Love Island alum Gemma Owen has a new man in her life — and he’s no ordinary suitor. The 21-year-old reality TV star and daughter of football legend Michael Owen has made her romance Instagram official during a luxury family holiday to Dubai, where she was spotted cosying up to Red Morgan, a horse rider and the son of business tycoon Steve Morgan, founder of Redrow and one of Britain’s wealthiest men.
Sources close to the couple revealed that Gemma and Red bonded over their shared passion for equestrianism, having known each other for some time. The pair were all smiles in snaps from the Dubai getaway, joined by Gemma’s parents, Michael and Louise Bonsall, in what looked like a family stamp of approval.
Red’s father, Steve Morgan, is worth an estimated £915 million, according to the 2024 Sunday Times Rich List. So yes, this is a certified power couple situation — think saddle club meets succession vibes.
The budding romance comes as Gemma steps into a new phase of independence. She recently moved out of her family’s £4 million countryside mansion and into her own stylishly renovated cottage. Naturally, the glow-up has been well-documented on Instagram. Her all-grey kitchen and bedroom reveal drew attention not just for their luxe finishes but also for some online backlash — turns out the renovations were part of a brand collaboration, likely saving her a fortune in home makeover costs.
Gemma’s social media shows off sleek satin pillows, gold-accented appliances, and massive blinds — all courtesy of @prestigedesignyorkshire and Dutch Limes Oak flooring, who received glowing reviews (and exposure) in return.
Despite the glam and influencer partnerships, the Love Island star hasn’t forgotten her roots. In earlier interviews, she revealed her dad Michael wasn’t initially thrilled about her stint on the ITV dating show, but eventually gave his blessing, trusting she wouldn’t "embarrass" the family name.
Now, with a new man, a chic new home, and a thriving brand presence, Gemma seems to be settling into a life of horses, high society, and hashtag sponsorships — all with her famously protective dad watching from the sidelines.
Love Island might have been where she found fame, but Gemma Owen clearly has her sights set far beyond the villa.
