Love Island's Alex Bowen found fame on series 2 of Love Island way back in 2016, which somehow was eight years ago. Woah. He is considered one of those rare Love Island success stories; after all, he left the villa with girlfriend Olivia Bowen (then known as Olivia Buckland) and eight years later, the couple aren't just still together, they've got matching tattoos, they're married (the first Love Island couple ever to do so) and are parents to Abel Jacob 'AJ' Bowen.
And they've got those influencer deals flooding in.
Pay attention, all. This is how you do Love Island...
But what else has Alex been up to since he made it all the way to the Love Island final in 2016? Plenty. For one thing, he's grown some hair on his face and the back and sides of his head...
