Personal life
Bowen married Alex Bowen on 15 September 2018 in Essex.[11] In June 2022, she gave birth to their son.[12] In August 2025, she gave birth to their second child, a daughter.[13]
Bowen has discussed her postpartum fitness journey after giving birth to her son in June 2022.[14]
In February 2025, People Magazine reported about the Bowens' traumatic loss due to vanishing twin syndrome (VTS).[15] The condition "occurs when a twin or multiple disappears in the uterus during pregnancy as a result of a miscarriage of one twin or multiple. The fetal tissue is absorbed by the other twin, multiple, placenta, or the mother. This gives the appearance of a “vanishing twin.”"[16]
Interior Design
Bowen developed an interest in interior design during the COVID-19 lockdown, when she completed an interior design course. She has said her interest grew partly from followers asking for advice after seeing work she had done on her own home. In 2026, she launched an interior design application called Interior Design Clinic, in which users describe a desired room, receive a generated design, and can shop for the items featured.[17]
