Former England and Liverpool hero Michael Owen was joined by his wife Louise and oldest daughter Gemma for a family day out at Chester Races.

The trio were dressed to the nines for the Boodles May Festival Ladies Day at the racecourse, with Michael, 42, looking dapper in a blue suit as he waved at fans.

Gemma, 19, who runs her own swimwear business after also making a name for herself as a Team GB dressage rider, stole the show in a stunning figure-hugging blue dress paired with strappy gold sandals.

Mum Louise was all smiles as she walked alongside her daughter, wearing a beautiful white lace dress with Christian Louboutin heels and a Louis Vuitton clutch.

Michael and Louise have been married for 17 years – the pair became childhood sweethearts after first meeting in primary school.

They got engaged on Valentine’s Day, which is also Louise’s birthday, followed by a small and private ceremony in 2005.

The couple have four children together, Gemma Rose, James Michael, Emily May and Jessica.

The love of horses inherited by Gemma runs in the family – Louise has been riding horses since the age of seven, and the family have grounds at their home to keep rescue horses.

Gemma launched her luxury swimwear brand, OG Beachwear, in February, which has clothing ranging from £50 to £145.

She wrote on social media as she launched the business: “People that know me will know that this has been a dream of mine for a long time and it feels amazing to finally have it up and running!”

It was quite the career change for Gemma – but she explained why she made the move from equestrian dressage to running her own business on the brand’s website. “Up until recent years I believed that [dressage] was the career path for me,” she explained.

“But as much as I love my sport and have dedicated many years to it, upon leaving education I decided to take a different career path.

“My other passions are travel and fashion and that is how the dream of having my own swimwear label was born.”

Gemma said that the garments available at OG Beachwear are designed to have “a luxury feel with a youthful edge”, after she struggled to find swimsuits that suited her tastes.
