On Thursday, Michael Owen, his lovely wife Louise, and their stunning daughter Gemma arrived to Chester Racecourse in great spirits.

In a blue suit and tie, the former footballer, 42, cut a dashing appearance and clearly had a spring in his step at the Boodles May Festival Ladies Day.

Gemma, his 19-year-old daughter, stole the show as she arrived at the racecourse in a figure-hugging navy blue dress with gold heels.

Louise wore a white lace midi dress with puffball sleeves and cutout portions at the waist, and she looked stunning.

Michael put on a show as he led his family into the parking lot, getting ready for a day in the stands.

The family outing comes after Gemma last month slammed claims she lives off her father’s money as she revealed trolls accused her of using her father’s money to set up her bikini business OG beachwear

Gemma, who is also Team GB dressage champion, blasted the rude messages and said she has been ‘doing this off my own back’.

“In my dressage, if I’m doing well, I get comments like ‘you’re only doing well because daddy bought you an expensive horse’ and then with me trying to set up my own business I get ‘you’re using daddy’s money’,” she explained.

“It’s constant but I want to make it clear to people that with the business side of things it hasn’t been an open wallet.

Speaking to Mailonline , she added her father has been ‘tough’ and told her he isn’t ‘funding this’.

The businesswoman is the oldest of the former Liverpool footballer’s children.

Michael, 42, shares James, 16, Emily, 14, and Jessica, 12, with his wife Louise.

Gemma also revealed her mother was the one who has been encouraging her on the ‘business side’ of her life.

She launched her swimwear collection last month and has been receiving mostly positive reviews.
