Leonardo DiCaprio has shut down rumours that he is dating Love Island host Maya Jama after the pair were romantically linked. The Oscar winner, 48, has denied that he and Maya, 28, are an item after they were spotted partying together in London and Paris.
Last month, during a work trip to New York, Maya is said to have paid the Hollywood actor a visit, something that has now been denied, according to MailOnline. It was reported on Monday (April 3) that the alleged couple got to know one another after being introduced by mutual friends in February, with Leo reportedly sending the Bristolian beauty a bouquet of red roses.
Around a month ago, Leo and Maya were photographed leaving the same club in Paris, Le Piaf, with a group of friends. The shutting down of dating claims comes after a source told The Sun that the pair were in "regular contact".

The insider alleged: "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 certainly been wooing her though, he loves spending time with her."
Maya was in a long-term relationship with NBA star Ben Simmons until last summer, when their engagement was reportedly called off, apparently due to the distance between them and their individual work commitments. In an interview with The Sunday Times in January, just days before she slo-mo walked into the Love Island villa for the very first time, Maya revealed after much speculation that she was "really, really single".
Prior to her year-long relationship with Ben, Maya dated Stormzy for four years until 2019. The former flames were rumoured to have picked things back up in late 2022 after they were spotted hugging at a concert at London's O2 Arena, and photographed leaving parties within minutes of each other, although reports of their relationship resuming were later quashed by Maya's representatives.
Leo split from his long-term girlfriend Camila Morrone, 25, last year, after five years together. Prior to rumours circulating that he was dating Maya, he was reportedly seeing Gigi Hadid, 27, but things fizzled out recently as she "prioritises being a mom" to her daughter, Khai, who she shares with former One Direction member Zayn Malik.
