ReplyDeleteI love Gemma! Another one of my favorites!!! You are the best XO
ReplyDeleteGemma had probably already been dating Heath WAY BEFORE they finally came out to their families as a couple in December/Janaury 2008 as Heath and Michelle (his ex-girlfriend) had actually been living separately for nearly a year before the official split. It's so sad that Heath died just 3 weeks after he spent Christmas with Gemma. She seems to have taken it very hard, which is understandable. I wish her the best in whatever she wants to do. I personally would like to see her do more charity and film work.
