Luca Bish has finally been pictured with Michael Owen after making things official with his daughter Gemma Owen.
The Love Island runner up was seen posing at the stables with horse-loving girlfriend Gemma and her famous footballer dad.
Manor House Stables in Cheshire shared the family snap after the international dressage rider popped in with her new beau to say hello.
Brighton fishmonger Luca, 23, looked right at home with the horses as he posed for the pic wearing black jeans, a grey top and trainers.
While 19-year-old Gemma showed off her toned mid-riff in a black crop and beige trousers.

The photo caption read: “A huge day for Manor House Stables tomorrow with BRAD THE BRIEF (left) FLAMING RIB (centre) & DUBWAI LEGEND (right) all running @haydockparkracecourse in the Betfair Sprint Cup (Group 1).
“@gemowen_1 & @lucabish popped in to wish them good luck.”
One follower commented: “He met Michael”, while another said: “Aw Luca and Gemma.”
It comes as the Love Island couple officially became boyfriend and girlfriend last week after dating on the ITV2 show for two months.
After Gemma said she didn’t want Luca to ask her in the villa, he waited until the show ended to properly make her his girlfriend.
At the end of August the couple took to social media to reveal Luca’s romantic proposal – and of course she said yes!
In a video posted on Instagram , Luca led Gemma through a beautifully ornate corridor, complete with romantic red roses, candles, red balloons and rose petals.
They then headed towards a swimming pool, where the words "Be my girlfriend" were floating spelled out in red balloons.
Clearly taken aback by his sweet gesture, Gemma mouthed the words "Oh my God" as she saw the trouble he had gone to.
Luca then handed her a bag from Cartier, which had a bracelet inside that he helped to place on her wrist.
He even hired a cellist to play music while the pair embraced and celebrated their love for one another.
Gemma’s dad Michael is very protective of his eldest daughter and was keen on meeting Luca ‘face to face’ when the couple came out of the villa.
Luca was said to have been "nervous" to meet the football star – after being introduced to Gemma's mum Louise when she came into the Love Island villa.
But Gemma reportedly knew her new love would win her family over in the end.
And if the latest pics are anything to go by it seems the lad has been given Michael’s seal of approval.
