Maya Jama’s Scottish roots as Leonardo DiCaprio dating rumours ramp up

Maya Jama has hit headlines once again amid rumours she's dating Leonardo DiCaprio.

According to reports, the Love Island host is secretly dating DiCaprio, although the Hollywood star denied the claims.

The Wolf of Wall Street actor hit back at the romance rumours after a source claimed the pair had allegedly been enjoying time together on a number of dates across the globe.

And although the pair haven't yet been spotted in Scotland, the 28-year-old telly star still has some interesting Scottish links.

Revealing that her grandad originates from a small town in Clackmannanshire, near Stirling, the presenter admitted that Scotland has a "special place in her heart" as she backed the national side at the Euros in 2020.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: “My grandad is from Dollar in Scotland and they have a special place in my heart, so I’d really like Scotland to do well.”

The same year, Maya caused chaos on Instagram after posting a snap sporting a Rangers kit which she was gifted from Scottish pals.

The star later deleted the post and confirmed she was remaining neutral - after both Rangers and Celtic fans shared their opinions in the comments.

She wrote on Instagram: "Loool I bloody love the Scottish but I've now realised I have to be mutual in the football team department if I don't want world war 3 in my mentions."

Maya's Scottish links don't stop there, in 2021 she was snapped partying with Lewis Capaldi at the Brit Awards, claiming Capaldi "shoulda been nominated".

After taking over from Laura Whitmore in this year's Winter Love Island in South Africa, Maya has fast become TV's hottest property right now.
