Yet while all the chat on-screen has centred on the Love Island alum coupling up, off the box, Maya has a blossoming romance of her own.
Fans now reckon it is footballer Ruben Dias, 27, who has forked out to ship the stunning bouquet overseas.
The ruby red roses were captured wrapped in matching red paper.
A note penned on white card was sandwiched between the stems yet, on the Instagram snap, the words were illegible.

Without addressing who they were from, Maya then continued to post snippets of her day.
She captured a tranquil lake filled with lily pads followed by a video showing her riding a bike.
Yet fans are convinced they are "from Ruben" after Maya spoke out on their relationship.
Ahead of All Stars she addressed the speculation and said: "This time it’s not about my love life, it’s about theirs — let’s focus on the Islanders."
