TV presenter and very much woman-of-the-moment Maya Jamahas just given the world another sneaky clue that she is currently dating NBA star Ben Simmons.

On Thursday, Maya shared a snap of Ben on her Instagram story, accompanied with some cute as hell emojis.

The original snap Ben shared with his followers was captioned, “They love me. They love me not. They love me. They love me not.”

Maya was first linked to Ben, who’s the ex of supermodel Kendall Jenner, back in 2019 but things between them seem to have ramped up a little more since late last year.

Not only have eagle-eyed Maya fans noticed many flirty Instagram comment exchanges, the pair have reportedly been seen shopping together in the US and wearing each other’s clothes. Fans are also convinced a recent photo of Maya, looking gorgeous as per usual, was taken in Ben’s swanky kitchen.
