Australian basketball player Ben Simmons was recently spotted with his new girlfriend Maya Jama at Wimbledon on Monday. The duo was photographed kissing and cuddling while watching Novak Djokovic and Cristian Garin battle out on the court.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple was out and about at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club post-match. They reportedly went shopping later in the day.
The public appearance comes nearly two weeks after Ben Simmons and Maya Jama were seen in the same restaurant and reportedly left in the same car. The duo sparked romance rumors last year after the NBA star left a comment on Jama’s Instagram post for Halloween.
Reports suggest that Jama left for Philadelphia to meet Simmons in May. Simmons was previously in a relationship with KUWTK star Kendall Jenner. The duo parted ways in 2019. Meanwhile, Jama was reportedly dating rapper Stormzy before calling it quits the same year.
