Gemma Owen has reportedly grown close to a polo player who has a royal connection, after her split from Luca Bish.
The former couple struck up a romance during Love Island last summer, and placed runners-up.
However, they called it quits just a few months later.
Gemma hasn’t publicly dated anyone since her split from Luca last November, but The UK Sun have now reported that the 20-year-old has grown close to polo player Tommy Severn.
The sportsman, who is from a famous polo playing family, has played polo against royalty and was pictured with Prince William in 2016 as they competed at Cheltenham College.
A source told the publication: “Gemma went to Ibiza to watch Tommy play polo in Ibiza this week.”
“They shared a photo from the same polo club and they’re both passionate about horses.”

Gemma announced her split from Luca last November, just three months after they left the Love Island villa.
Speaking exclusively to Goss.ie at PrettyLittleThing‘s Christmas Party in Dublin the following month, the 20-year-old admitted the break-up “has been challenging”.
The OG Beachwear founder told us: “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. But overall, I’m doing ok. I’m getting through it and keeping busy.”
Earlier this year, Gemma was linked to rapper Bugzy Malone, but she later shut down the dating rumours.
In an interview with The UK Mirror back in April, the dressage rider confirmed she was still single, and had been “working on” herself over the past few months.
The Love Island star told the publication: “I am not seeing anyone at the moment. I am just working on myself.”
“I haven’t got any plans of getting into anything, I am just working on myself and getting content.”
