Although she didn’t directly reference her split from the fishmonger, she did talk about the criticism she’s faced since leaving the villa.
She told the magazine: “Your life's under a little bit of a microscope. People question certain decisions or think they know what's going on in your life when they perhaps don't know the full story.
Speaking about her Love Island experience, Gemma said: “I wasn't sure if I was even going to participate until the very last minute. But I had such an amazing time and met incredible people, incredible friends, and had a really lovely summer.”
The daughter of football star Michael Owen shared a statement on her Instagram Stories to announce she and Luca were ‘no longer in a relationship’, telling fans: “It wasn’t an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for us both right now."
She added: "Many of you have been on this journey with us from the very beginning and I want to thank you for your continued support as we start new chapters. Love always, Gem x [sic]."
Not long after, Luca broke his silence on his split from the PLT ambassador and appeared to take a swipe at Gemma’s statement, telling his followers in a lengthy post that he wished he ‘had some time to process this privately’ first.
