Louise Owens career has been being Michael Owen’s girlfriend and then wife. She came from a middle class/upper middle class family. Her dad is a businessman and she had her own horse growing up. She has been dating Michael Owen since school and by 18 he was already an up and coming star - so she’s never had a proper career per say. She left school after her GCSEs and did a NVQ in business and finance at Deeside College, and did a brief stint at a credit card company. She moved in with Michael Owen into a mansion in June 2002, aged 22. By that point I think she’d quit her job and she started an equine science course. She got pregnant with Gemma and never finished it. Gemma was born in May 2003, so it looks as though Louise got pregnant as soon as she’d moved in with Michael.
Louise has groomed Gemma to be a mini-me. Gemma is into dressage undoubtedly because of her mother. She dresses and behaves a lot older than her years - what 18 year old needs filler?!
I don’t think Louise is going to be the feminist type to come in and highlight how toxic and misogynist Lucas behaviour is. I think she’ll dislike Luca on the basis that he won’t offer Gemma the life that Louise clearly has groomed her for, essentially to be the wife of a very wealthy man.
Louise was born into a well off family, found a successful man early on and has essentially lived her life in luxury as a lady who lunches ever since, free to indulge herself in her biggest hobby; horses. Now her daughter is the same. Louise was only a few years older than Gemma when she got pregnant with her, I expect she wants Gemma to find a wealthy man ASAP and Luca is not that man.
His family are certainly well off, but Luca is a stratosphere away still, from the type of wealth Gemma has been used to growing up.
