They both briefly dated Gemma Owen.
And it looks like Luca Bish and Jacques O’Neill had plenty to talk about on a New Year’s Eve night out in Manchester.
The Love Island stars, both 23, cut a casual figure as they visited Nuage at the Menagerie Bar and Restaurant.

During the show, Gemma joined Luca early on and they made it to the final where they finished second behind Ekin-Su and Davide.
The dressage rider and the fishmonger broke up several times before finally deciding to go their separate ways in November after failing to fix anything or everything during a holiday.
Last month, Gemma revealed that dealing with “people’s opinions” during her split from Luca was “challenging”.

Speaking to Goss.ie at PrettyLittleThing’s Christmas party in Dublin, Gemma said she is getting through the split by keeping busy.
She told the publication: “The break up these past few weeks has not been nice. It’s not a good time.’
“It was challenging to have to deal with people’s opinions and think they know what’s going on when they don’t. But overall I’m fine. I’ll get through it and keep myself busy.”

Gemma added: “The girls were beautiful. Each of them texted me saying they were there and told me if I never needed to be called then they would be there. It’s really nice and makes it a little easier.”
They were last photographed together on November 5 celebrating fireworks night, with 23-year-old Luca saying he had “another first” with Gemma.
A source close to the couple told MailOnline at the time of the split: “Gemma and Luca have decided to separate.
Difficult: Gemma revealed just weeks ago that dealing with “people’s opinions” during her divorce from Luca was “challenging” (pictured in the summer)
“Their relationship has not worked out in the past few weeks and they have come to the conclusion that it is better for both of them to end it now.
“They hope to remain friends and will continue to support each other in everything they do.
“Love Island was a special time in her life, but unfortunately their romance outside the villa doesn’t feel the same.”
Gemma took to Instagram to confirm the split, writing: “To all my followers I want to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. It wasn’t an easy decision but on the guy end is what is best for both of us.
“Many of you have been with us on this journey from the beginning and I want to thank you for your continued support as we move into new chapters. Always sweet Gem x.”
Luca shared his own statement on social media, writing: “I would have liked to have had time to process this in private, but as you are now unfortunately aware, earlier today Gemma and I made the joint decision to go our separate ways.
“We embarked on such a journey together and created wonderful memories that I will cherish. I can’t thank you enough for everyone’s support for us as a couple during and after Love Island.
“We remain good friends and I wish her all the best.”
