Maya Jama flashes engagement ring on red carpet for first time at BRIT Awards 2022

Maya Jama has showcased her dazzling engagement ring for the first time on the red carpet.

The TV star, 27, became engaged to basketballer Ben Simmons, 25, over the festive period but has been keeping her stunning rock under wraps - even hiding it under gloves during a recent chat show appearance.

But Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star host Maya made sure the special piece of jewellery was seen as she stepped out on the red carpet for BRIT Awards tonight.

Catching the eye in a belly-baring ensemble, the elegant beauty commanded attention in a black crop top teamed with a low-rise skirt and toted a faux fur stole in order to wrap up when she gets chilly.

Maya continued her glamorous display with her jet black hair styled down and straight and happily paraded her bling by posing with her hand by her face.

In December, The Sun reported that the Philadelphia 76ers player popped the question to the former Radio 1 DJ over Christmas.

An insider told the outlet: "Ben adores Maya and has fallen head over heels for her. He picked up the ring on Jewelers’ Row in the diamond district of Philadelphia the day before he proposed.

"He chose the ring himself and felt he knew exactly what she would want. Maya said yes and they’re both thrilled."

Bristol native Maya reportedly spent Christmas at Ben's £3.7million mansion in Moorestown, New Jersey and is planning to move across the pond for good to be by her beau's side.

Maya went public with the NBA player at Wimbledon 2021 after splitting from British rapper Stormzy in 2019.

Shortly after she turned 25 she left the hitmaker - leaving fans shocked.
