Michael Owen has celebrated his daughter's achievements on Instagram.
He gave a nod to the fact that his eldest daughter 19-year-old Gemma Owen is currently on a mission to find a partner in the Love Island villa on ITV2. Meanwhile, he celebrated his younger daughter's latest achievement.
Jessica Owen, 12, seems to be following her elder sister's footsteps as she too has a love for horse-riding. Proud dad Michael showed her suited and booted in riding gear as she sat on "her pride and joy", pet horse Jigsaw.

Michael captioned the post: "While the eldest is away, my youngest is progressing well on her pride and joy, Jigsaw. Well done @jess_0wen." He followed the text with an in-love emoji.
The former footballer also has two other children to his wife Louise Bonsall - Emily May, 14 and son James Michael, 16. Despite his successful career in football, Michael admitted he's keen for his children to earn their own money.
Speaking on the Walk The Dog podcast regarding all four of his kids, the former footballer said: "It's really difficult from a parent's point of view. You want to give your children the best start and the best chance. But you're always wrestling with the fact that if I just make it so easy, and I can do this and do that, is she going to learn from any mistakes?"
He added: "You want money that much - there's a pub down the road, go and work behind the bar or something. That's my view."
