Maya Jama awkwardly swerves engagement talk as Mo Gilligan asks about love life during Brit Awards
MAYA Jama awkwardly shut down Mo Gilligan's questions about her love life during the Brit Awards 2022.
As the presenters chatted in between awards Mo, 33, drew attention to the sparkler on 27-year-old Maya's ring finger.
He said: "Maya, how has it been for you tonight - are you enjoying the vibes? I can't have you here without talking about that amazing rock on your finger.
"That is the size of a small studio flat in London."
But Maya clearly wasn't keen to discuss her love life on live TV. After pretending to hide her hand and looking slightly awkward, she replied: "Let's move on."
In December The Sun revealed that Maya is engaged to NBA player Ben Simmons.
He popped the question over Christmas, but the pair had kept the news quiet, only telling close family and friends.
Maya began dating Aussie Simmons, 25, in May and fell in love with the 6ft 11in hunk during trips to the US.
She spent Christmas with the Philadelphia 76ers star at his £3.7million mansion in Moorestown, New Jersey.
And now, with unsettled , Maya, from Bristol, is ready to make a permanent move to the US to be with him in a new city.
It is thought they could move to Los Angeles, as Simmons bought a £15million home there in July.
Confirming the engagement, a source close to the couple said: “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."
