She captioned it: “I am overjoyed to let you all know Owen is finally home after this horrible nightmare.
“Words can’t express our relief and gratitude as we welcome him back into our arms.
“Thank you all for your support, love, and prayers during this challenging time. We are looking forward to healing and moving forward.”
The 22-year-old was held in a detention centre in Bahrain following an incident on February 14.
Owen was told he would spend three month’s in the Gulf state’s Hidd Prison after he was handed a custodial sentence on Wednesday, March 19 for physical assault.
Kirsty then wrote letter to the King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa begging for a royal pardon with her request answered.

He had been on duty in Bahrain for four months.
Kirsty thanked the public for their support during the ordeal.
She continued: “The case worker told us just to hang fire just now.
“There are a few things that need to go through at the prison.
“Before the royal pardon the Royal Navy said that they would be keen to get him back and check him over.”
