The publication said that Luca, 23, beamed as he wrapped his arm around 19-year-old Gemma. Both dressed in white outfits, the pair were spotted in Portugal. Gemma wore a white sleeveless bodysuit and lace flared trousers, while Luca donned a pair of white shorts and a beige polo top.

Luca was seen sat at a table outside Maria's Restaurant and Beach in the Algarve as the family dined al fresco. The group appeared to be getting along well as they dined and chatted and the former fishmonger was seen sitting next to football legend Michael at the table.

During the trip, Luca also threw his support behind Gemma's swimwear brand OG Beachwear as her beau modelled a pair of trunks from her collection in a snap on Instagram. Sharing a picture, he wrote: "Does this count as our first holiday together or? It’s only right that I wear @ogbeachwear @gemowen_1 ".
