Grace Jackson, the 27-year-old reality television star from Love Island, has never been hesitant to display her impressive physique. On Thursday, she confidently showcased her stunning figure in a series of revealing bikinis, celebrating a significant new brand partnership. The Love Island: All Stars contestant has officially become a brand ambassador for Skims, the company founded by celebrity entrepreneur Kim Kardashian.
Skims Collaboration and Bikini Showcase
Grace modelled two distinct bikini sets for the Skims campaign, including a vibrant red and white design and a striking blue snakeskin two-piece. In a social media caption accompanying the images, she expressed her pride in the collaboration, writing: 'Grace x @skims Brand Ambassador. Proud to partner with a female led brand celebrating confidence, comfort & feeling sexy in your own skin.'
Luca Bish's Supportive Response
Her boyfriend, Luca Bish, whom she met on Love Island: All Stars in January of last year, promptly showed his support in the comments section, stating: 'That's my girl.' The couple found romance on the All Stars edition of the popular ITV2 show, finishing as runners-up to winners Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, who have since ended their relationship.
Addressing Showmance Allegations
Grace and Luca have consistently demonstrated the strength of their connection, particularly after former islander Olivia Hawkins suggested that Grace was merely seeking a 'showmance' for publicity. Despite this, the pair have remained together, navigating public scrutiny and comparisons to Luca's past relationships.
Controversy Over Romantic Gestures
Luca faced some criticism last March for his elaborate method of asking Grace to be his girlfriend, which observant fans noted bore a remarkable resemblance to how he previously asked his ex-girlfriend, Gemma Owen, to become 'official.' During a luxurious getaway to Abu Dhabi, Luca arranged a private beach dinner adorned with floral arrangements and a neon sign posing the question: 'Will you be my gf?'
This setup closely mirrored a similar romantic gesture he had organised for Gemma after their initial meeting on Love Island. The beach pathway was lined with roses, culminating in a candlelit dinner overlooking the ocean at sunset. Luca and Gemma had coupled up during their first appearances on Love Island and made their relationship official shortly after exiting the villa, though they eventually parted ways.
Grace's Previous Love Island Journey
During her earlier stint on Love Island in 2024, Grace was initially paired with Joey Essex but ultimately left the villa with Rueben Collins. Their relationship concluded after the show, with both citing the challenges of a long-distance dynamic as the primary reason for their split.
Life After the Villa
In February of last year, Grace and Luca shared insights into their post-villa life during an appearance on the Wednesdays podcast with hosts Melissa Tattam and Sophie Habboo. Luca emphasised the importance of integrating their social circles, mentioning: 'We had dinner the day we landed with my mum and sister, and then we had dinner with her two best mates last night. The important thing for us is just introducing everyone, and yeah, integrating everything.'
The couple continues to maintain a strong bond, supporting each other's professional endeavours while managing the public attention that comes with their reality television fame.
