After leaving Love Island, Gemma Owen landed a lucrative deal with PrettyLittleThing, one of the leading online fashion retailers in the UK. She became a brand ambassador for PrettyLittleThing and launched her own collection in late 2022. The collection featured a range of show-stopping pieces, inspired by Gemma’s classic style and Love Island experience. The collection included dresses, jumpsuits, tops, skirts, trousers, jackets, and shoes, in various colors, prints, and fabrics. Gemma modeled her collection on her Instagram account, where she has over 2.5 million followers. She also appeared in several promotional videos and events for PrettyLittleThing, alongside other celebrities and influencers.

Love Island Journey

Gemma Owen was one of the original islanders who entered the Love Island villa on Day 1. She was coupled up with Liam by the public, but soon found herself in a love triangle with Davide and Luca. She initially chose Davide, who stole her from Liam, but later switched to Luca, who had a crush on her from the start. Gemma and Luca quickly formed a strong bond and became one of the most popular and stable couples in the villa. They faced several challenges and temptations, such as Casa Amor, recouplings, and public votes, but they always stayed loyal and faithful to each other. They also had fun and romantic moments, such as their lemonade-making date, their hot air balloon date, and their declaration of love.

Gemma and Luca made it to the final of Love Island, where they competed against Amber and Andrew, Tasha and Jacques, and Indiyah and Ikenna. They received a lot of support from the public and their fellow islanders, who praised their genuine and sweet relationship. However, they narrowly missed out on the £50,000 prize, as they were announced as the runner-ups of the season. They left the villa hand in hand, smiling and grateful for their experience and each other.

Split with Luca and Current Status

Gemma Owen and Luca Bish seemed to have a fairy-tale romance on Love Island, but their relationship did not last long after the show. They announced their split in October 2022, just two months after leaving the villa. Gemma broke the news on her Instagram story, saying that they had decided to part ways as friends and that they still had a lot of love and respect for each other. She also thanked the fans for their support and asked for privacy during this difficult time.
