GEMMA Owen has 'grown close' to a polo player with royal connections – a year after her split from co-star Luca Bish.
The 20-year-old brunette beauty hasn’t publicly dated anyone since she and Luca went their separate ways, three months after leaving the villa.
But insiders have now revealed to The Sun that Gemma has grown close to polo player Tommy Severn, who is from a famous polo playing family.
Equestrian Gemma is famously into horse riding herself, and has an incredible stables and training space at her disposal at her family’s £4million home.
Sharing a similar passion, Tommy has even played polo against royalty and was pictured with Prince William in 2016 as they competed at Cheltenham College.

A source told The Sun: “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’s representatives had no comment when approached by The Sun.
The star has been sharing photos from abroad on her social media over the past week, including a snap of horses and of a yacht.
Team GB dressage competitor Gemma came second place on Love Island 2022 with her now ex-boyfriend Luca Bish.
Gemma shared a statement to Instagram confirming their split, while Luca shared his own post hours later stating that he wished he'd had time to “process the break-up privately”.
Gemma had a relationship with rugby player and fellow islander Jacques O'Neill before entering Love Island.
The couple called time on their relationship at the beginning of 2021 - but they were reunited again when Jacques entered the ITV2 show in 2022.
During their time in the villa Gemma and Jacques remained friends despite a few awkward moments.
The 19-year-old has also reportedly dated ex-Wrexham footballer Cameron Green.

Since leaving the villa, the star has achieved a lot of personal success and signed a six-figure brand deal with PLT and released her own jewellery range, as well as owning her own swimwear label.
