They both had brief relationships with Gemma Owen.

And it seems Luca Bish and Jacques O’Neill had plenty to bond about as they went out on a night out in Manchester on New Year’s Eve. 

The Love Island stars, both 23, cut casual figures as they visited Nuage at Menagerie Bar and Restaurant.

Luca sported a black sating bomber jacket, over a black T-shirt and matching trousers.

Meanwhile, Jacques wore a pale blue T-shirt with a pair of ripped grey jeans and a thick silver chain necklace.

Jacques previously dated Michael Owen’s daughter, 19, for eight months before they went on Love Island.

On the show, Gemma coupled up with Luca early on and they lasted all the way to the final where they came runners up to Ekin-Su and Davide.

The dressage rider and the fishmonger split on several occasions before finally deciding to go their separate ways in November after they failed to patch things up on a make or break holiday. 

Last month, Gemma revealed it’s been ‘challenging’ dealing with ‘people’s opinions’ amid her split from Luca.

Speaking to Goss.ie at PrettyLittleThing’s Christmas Party in Dublin, Gemma said she’s getting through the break-up by keeping busy.

She told the publication: ‘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, 23, 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.

‘Their relationship hasn’t worked for the last few weeks, and they have come to the conclusion that it’s better for them both to end things now.

‘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.’
