Gemma Owen, 19, 'dating rapper Bugzy Malone, 32,' two months on from Luca Bish split

Her reality telly romance with Luca Bish only ended in November, but it seems Love Island star Gemma Owen has already moved on.

The 19-year-old is reported to be dating rapper Bugzy Malone, 32, after enjoying a few dates together recently.

The British grime star, who hails from Manchester, is 13 years her senior but their romance is reported to have had the blessing of family and friends.

Bugzy – who’s real name is Aaron Davies – is “really into” the telly personality and daughter of famous England footballer Michael Owen, according to reports.

The Sun reports: “Gemma and Aaron have enjoyed a few dates over the past few weeks.

“They have told their closest friends they are dating and seem really happy together. Gemma and Aaron are keeping their relationship out of the public eye for now because it is early days.

“He is really into her and has made it clear how he feels. It is all very new and exciting for both of them but they are taking it slowly.”

Bugzy has previously kept his love life out of the public eye – only revealing the identity of his previous girlfriend when they got engaged.

He popped the question to his girlfriend of nine years – having kept her a virtual secret until then - during a romantic trip to Paris, getting down on one knee while the pair were jetting down the Seine on a private boat.

Sharing the moment he proposed to his ex-partner on Instagram at the time, Bugzy wrote: “Because if you love her and she's a real one bend the f**king knee! Not much scares me but after 9 years its time and I swear I was shook she said yes.. Paris its been a pleasure...“

But it seems the rapper has split from his former fiancée – whose name he kept a secret.

Gemma and Bugzy’s rumoured romance comes as her ex Luca, 23, returned to social media earlier this month after a break following their split in November.

He told fans he took time away from the online world to deal with “things going on in [his] personal life”.

The Brighton-born reality star told how he didn’t want to “fake it” by posting while not feeling like himself.

Sharing a video, Luca said: “Merry Christmas, merry New Year. I'm back, I ain't been feeling myself.

“I had a few things going on in my personal life and family life and wanted to stay away from socials and not fake it and be around the people that are there for me.

“I know you guys are and that's why I'm trying to make an effort now.“
