into soft waves. 

Alex turned up the style stakes in his fitted black suit, and rather than opting for a white shirt as is traditional, chose to go for black-on-black. 

During the evening, the love island hunk was spotted chatting to some pretty female PR friends while taking a break in the smoking area.

The couple moved in together in August 2016 and Alex proposed during a romantic trip to New York in December after just five months of dating.

In September 2018, Olivia and Alex tied the knot in the first-ever Love Island wedding in front of friends, family and reality TV co-stars at Gosfield Hall, in Essex.

They regularly document their married life on social media, showing off their lavish £1million Essex home where they live with their two French Bulldogs Winnie and Reggie.

Olivia recently revealed she and her husband Alex would welcome a surprise pregnancy after insisting they ‘didn’t need’ to start a family.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the star admitted that she is not trying for a baby with her husband, but has also stopped using contraception. 

Asked whether she and Alex are considering children after three years of marriage, Olivia said: ‘ We’re not trying for a baby but we’re not not, we’re sort of just letting it take its course because I’ve always been on the fence I’ve been very vocal about it.  

‘It’s not something I need in my life but it’s something that would be a blessing if it did happen, we’re just very very laid back about the whole thing, if it happens it happens, so no pressure, if it happens it would be amazing.’ 

What’s going on? Alex looked over his shoulder as the group of PRs walked behind him
