I have an array containing various substring

array=(Jack Jessy Harold Ronald Boston Naomi)

and i have a string containing a paragraph

text=" Jack is maried with Jessy, they have 3 children Ronald Boston and Naomi and Harold is the last one "

I want to check using bash if the text contain all the strings that are inside the array but in a different way at the moment I can get them like that

if [[ $text == *${array[0]}* && $text == *${array[1]}* && $text == *${array[2]}* && $text == *${array[3]}* && $text == *${array[4]}* && $text == *${array[5]}*  ]]; then
  echo "It's there!"
fi
