They look super cute together

Author: Georgie HollandPublished 6th Jul 2021

Maya Jama has 'confirmed' her relationship with basketball player Ben Simmons, packing on the PDA at yesterday's (5th July) Wimbledon game. Pictured kissing and cuddling, the pair appeared extremely happy together as they enjoyed the match.

Rumours began to circulate that the pair were dating last month, when Maya and the NBA player were seen leaving a restaurant in London just minutes apart. Now, after attending a pre-tennis lunch together, the couple are thought to have confirmed their relationship with a cheeky kiss in the stands.

Maya reportedly flew out to Philadelphia to visit Ben earlier on this year, with a source telling The Mirror: "Things are hotting up for Maya and Ben. They are really into each other and the fact she flew to Philadelphia to be with him says a lot. They had a fun two weeks together. It’s nice to see her so happy."

Attending the game alongside Ben, who has previously been romantically linked to Kendall Jenner, Maya also shared a not-so-subtle image of the back of Ben's head to her Instagram Story.

If that's not confirmation, we don't know what it...

If we cast our minds back to 2019, rumours began to rise that Maya and Ben were 'getting to know each other', with fans beginning to believe that they were in fact dating. Fuelling the fire, Ben commented multiple fire emojis on one of the TV presenter's Instagram posts.

Maya is yet to officially confirm the news, of course.
