Love Island’s Gemma Owen breaks silence on shock split with Luca saying ‘it’s not been nice’
LOVE Island star Gemma Owen has finally spoken out over her “challenging” break-up with villa boyfriend Luca Bish.
The 19-year-old, who is Michael Owen‘s daughter, opened up about the pain of the split at a party.

However, she insisted the Love Island girls she spent the summer with have all been “lovely” in the wake of the break-up.
Gemma was speaking in Ireland at a Christmas party for PrettyLittleThing, the fast-fashion brand she works for.
She told Goss.ie: “These last few weeks, as going through any break-up, it’s not nice. It’s not a nice time.
“Having to deal with the press and other people’s opinions, and people thinking that they know what’s going on when they don’t, that’s been challenging.”
The star added: “But overall, I’m doing OK. I’m getting through it and keeping busy.”
Gemma also praised her Love Island co-stars, saying: “The girls have been lovely.
“Every single one of them has sent me a message, being there, telling me if I never need a call they’ll be there. So that’s really lovely and makes it a bit easier.”
The reality star announced that she and Luca, 23, had split in a message posted on Instagram last month.
It read: “I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. It wasn’t an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for both of us right now.
“Many of you have been on this journey with us from the beginning and I want to thank you for your continued support as a new chapter starts.”
Luca later released his own statement in which he told fans he’d turned his phone off to make sense of the situation privately.
He added: “We will remain good friends and I wish nothing but the best for her.”
However, an insider insisted he had been “blindsided” by the announcement, saying: “Luca had no idea that Gemma was going to end things.”
In a sign that things may not be entirely amicable, he has now unfollowed Gemma on Instagram – though she still follows him.
His Love Island co-star Davide Sanclimenti has spoken about how hard Luca found the break-up.
The Italian star said last month: “He was not really OK but he is now – and he is getting better.”

“Many of you have been on this journey with us from the beginning and I want to thank you for your continued support as a new chapter starts.”
Gemma sparked concern last month of trouble in paradise with boyfriend Luca after failing to mention him in her interview with Tatler.
And this week fans noticed that she wasn’t by Luca’s side as he attended various events.
Luca broke his silence hours later.
The fishmonger wrote on his Instagram story: “Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon to thousands of messages and news articles about my breakup.”
He continued: “I would have liked some time to process this privately but as you all already now know sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways.”

Another said: “Paige drank about 5 shots because she didn’t want to answer the shady questions. Ekin literally confirmed Paige’s break-up last week. I think she’s well in her right to say there is a fake couple…”

Gemma filmed her beau in her expansive garden at her famous footballer dad’s home during the sunny September day.
Luca, 23, could be seen in a grey t-shirt and black jogging bottoms as he played football at the end of the garden.
Fishmonger Luca has already referred to Gemma’s dad Michael, who played football for England, as his “future father in law” as he opened up about making his relationship with Gemma official at the end of August.
It seems he’s not planning to stop there as the fishmonger hinted at wedding bells in a new interview.

When asked what it was like meeting football legend Michael, 42, for the first time, Luca said: “The first time I ever met him I went on holiday with him to Portugal, which is quite a weird first experience to have with your future father in law.”
During the appearance on talkSport, Luca was also quizzed on whether Michael had spoke to him about some of his behaviour towards Gemma during their time in the villa.
Luca replied: “Not at all. He would have if he’d seen anything he didn’t like I’d imagine, but not yet.”
And Luca’s latest career move will no doubt have pleased Gemma’s dad, as he signed for non-league side Hailsham Town.
The football club announced on Twitter: “Delighted to announce a new arrival. Welcome to the Stringers, Luca Bish.”

Luca was seen smiling for a snap in a tight-fitting zip-up shirt, as she posed alongside a football field for the announcement.

Luke reacted to the signing in a follow-up tweet, writing: “The boy was on fire for me last season before going on loan to the villa for the summer!”
It comes after Luca appeared on popular footballing TV show Soccer AM – where he showed off his skills with former footballer Jimmy Bullard.
