Sources have even claimed that his lavish gesture has left Gemma concerned about their future together.
A source told : "She played along as she could see how much effort he’d gone to but it made her uncomfortable.
"She was never keen on PDAs in the villa and she wished he’d kept it private rather than plaster it all over Instagram. It’s making her nervous about their future."
During their time on Love Island, Gemma made it crystal clear that she did not want to make their romance official until Luca had met her family.

But following a trip to Portugal with her loved ones, including her famous footballer dad Michael Owen, Luca decided to make his move.
Gemma was surprised with mountains of red roses, piles of candles and even a cellist in Luca's bid to make things official.
In a soft-focus video, set to MAJOR's ballad Why I Love You, the professional dressage rider can be seen opening a seriously expensive Cartier bracelet, which can cost up to £10,000.
As the pair embraced, the words 'Be My Girlfriend' could be seen spelt out in a swimming pool next to them.

However, after sharing the footage on social media, not all fans were impressed.
Some branded it "very odd", while others were quick to point out Gemma's reaction to the moment Davide Sanclimenti asked Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu to be his girlfriend in Love Island.
The Italian had presented Ekin-Su with a homemade tiramisu to show his feelings towards her.
Gemma said at the time: "We don't need to do something like that for people to know we're exclusive, I prefer it this way."
As a result, one fan branded Luca and Gemma "muppets" after watching their 'relationship proposal' video.
"The amount of times they snubbed Ekin-Su and Davide and the other couples in the villa saying, 'WE don’t need to make it a big public thing' yet here they are putting on what looks like an advert for Cartier. Pair of muppets," they said.
Another added: "Luca and Gemma are the most PR driven couple this far - every single moment captured with a 3rd person and angles pre-determined."

Someone else said: "Luca is out here doing up proposal, but him and Gemma wanted to make a fuss out of Davide making Ekin Su a tiramisu cake when they because exclusive. Everything is so performative with this couple, they look so awkward together.";
Meanwhile, The Sun revealed this week that Gemma has been headhunted for a new TV series about footballers' daughters.
