Fans of Maya Jama have been sent into a frenzy after the Love Island presenter was spotted holding hands with a famous actor whilst soaking up the sun in Italy. In a montage posted to TikTok by alessandrokkiblu, Maya poses for a selfie with the fan in the streets of Palermo, Sicily.
In another clip, 28-year-old Maya can be seen entwining her hand with Michele Morrone's. The Italian actor, 32, is best known for his role as Escudero "Massimo" in the 365 Days films.
Exuding confidence and style, Maya looks stunning in a summery floral fitted dress in the video, whilst Michele looks classy in a crisp white shirt, pale silk neckerchief and black belted suit trousers. Although it's easy for fans to get ahead of themselves, it looks as though the pair were simply working together, as it appears they were shooting something, rather than heading out on a secret date.

Maya, who grew up in Bristol and went to Cotham School, tends to keep her lips sealed when it comes to romance rumours, although she did take the time to shut down "silly stories" in April after it was suggested that she was dating Hollywood A-Lister, Leonardo DiCaprio. Maya and Leo, 48, were papped partying together on several occasions in London and Paris, and were rumoured to have met up whilst Maya was on a work trip to New York.
Meanwhile, Michele's personal life has also had its fair share of speculation. The actor, who starred in racy Netflix drama 365 Days, sent fans spiralling after he was spotted getting very friendly with Khloe Kardashian last year, although it was later revealed that the photograph had been staged.
Last summer, Maya became single after dating 26-year-old NBA star Ben Simmons, who is based in the US, for a little over a year. The pair got engaged over Christmas 2021, but called things off before they could say "I do", with a source telling The Sun in August: "As much as they love each other, their nonstop careers and endless travel made it incredibly impossible to make it work".
Shortly after her split from Ben, it was rumoured that Maya had rekindled her flame with her ex-boyfriend, Stormzy. Maya dated the rapper for four years until 2019, with the former couple spotted at the same events in late 2022 before Maya's team shut the rumours down.
2023 truly appears to be Maya's year, with the former Radio 1 DJ making her debut as the third host of Love Island in January. The star returned to present her first ever summer series earlier this month, with the series ten launch enjoying a whopping audience of three million tuning in to watch Maya deliver a huge twist after strutting into the stunning Majorcan villa in slow motion.
