Love Island's Gemma Owen says dad Michael approves of Luca Bish as she breaks silence on relationship

Love Island star Gemma Owen has revealed that her father, footballer Michael Owen, gets on well with boyfriend Luca Bish. Since leaving the villa in August, the 19-year-old's relationship with Luca, 23, appears to have been going well.

"Luca fits in quite well and he gets on with my siblings, my mum and my dad as well," said Gemma when asked how her relationship is going. Whilst in the villa, viewers were desperate to know how Luca would get on with Gemma's father, whom she remained coy about on the show. Gemma told Luca that he needed to meet her family before they committed to each other because the opinion of her dad and mum, Louise, was very important.

Gemma continued: "His family are lovely too – I get on with all of them really well and have a good relationship with his sister." Gemma and Luca, who currently live apart, still make time for one another. She said: "I really enjoyed spending time in Brighton with them when I can and the same when he comes to Cheshire."
