‘Love Island’ host Maya Jama responds to Leonardo DiCaprio dating rumors
“Love Island” host Maya Jama shut down rumors that she and Leonardo DiCaprio are dating after being spotted wearing a “Leo” necklace.
“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,” Jama tweeted Monday.
“that is literally my star sign. We are not dating. Move on please,” she added.
In a follow-up post, the 28-year-old stated that news outlets had “been dragging the story for the past week” and that the Daily Mail’s report about her necklace was the “last straw.”
Jama and DiCaprio, 48, first sparked dating rumors in February when the Sun reported that they had partied together in West London two nights in a row during the 2023 BAFTA Awards weekend.
At the time, the outlet said the English TV presenter “had a really late night” with the “Titanic” star and his friends.

The Sun then reported in April that Jama and DiCaprio were “secretly dating” after meeting up in London, New York and Paris.
“Maya and Leo are in regular contact and have been on a string of dates,” a source claimed to the newspaper. “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.”
Last August, The Post confirmed that Jama called off her engagement to NBA player Ben Simmons due to their busy schedules and the distance between them.
“It’s been a difficult time for them,” a source close to the former couple told The Post. “While they both care for each other so much, they truly gave it their all and realize that they just come from two different worlds. They now understand they don’t have the time they thought to dedicate to this relationship.”
DiCaprio, for his part, ended his four-year relationship with Camila Morrone in August.
Since then, the Academy Award winner has been enjoying the single life and has been linked to several other women, including models Victoria Lamas and Gigi Hadid.
