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.
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. 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.“ The reality star said he didn't want to 'fake it' by keeping up with posting while he wasn't feeling 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. '
Luca said he is looking ahead to the new year, adding: 'It's an exciting year. The Brighton native certainly looked smitten with the stunning girl in a video shared to Instagram by the most recent winner, Ekin-Su Culculoglu, 28.
It was at Davide Sanclimenti's birthday party that Luca snuggled up to the mystery woman, ahead of the Italian Stallion turning 28 on New Year's Day.
Just weeks ago, Gemma revealed it's been 'challenging' dealing with 'people's opinions' amid her split from Luca.The dressage rider and the fishmonger split on several occasions before finally deciding to go their separate ways last month after they failed to patch things up on a make or break holiday.
Speaking to Goss.ie at PrettyLittleThing's Christmas Party in Dublin, Gemma said she's getting through the break-up by keeping busy.
She said: 'These last few weeks, as going through any break up, it's not nice. It's not a nice time.'
'Having to deal with 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.'
Gemma added: 'The girls have been lovely. Every single one of them has sent me a message, being there, telling me if I never need a call they'll be there. So that's really lovely and makes it a bit easier.'
They were last pictured together on November 5 celebrating firework night, with Luca saying he had marked 'another first' with Gemma.
A source close to the couple told MailOnline of the split at the time: 'Gemma and Luca have decided to part ways. 'They hope to remain friends and will continue to support each other in everything they do going forward.
'Love Island was a special time in their lives but sadly their romance hasn't felt the same outside of the villa.'
Taking to Instagram to confirm the split, Gemma wrote: 'To all my followers, I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. It wasn't an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for both of us right now.
'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.'
Sharing his own statement on social media, Luca wrote: 'I would have liked some time to process this privately but as you all already now know sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways.
'We have been on such a journey together and have made some amazing memories which I will treasure. I can't thank everyone enough for all their support for us as a couple during and after Love Island.
'We will remain good friends and I wish nothing but the best for her.'
The news comes after Gemma broke up with ex-boyfriend Luca Bish back in November and while fans weren't completely shocked (after Paige Thorne threw shade at one Love Island couple), Luca seemed a little stunned.
Shortly after Gemma confirmed their split on Instagram, Luca wrote on his Insta Story, "Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon to thousands of messages and news articles about my break up.
"I would have liked some time to process this privately but as you all already now know, sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways
