Maya Jama has stoked up recent rumours she is dating Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio after being spotted wearing a particular item of jewellery. The Bristolian host of Love Island looked incredible as she wore a striped bikini and a straw hat while enjoying some down time after presenting the ITV show.
While the series nine islanders were sunning themselves in South Africa, Maya was spotted partying with Leo between flights to and from South Africa. The suspected couple were first linked in February, where they partied at exclusive London clubs together, two nights in a row.
However, the Oscar winner has since "denied" reports that Maya is his new partner. But this has not stopped fellow celebrities from speculating on their romance - and now the star has fueled the speculation once again.

In the 28-year-old's recent Instagram story, she appeared glammed up with makeup, a nude lipstick and her hair styled in loose curls. But what many spotted was a necklace she was also wearing which had the word "Leo" in gold letters.
Although her necklace could have a link to Leonardo, Maya's star sign is actually Leo as her birthday is on August 14.
Rumours of Leo and Maya's suspected romance shocked many. According to one source, Leo sent Maya roses after they were introduced via mutual friends.
"Maya and Leo are in regular contact and have been on a string of dates," a source told The Sun. "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 has not addressed the latest serving of love life speculation, but the rumours come following her split from NBA player Ben Simmons, to whom she was engaged. The pair met in spring 2021, with Ben popping the question to Maya that Christmas.
However, Ben and Maya are said to have called it quits last summer, a difficult decision that was reached after the strain of a long-distance relationship and their thriving careers took its toll. A few months later, Maya was spotted at the same events as her ex-boyfriend, rapper Stormzy, on a number of occasions, but rumours that they had rekindled their relationship were shut down by her representatives.
