Maya Jama responds to Leonardo DiCaprio dating rumours

After she was spotted wearing a 'Leo' necklace

Author: Alex RossPublished 12th Apr 2023

Rumours have been rife in recent weeks that Love Island host Maya Jama had found love again with none other than Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio, something which Maya later fuelled further by wearing a 'Leo' necklace over the weekend.

But just as fans were getting excited about the apparent budding romance between the two, it seems 28-year-old Maya has now shut down the claims, revealing the necklace in question was actually to symbolise her star sign, and not her love for actor Leo...

Taking to Twitter to refer to the story, Maya told fans: 'I’ve been minding my business on holiday & said I wouldn’t respond/pay attention to any of the silly stories anymore but you need to stop now, that is literally my star sign. We are not dating. Move on please'. (sic)

Rumours that the pair were dating first lit up in February when Maya was spotted partying with 48-year-old Leo, with a source later going on to reveal that the two were in 'regular contact'.

However, Maya has now set the record straight.

Before landing the Love Island hosting job last year, Maya announced she'd split from NBA player Ben Simmons, with the model also previously dating Stormzy for a number of years. Meanwhile, The Wolf of Wall Street actor Leo split from his 25-year-old girlfriend Camila Marrone in 2022.
