TV beauty Maya Jama must have men falling at her feet.
But the Love Island presenter has revealed she can be ruthless when it comes to romance — and is not afraid to speak her mind.
Maya is dating Manchester City defender Ruben Dias and she was spotted watching him at the Etihad Stadium last week.
Maya said: “I’m such a lover but I am a big leaver as well.
“I know what makes me happy and I know what I like — and this is no disrespect to anyone I’ve been in a relationship with, but if it’s not that then I will leave it.
“My point I always try to make is that I am really, really happy and I have curated this lovely little life for myself and my friends.
“I only want you if you are going to add to that or make it better, otherwise I am not really on it.”
Maya and rapper Stormzy announced their split in July last year — ten years after they first started dating.
In between their on-off relationship, Maya had a whirlwind engagement to basketball player Ben Simmons.
But they split in August 2022, months after he popped the question.
Maya was speaking about her love life in video series Now You Know with Julie Adenuga, which airs from April 1 on My5 and YouTube.
She said: “Dating is a bit of a ball-ache if I am honest because I am like, ‘I can’t go anywhere with you because even if I step out with my friend they are going to say I am dating him’.

“That’s a bit annoying, having to be a secret agent to date.”
Meanwhile, Maya spoke of the decision to leave her home city of Bristol and move to London at 16 to pursue her dream of presenting.
She said: “I was working at Urban Outfitters and Lipsy in Westfield, both of them at the same time.
“During those times when I was living at my family member’s house, it wasn’t a very nice environment — no gas, no electricity and washing at Urban Outfitters in their sinks.
“We didn’t have gas sometimes so it would either be a kettle job or I would just go to the toilet and flannel it up.
“I was in the trenches for a little bit.
“Those times I thought, ‘How long are we going to do this?’.”
It seems that the hard yards certainly paid off for Maya.
MAMMA MAYA!
MAYA JAMA and her mum could easily be mistaken for sisters as they filmed a new advert together.
The presenter proved it’s all in the jeans as she looked effortlessly chic in denims, while Sadie wowed in a white off-shoulder dress in central London.
Maya praised her mum’s age-defying figure after she turned 50 in January.
She said: “You are so fit.
“God bless these genetics.
