We're a week into the latest series Love Island and one contestant is arguably the most discussed Islander in the famous villa this year. Dressage rider Gemma Owen, the daughter of former Liverpool, Manchester United and England striker Michael Owen, had viewers talking just a couple of days in after she coupled-up with Italian hunk Davide Sanclimenti who lives in Manchester.

Love Island producers have dropped another Bombshell on the villa in the alluring form of angel-eyed, rugby-playing, 23-year-old Jacques O'Neil.But don't be fooled by this dreamboat's enticing eyes and dangerously deep dimples, he enters the villa with BAGGAGE; a small carry on we've come to know as 19-year-old Gemma Owen, daughter of England football legend, Michael Owen.Yep, unsurprisingly, these painfully attractive human beings managed to find each other and make it work over lockdown – well, until it didn't. The pair dated for eight months in 2020 and, according to Gemma, broke up a year and a half ago, which means they called it quits at the beginning of 2021.So, plenty of Zoom dates and romantic, socially distant strolls to nowhere then? Jokes aside, this does mean that the reacquainted pair have been brought back together in one of the least socially-distant environments on the planet - Love Island.It sounds like Gemma is Jacques most recent relationship, too.

Right now - couple Gemma Owen and Davide Sanclimenti are exploring a possible connection between them. However, not everybody is supportive of the pairing due to their age gap - Gemma is 19, while Davide is 27. One viewer tweeted, “All I can think about every time Gemma and Davide talk is the age gap and it’s hurting me”.
