Hollyoaks co-stars Owen Warner and Jason Donovan's daughter Jemma 'suddenly SPLIT after two years of dating'
Hollyoaks stars Owen Warner and Jemma Donovan have reportedly split after two years of dating.
The co-stars, who are known for playing Romeo Nightingale and Rayne Royce in the Channel 4 soap, went public with their romance in April 2023.
Owen, 26, and Jemma, 25 - who is the daughter of Australian star Jason Donovan - first met while working on the soap and he was introduced to her famous dad on holiday.
However The Sun has reported that Owen and Jemma have called it quits after two years, with their split said to be very sudden.
A source said: 'It's over and they're no longer friends. It was very sudden - everyone was so upset for them.'
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Owen and Jemma for comment.
It is the second time the pair have reportedly split after they called it quits back in August 2023, just months after going public with their romance.
Owen and Jemma had made their red carpet debut at the British Soap Awards 2023 back in June just a few months before.
A source said at the time: 'They had great fun together but, long term, decided it's better to just be friends.
'They are both super- professional, so it won't change anything at work.'
Jemma had appeared on Owen's social media many times during their romance and he had been introduced to her famous dad and family on a holiday.
The couple confirmed their romance in April 2023 when Owen took to Instagram to share a video pretending to propose to her while on a hike in Mallorca with her family.
The clip was buried among a slew of loved-up family holiday snaps as he joked about getting down on one knee in the caption.
He wrote next to the video: 'She's still not forgiven me for that one!', after he shocked her with the move.
The clip showed them hugging while taking in the mountain views before he gets to the ground before quickly jumping back up to indicate it was a joke.
She looked shocked at the 'proposal' and covered her mouth with her hands before he started laughing at her.
Speaking about Speaking about their romance earlier that year, Owen told The Sun: 'Jemma kept messaging me and messaging and asking me to go on dates and then I just gave in.
'Ahhh seriously though it took me a while to pluck up the courage to ask her out.
'I've just been on holiday with her family they are all amazing.'
Owen previously dated Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry, but the couple split in summer 2022 amid claims he reportedly messaged glamour model, Apollonia Llewellyn, begging to meet up.
Prior to his romance with Chloe, Owen dated Hollyoaks co-star Stephanie Davis.
But they split in 2019 after nine months together amid rumours Owen felt that the relationship was 'moving too quickly'.
After his break-up with Stephanie, Owen found love with Love Island star and celebrity make-up artist Lana Jenkins after being introduced through mutual friends.
Just weeks after his split from Lana, Owen then went on to date The Apprentice's Camilla Ainsworth, going public with their romance at the start of 2021.

Kneecap rapper wears Palestine Action ‘terror group' T-shirt ahead of controversial Glasto set that BBC WON'T show live
CONTROVERSIAL hip hop group Kneecap have shared an image of one of its members wearing a "We Are All Palestine Action" ahead of their Glastonbury set. JJ O Dochartaigh - who often wears a balaclava in public - was seen in the snap wearing the top on X, with the caption reading: "1 hour to go..." 1 They are due to perform at 4pm on the West Holts stage. It comes after the BBC confirmed it will not be broadcasting the Irish trio's performance live following Sir Keir Starmer saying they should be banned from appearing altogether. Festival bosses, meanwhile, have already warned part of the grounds could be locked down during the group's performance this afternoon due to crowd surge concerns. Frontman Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged under the Terrorism Act after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist group Hezbollah while saying "up Hamas, up Hezbollah" during a gig in November in Kentish Town, north London. A BBC spokesperson said: 'As the broadcast partner, the BBC is bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. "Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines. "We don't always live stream every act from the main stages and look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on our digital platforms, alongside more than 90 other sets." The band themselves addressed a post on X to "a chairde Gael" - which means "Gaelic friends" in which they said they'd been contacted by the "propaganda wing of the regime". The post added: "They WILL put our set from Glastonbury today on the I-player later this evening for your viewing pleasure. "The crowd expected today is far greater than West Holts capacity so you'll need to be very early to catch us EARLY". A festival statement released today warns: "Kneecap will draw a large audience for their 4pm West Holts show. "If you're not planning to see them, please plan alternative routes around that area. "If you do plan to attend, listen to stewards, and please have some other entertainment options in mind in case the field reaches capacity and we need to close it as part of our crowd planning measures." Earlier this month the rapper - who performs under the stage name Mo Chara - and bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and O Dochartaigh were mobbed by hundreds of fans outside Westminster Magistrates' Court. He was released on unconditional bail - and is due at the same court on August 20 for the next hearing. The group's much-anticipated appearance at Glastonbury has been criticised by PM Sir Keir Starmer and Tory leader Kemi Badenoch. Mr Starmer said this week it is "not appropriate" for the group to perform at the festival, which started on Thursday. Asked by The Sun on Sunday if he thinks Kneecap should play, the PM said: 'No I don't. 'I think we need to come down really clearly on this. I won't say too much, because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate.' Ms Badenoch also said the BBC "should not be showing" the band's set in a post on social media. Her post said: "The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. "One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. "As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism." The band are not currently listed for live broadcast. Avon and Somerset Police said: "Ticket-holders can once again expect to see uniformed officers on site at Glastonbury Festival 24/7 throughout the festival as part of our extensive policing operation ensuring it is safe for everyone attending, as well as those who live nearby." In response to the charge, Kneecap said in a post: '14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us... 'Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. 'The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.' Hezbollah - founded in 1982 - is an Iran-backed Shiite militia. The Lebanese terrorist organisation voiced support for the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7 2023 before launching guided rockets and artillery shells at Israeli-occupied positions the following day. Israel has retaliated with strikes on Gaza - and the conflict remains ongoing, with thousands of people, including civilian children, killed. Kneecap has said they "do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah", condemned all attacks on civilians, and alleged footage was "deliberately taken out of all context" as part of a "coordinated smear campaign" over their criticism of "the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people".
