Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley made a savage dig at Leonardo DiCaprio as the actor "denied" dating Maya Jama. Rumours began to swirl earlier this week suggesting the Hollywood actor, 48, and Bristol-born Love Island host, 28, were an item after being papped partying together several times over the course of a few weeks.
Leo and Maya were first linked back in February, when they spent two consecutive late nights out together in London. As the biggest names in the film industry celebrated the BAFTAs, the pair left Chiltern Firehouse in Marylebone, where they partied with fellow stars Jamie Foxx and Taron Egerton, within minutes of each other.
The following night, Leo and Maya both attended an event sponsored by British Vogue And Tiffany & Co, this time at the exclusive Annabel's in Berkeley Square, Mayfair. In early March, they were spotted leaving Paris club Le Piaf together.

A few weeks later, Maya jetted to New York on a work trip, and is said to have met up with the Titanic actor whilst Stateside, later posing with a big bouquet of roses on Instagram. A source told The Sun: "Maya and Leo are in regular contact and have been on a string of dates.
"They have both recently come out of long-term relationships so neither of them are rushing into anything - they are having fun and seeing how it goes. They live in different countries and Maya has had a long-distance relationship before and knows it’s tough, so they are taking things a day at a time."
Leo has reportedly shut down rumours that he is dating Maya, but his love life was a hot topic of discussion on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, April 4, reports The Express. As showbiz reporter Richard Arnold told ITV viewers that Leo and Maya were a potential couple, Madeley made a dig at the Oscar winner, who seems to only date women under the age of 25.
Madeley said: "I didn't know he did long-term relationships."
"Well, I think if you ripen beyond the age of 25 you might be entering a bit of a minefield when it comes to dating Leonardo DiCaprio," Arnold replied.
Until last summer, Maya was engaged to NBA star Ben Simmons, who she was first linked to in spring 2021. It was then speculated that Maya was back with her ex Stormzy in November after they were spotted at the same events, although these claims were shut down by her representatives.
