Luca Bish criticized for unoriginal girlfriend proposal

Luca Bish is facing criticism for his recent proposal to Grace Jackson, which many fans say resembles his previous extravagant gesture to his ex-girlfriend, Gemma Owen. The Love Island stars recently enjoyed a luxurious trip to Abu Dhabi, where Luca set up a romantic dinner on the beach. The beach setup featured a pathway of roses and a neon sign asking, "Will you be my girlfriend?" This arrangement has drawn comparisons to a similar proposal he made to Gemma in 2022, which also included a dramatic display of red roses and candlelight. Fans voiced their opinions, with some calling it a "copy and paste" of what he did for Gemma. In the earlier proposal, Luca surprised Gemma with a grand arrangement that included a cello player and a £6,500 Cartier bracelet. Many fans believe that Luca should have created a more unique experience for Grace. Some comments on social media expressed disappointment, stating it seemed overly similar to his past proposal. Luca’s recent romantic endeavors come after his breakup with Gemma, which was made public in late 2022. They parted ways because their relationship had struggled outside the Love Island villa. The couple emphasized their desire to remain friends. As he navigates his new relationship with Grace, Luca and she have discussed experiences with online abuse following their time on reality TV. Luca expressed concern for his family during his previous appearance on Love Island due to the backlash he received at the time. Grace has supported him in addressing the challenges they face as public figures.
