Love Island presenter Maya Jama has finally spoken out about the ‘silly’ rumours that she is dating Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, calling recent stories the ‘last straw’

Many fans often speculate about the love lives of their favourite celebrities, with constant rumours swirling about breakups and surprising pairings.

Love Island presenter Maya Jama is no stranger to this aspect of fame, having dated singer Stormzy and NBA star Ben Simmons, but a recent rumoured match-up with Leonardo DiCaprio has caused her to speak out.

The 28-year-old was spotted on holiday wearing a gold ‘Leo’ necklace, adding fuel to the fire that she is seeing the Hollywood actor – but Maya has said the rumour needs to “stop”, calling the stories “silly”.

Maya, who is best known as host of reality show Love Island, was linked to the 48-year-old as a source insisted that he sent her flowers after mutual friends introduced them.

This was followed by rumours that the pair had been on dates together, which the actor quickly denied.

Confused fans, however, reignited suspicion after Maya posted a video of herself on holiday in a bikini – wearing a necklace that said ‘Leo’.

This forced the presenter to shut down the rumours once and for all and she quote tweeted an article about her necklace.

She said: “I’ve been minding my business on holiday & said I wouldn’t respond/pay attention to any of the silly stories anymore but you need to stop now, that is literally my star sign.

“We are not dating. Move on please.”

Maya clarified that the necklace was in reference to her star sign, which is Leo as her 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day falls on August 14, rather than a tribute to her supposed beau Leo DiCaprio.

Responding to a fan in a follow up tweet, Maya shared: “They been dragging the story for the past week, this was my last straw.”

Many praised the Love Island host for shutting down the rumours, saying her response was “well said” and that being famous “must be exhausting”.

Some jokingly pointed out that Maya was older than many of the women Leo has officially dated, a common accusation levied at the 48-year-old actor.

The rumours were started as an insider claimed to The Sun that Leonardo and Maya were in regular contact but weren’t “rushing into anything” and were “having fun and seeing how things go”.

The insider said: “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.”

Leo has been linked to several women working in and around Hollywood, after his break up with Camila Morrone, 25.

Models Gigi Hadid, 27, and Eden Polani, 19, were also mentioned in connection to the 48-year-old actor before Maya, but nothing about his relationship status has been confirmed.
