Luca Bish and Gemma Owen cuddle up on boat trip with her family including dad Michael

Gemma Owen was seen cuddling up to boyfriend Luca Bish on a family holiday to Dubai.

Love Island star Gemma has recently been enjoying a family getaway alongside her footballer dad Michael Owen and extended family and brought Luca along for the trip.

The couple shared a sweet selfie to social media from their luxury getaway as they spent the day taking in the sights on a boat.

Gemma, 19, wore a brown bikini and threw a white shirt on top of her swimwear as she posed for the photo with Luca, 23, adding an emoji of hands making a heart sign afterwards.

Posting a photo of the skyline a short while later, she added: “Such a good day with the family”.

Gemma’s famous dad Michael Owen also shared a snap from the family day, taking to his own Instagram account to share a photo of all the friends and family on the trip, captioning it simply: “Dubai 2022”.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted Gemma and Luca sitting together at the front of the shot, with one follower joking: “Everyone zooming in to see if luca is there”.

Another person wrote: “this time luca and gem made the family picture”.

After leaving the ITV2 dating show earlier this year, some fans originally questioned whether the pair were the real deal after they refused to make their relationship official until several weeks after leaving the villa.

But the couple made a loved-up appearance together at the Pride of Britain Awards earlier this week, with an inside source previously hitting back at the claims that the couple are in any trouble, saying things between Gemma and Luca are going from “strength to strength”.

A source close to the couple said: “There is lots of talk and rumours about a showmance amongst this year's contestants but it certainly isn't Luca and Gemma that everyone is talking about.

Speaking to The Mirror, they continued: “Luca and Gemma are closer than ever, they don't feel the need to ham it up on social media every day.

“Both have lots going on but they're staying together most nights and when they do have to be apart, they are constantly on the phone with each other.”

Gemma and Luca previously explained that their decision to delay officially becoming boyfriend and girlfriend had been due to Luca wishing to earn the approval and blessing from Gemma’s famous dad, Michael Owen, first.

Once he’d achieved the footballing pro’s blessing, Luca then formally asked Gemma to date him by presenting the star with a Cartier bracelet, much to the shock of many fans at home.

However, just a few months after this grand romantic gesture, rumours of a split began to swirl thanks to a few cryptic hints dropped by fellow Islander Paige Thorne.

During an appearance on Grace Beverley's Saving Grace podcast, paramedic Paige was asked who she thought the "fakest couple" to leave the show was.

Without missing a beat, the Welsh beauty responded: "All I'm going to say on this right, there are how many couples left… there are three couples.

"But really, there are only two – but that's a secret I'll never tell.”
