That is correct, but because it can mean both in this situation, it's more likely that she is telling a man that she loves him. It should definitely be accepted though.

Many words in Italian do double duty. Besides being the definite article it also means to him and to them. It gets even more complicated with the double object pronouns but don’t go there yet.

It is accepted now - Dec 26, 2019.
However, my problem with this is: "She tells him" makes it a direct object as opposed to "She says to him", no? So the "Gli" can be "lo" as well, right?
