Bristolian bombshell Maya Jama is reportedly dating Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio after spending time with him on both sides of the Atlantic in recent months. Maya, whose exciting new role as the face of Love Island has cemented her as a household name, partied with Leo two nights in a row back in February.
The suspected couple were spotted having fun at Chiltern Firehouse in London alongside fellow stars Jamie Foxx and Taron Egerton. Maya, 28, left the Marylebone venue in a svelte black dress at around 3:30am, with Titanic actor Leo, 48, leaving just a few minutes after her.
The following night, Maya and Leo lived it up at an event sponsored by British Vogue and Tiffany and Co at exclusive Mayfair members' club Annabel's. A source told The Sun at the time that the pair were "two of the last people left standing at the late-night event".

In March, Maya jetted to New York City for work, where she made time to bond with her suspected new boyfriend, who was also in the city on business. After being introduced to one another through mutual friends, Leo is said to have sent the presenter, who grew up in Bristol and attended Cotham School, roses.
Maya and Leo were also photographed with friends as they left the Le Piaf club in Paris last month, and are now planning to spend even more time together, according to a source. Speaking to The Sun, the insider claimed: "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 confirmed in an interview with The Sunday Times in January that she was "really, really single" following her split from NBA star Ben Simmons. The couple were an item for around a year; they met in London in May 2021 and separated the following summer, calling off their engagement.
Ben asked Maya to marry her whilst she spent Christmas 2021 at his multi-million dollar New Jersey mansion, with the former Radio 1 DJ spotted flaunting an £800,000 engagement ring a few weeks later. Rumours of their split came in August, with a source telling the New York Post that, despite loving one another, Ben and Maya realised they didn't "have the time they thought to dedicate to this relationship", with the long-distance element of their relationship clearly proving difficult.
