TV presenter Maya Jama is reportedly engaged!
It's rumoured that the Walk The Line host and US basketball star Ben Simmons have taken their relationship to the next level over the festive period.
The Sun have reported that the Philadelphia 76ers player, 25, popped the question to the former Radio 1 DJ over Christmas, but the pair have decided to keep the news low-key for now.
The publication claims that the pair, who went public with their romance earlier this year, have only told close friends and family the alleged happy news.
Maya, 27, spent Christmas at Ben's £3.7million mansion in Moorestown, New Jersey and it's rumoured following the festive proposal, the Bristol born babe is ready to relocate to America.
A source claiming to be close to the stars told The Sun : "Ben adores Maya and has fallen head over heels for her. He picked up the ring on Jewelers’ Row in the diamond district of Philadelphia the day before he proposed.
"He chose the ring himself and felt he knew exactly what she would want. Maya said yes and they’re both thrilled."
The insider went on to add that the sports star was "nervous" about asking for the stunning presenter's hand in marriage, as she turned down an ex's proposal in the past.
They also claimed the happy couple confirmed the news at a small family gathering last week.
The Mirror has contacted representatives for Maya Jama for comment.
Maya went public with the NBA player at Wimbledon earlier this year after speculation about their romance circulated.
As the Glow Up host turned 27 in style, with an exotic holiday in an undisclosed idyllic location, the basketball player paid tribute to his partner on social media.
“Happy birthday to this beautiful girl @mayajama,” the 25-year-old captioned a cute clip of the star on his Instagram Stories.
Prior to finding love with Ben, Maya dated British rapper Stormzy - breaking up in 2019.
The two stars had been one of the most popular couple in showbiz prior to their shock split, with the stunning presenter moving out of their shared home shortly after her 25th birthday celebrations.
Stormzy seemed to address rumours he had strayed in his subsequent music releases - with his song Lessons said to be about the heartbreaking split and lyrics confessing that he had “done the dirt” on the TV star.
However, the award-winning musician later revealed he hadn’t been unfaithful throughout his relationship but instead, admitted to showing "disrespect" to his famous ex.
"If there was a box of what a good woman is, she ticks every one, she's amazing. But I didn't cheat on her. I actually didn't cheat,” he told HOT 97 at the start of 2020.
"Don't get it twisted, I'm still definitely an a***hole. 100%, that's a fact. I'm an a***hole.
"But I thought now was a good time to say that I didn't cheat on my ex."
Maya and Stormzy seem to be on friendly terms these days - even being pictured together catching up at the 24th GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2021 in September.
