Love Island finalist Luca Bish looked in high spirits after finally being introduced to Gemma Owen's footballer dad Michael.
Luca, 23, beamed as he wrapped his arm around 19-year-old Gemma who also smiled while stood next to her beau, hinting things are going well.
The pair matched in white outfits as they stepped out in Portugal for a meal with Gemma's family, including her footballing legend dad Michael, 42.
Luca, who recently called out Michael for leaving him out of a family snap, sported a pair of white shorts and a beige polo top and sported the pair of round sunglasses which he wore around the Love Island villa.
Meanwhile, Luca's soon-to-be girlfriend Gemma looked stunning in a white sleeveless bodysuit and a pair of see-through lace flared trousers.
She also had a pair of sunglasses on and tied her long brunette locks in a high ponytail away from her face.
Earlier in the evening Luca, who made his red carpet debut this week, was seen sat at a table outside Maria's Restaurant and Beach in the Algarve as the family dined al fresco.
Former fishmonger Luca was seen sitting next to the former Liverpool striker at the table, giving the pair plenty of opportunity to bond.
The group appeared to be getting along well as they dined and chatted while being tended to by a waiter at the beachside eatery.
And the meeting appears to have gone well as the group continued to chat outside the restaurant after enjoying their meal.
But, it was said to be a nerve-wracking thing for Luca as a source told The Sun: "Luca has been nervous about meeting Michael which is, of course, totally natural.
"He adores Gemma and knows that he has to impress."
During the trip, Luca also threw his support behind Gemma's swimwear brand OG Beachwear as the former fishmonger modelled a pair of trunks from her collection in a snap on Instagram.
As he shared the photo, Luca penned in the caption: "Does this count as our first holiday together or? It’s only right that I wearr @ogbeachwear @gemowen_1".
Luca meeting Micheal has been highly-anticipated by fans after the former footie star swerved going into the Love Island villa for the Meet the Parents challenge.
Gemma was reunited with her beloved mum Louise and a friend as they visited the villa and met Luca for the first time.
Despite not entering the villa, Michael had a message for his daughter as Louise told Gemma of her dad: "Honestly he is really proud of you, really proud."
Gemma, however, met Luca's parents – who have a connection to rock singer Nick Cave – as they entered the villa, with Luca's dad hilariously donning a pair of fish flip flops.
Before meeting Michael, Luca expressed his desire to get the seal of approval from Gemma's mum before asking the dressage rider to be his girlfriend.
When quizzed by his rugby player pal Jacques O'Neill, who recently apologised following bullying claims, during an Instagram live he joked: "Yeah mate, it's coming. I'm just waiting on written consent from her mum aren't I?"
Luca added: "Louise is lovely. Me and Gemma are good, I'm seeing her tonight – we're getting some food."
