Luca Bish appears to be following in the footsteps of his girlfriend Gemma Owen's famous footballing father. After meeting on Love Island Luca and Gemma, who is the daughter of footballer Michael Owen, are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
The 23-year-old former fishmonger has just signed to a non-league football team and will play for Sussex outfit Hailsham Town, marking his return to the sport. The football team posted a picture of Luca to their Twitter feed saying that they were "delighted" at their new arrival.
The post read: “Delighted to announce a new arrival at The Beaconsfield. Previously with Saltdean United, welcome to the #Stringers Luca Bish!”
This comes after Luca spoke while on Love Island about his plans to move up north to be near where Gemma is based in Chester. Gemma's dad Michael was a very well-known footballer who has played for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and the English national team.
Recently Luca asked Gemma to be his girlfriend at a very romantic and lavish poolside setting where there were red roses, candles, a Cartier bracelet, and balloons in the pool spelling out: "Be my girlfriend". Despite the romance, a source has told OK! that Gemma was left feeling uncomfortable at the lengths Luca went to.
The source said: “She played along as she could see how much effort he’d gone to but it made her uncomfortable. She was never keen on PDAs in the villa and she wished he’d kept it private rather than plaster it all over Instagram. It’s making her nervous about their future.”
Gemma refused to make it official with Luca while they were both in the Love Island villa, saying he needed to wait until he had met and got approval from her family first. Shortly after the end of Love Island both Gemma and Luca jetted off to Portugal to spend time with her family.
