Love Island finalist Gemma Owen has reunited with her fellow Islanders for the first time since the ITV show ended. The 19-year-old and her beau Luca Bish, 23, caught up with their series eight contestants in London after missing out on previous get-togethers.
The international dressage rider was pictured reuniting with her fellow finalist and friend Tasha Ghouri as she wished her a 'Happy belated birthday'. Tasha celebrated her 24th birthday at a Latin American restaurant in Mayfair last week with boyfriend Andrew Le Page, Dami Hope and Indiyah Polach, and Adam Collard and Paige Thorne, but Gemma and Luca were nowhere to be seen.
Instead of partying, the business owner and fishmonger were busy attending meetings in Manchester. Gemma shared a video whilst waiting in the car for Luca after she had reportedly signed a 'six-figure deal' with a fashion company, and shared she was excited for "new opportunities".

During the reunion in London last night, Gemma was also snapped alongside Afia Tonkmor, who was the first contestant of the 2022 series to get dumped from the villa, as well as posing alongside Ikenna Ekwonna and Casa Amor boys Josh Le Grove and Deji Adeniyi who she called her "brothers".
After being crowned runners up to winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, business owner Gemma and fishmonger Luca's relationship appears to be going from strength to strength.
Soon after leaving the villa, the pair jetted off to Portugal where Luca spent time with Gemma's close family and friends.
Luca had already met Gemma's mum Louise after she came into the Love Island villa for the meet the parents task, but was yet to meet her famous dad Michael Owen
But whilst out there helping Gemma shoot some content for her swimwear brand, OG swimwear, Luca finally met the former Manchester United striker.
While not publicly documenting their first meeting, Gemma, 19, said in a recent interview on Capital FM: "It couldn't have gone better, it was so nice. We got away for four days, it was a bit of like, got a bit of content, bit of chill time but yeah it was a really nice environment for him to meet everyone."
Since returning back to the UK, the pair spent just 24 hours apart before Luca then visited Gemma's huge £4 million family home. The pair reunited at Michael Owen's mansion as Gemma introduced her man to her beloved horse and two dogs.
But despite their closeness, the pair are yet to make their relationship official as they revealed they were waiting to get out of the villa and meet each other's families before confirming their romance.
Just days ago Luca excited fans as he teased something 'BIG' had happened between him and Gemma, but it later turned out that they had instead completed their much anticipated first food shop together.
Luca shared a TikTok which has since amassed 2.5 million views with the caption 'major milestone: complete' which showed the couple shopping together in M&S.
In the video, Luca said: "The food shop guys is happening. We're here and obviously Gem's come in heels. Brilliant idea."
The reunion with her fellow Islanders came just after the 19-year-old reached two million followers on Instagram.
On Friday (August 19) before heading out, Gemma shared a peace-out snap to her Instagram story which read: "Oh my god two million of you. Blown away by your support. Thank you so much."
