Torn Gemma caught up in love triangle
With three men fighting for her affections, reality star Gemma Collins can’t decide what’s best for her future
❛SHE HELD AN ‘EMERGENCY LOVE SUMMIT’ WITH PALS TO DECIDE WHO SHE SHOULD BE WITH❜
She excitedly S Tweeted last week about potentially marrying her Celebs Go Dating co-star, Laurence Hearn, just days after spending Valentine’s Day with her jailbird ex, Stephen Mortimer, and also confessing her love for on/off boyfriend, James “Arg” Argent.
And pals say Gemma Collins, 37, is stuck in a love triangle and can’t decide whether to follow her heart and give Stephen another chance; go with her head and try to make things work with Laurence, or fall back into Arg’s arms and risk being hurt again.
A source says, “Gemma’s waited so long to meet someone and now she has three men interested in her, it’s sent her into a tailspin and she’s not sure what to do next. She even called an ‘emergency love summit’ and invited her close pals over to help her decide who she should be with. She’s also been seeing a psychic to get some clarity on the situation.
CONFUSED
“The consensus was that Laurence was the best option, but Gem isn’t sure and says she feels confused and torn.”
The TOWIE star told Closer last year how she was turning her back on gangsters, saying, “I’m not going to go out with a librarian who’s going to bore me, but I’m just looking for someone with good morals, good values and a good heart.”
However, pals say she couldn’t help but fall for Stephen again after he spent weeks wooing her with lavish gifts and romantic love letters.
Stephen – who’d already spent two years in prison for GBH when he started dating Gemma in 2015 – was jailed again the following year for stealing jewellery in a home raid just months after he split from her, amid claims he cheated on her.
But pals say he’s told Gemma he’s a changed man and wants to start a family with her.
The source says, “Stephen persuaded Gem to give him one more chance and whisked her to a posh hotel in Hertfordshire. Gem says there’s something about him she can’t resist and, while she’s fully aware of his past, the promise of him giving her a baby lured her back into his arms. She said their night together was full of romance and passion. Stephen spoiled her rotten with her favourite food, wine and gifts, and he was the perfect gentleman.”
Meanwhile, last month, Gemma revealed how she was “so in love” with TOWIE co-star Arg, 30 – who’s currently staying at a rehab retreat in Thailand – she was already choosing baby names in the hope of starting a family with him. They spent Christmas together, but have kept fans guessing about their on/off romance ever since.
DESPERATE FOR A BABY
Clutching her stomach in a post on Instagram last week, the star gushed, “I will soon be happy and get my happy ever after with a baby...i can’t wait for the day to announce I’m pregnant.”
And pals say she’s still pining for Arg and is desperate for him to father her child. A source says, “Gemma’s been speaking to Arg in Thailand and said she was even texting him from the hotel
