They may have all been on a luxury holiday to Portugal – but was it all sun and smiles between Luca Bish when he met Michael Owen?
The 23-year-old coupled up with the footballing legend’s daughter Gemma on Love Island, where they were crowned runner’s up after winners Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
While the two are the only finalists to not be officially together, the international dressage rider introduced the fishmonger to her family.
As well as the former Manchester United player, Luca met Gemma’s mum Louise Bonsall and her sisters Jessica and Emily and brother James.
Micahel revealed he’d flown out to the Algarve, where he owns a villa, last week to enjoy ‘a few days of sun.’
And the iconic footballer had company, with Gemma and Luca jetting out to join him, updating their followers with blissed out holiday snaps.
But Luca may have had some pre-holiday nerves, as it was the first time he had met the 42-year-old.


According to Gemma, however, the meeting ‘couldn’t have gone better’ as she told Capital radio on Wednesday morning.
She explained: ‘It was so nice. They all got on really well. How he was with my brothers and sisters as well, it was so cute.’

Michael and Luca also enjoyed some banter over the trip on Instagram, with the sports star posting a picture with the caption: ‘Family -1🇵🇹’ in reference to Gemma’s absence.
However, Luca cheekily jokingly pointed out there was more than one person missing by simply replying: ‘ -2.’

Despite all the adorable bonding between Luca and the Owens, he has still not asked Gemma to be his girlfriend.
The 19-year-old opened up about it on Capital, saying there were ‘no updates’ on their relationship status yet, but adding they ‘definitely’ want to move in together in the future.
Love Island is available to stream on ITV Hub.
