Michael Owen sought professional help after accusing wife of spending too much time with Gemma Owen

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael Owen sought “professional help” after he accused his wife of spending “all her time” with their eldest daughter, ‘Love Island’ star Gemma Owen.
The former England striker has confessed to previously being “really hard” on his wife, Louise Bonsall, because of his “inner demons”, even admitting he once accused her of spending too much time with 19-year-old Gemma and “ignoring” their other children.
In his 2020 autobiography ‘Reboot’, the former Liverpool forward wrote: “To my surprise, I found myself standing at a figurative cliff edge in 2014.
“A lifetime of that certain type of mentality, of behaviour, had led me to a point where I had to seek professional help …
“For years, because of my own inner demons, I was intentionally really hard on Louise about subjects that I knew would push her buttons most — not least her close relationship with our daughter Gemma.
“Let me be very clear and say that none of this was in any way a reflection on how I felt about either Gemma or Louise. I love them both with all of me.
“I’d take everything out on Louise, though. I’d accuse her of spending all her time with her eldest and ignoring the other kids. It wasn’t even true.”
But Michael – who also has son James, 16, and daughters Emily, 14, and Jessica, 12, with Louise – admitted seeking help was a “revelation” for him.
He added: “I stared into an abyss called divorce, panicking … the whole process was a revelation.”
International dressage rider Gemma entered the ‘Love Island’ villa for the series eight launch last week, and over the weekend Michael admitted he was surprised the Islanders share a bed with each other despite having only just met.
He said: “It’s not something any father wants to watch, is it?
“I said to Louise, ‘Do they really have to sleep together, like in the same bed?’ She said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘I did not bank on this.’
“Luckily for me, there was no physical contact. Gemma had her back to the guy.
“here was space between them. I thought, ‘Good girl.’ No father wants to see physical contact, do they? I certainly don’t.
“If there is physical contact I think I’ll be throwing something at the screen. I don’t want to see kissing. Do not make me see kissing!”
