Maya Jama Sets Her Sights on a YouTube Empire: Following Molly-Mae's Successful Path
LOVE ISLAND HOST MAYA JAMA'S SECRET PLAN TO LIGHT UP YOUTUBE AND MAKE A FORTUNE
In a shocking move, Love Island host Maya Jama is reportedly planning to ditch her TV presenting gig and launch her own YouTube series. The 30-year-old's decision comes after she dropped a sassy hint on social media, calling out "lurking likers" - aka the silent audience members who are secretly keeping tabs on her content.
Maya's move into the influencer world is not surprising, given her massive online following of over 3.2 million fans. But what's even more intriguing is that she's been taking inspiration from none other than Molly-Mae Hague, who has made a fortune by turning her brand into a business on social media.
Sources close to Maya claim that she's been eyeing up the influencer world for some time now and wants to capitalize on her massive online presence. And with good reason - just last month, she racked up an impressive 115 million views, including over 10 million views on a holiday carousel featuring her Manchester City footballer beau Ruben Dias.
But what's really got tongues wagging is that Maya has hinted at taking the next step in her relationship with Ruben. Insiders claim that the couple is getting serious and are even considering moving in together. And it seems Ruben has already made his intentions clear - he reportedly secured things for the couple by being honest about his feelings early on.
"Ruben made sure from the start that his intentions with Maya were clear, he knows he's struck gold and wants to make sure Maya knows how seriously he feels about her," a source spills. "Being honest and open about what he wants from their future was the secret weapon in securing a future with Maya."
But it seems Maya isn't ready to leave London just yet - she wants to split her time between London and Manchester to spend more time with Ruben. And it's clear that she's already got his support, with sources claiming they've been enjoying romantic getaways together.
The couple's love story is a whirlwind one - they were first linked in November last year, just four months after Maya and Stormzy announced their split. But things have clearly heated up since then, with Maya even sharing loved-up snaps of the pair on Instagram.
And it seems Ruben is just as smitten - he was spotted trying to fly under the radar at a recent football game, but ended up getting caught up in the moment and leaning into Maya's neck for a kiss. Aw!
But what about Maya's TV presenting gig? Sources close to her claim that she'll be focusing on her YouTube series full-time, leaving her hosting duties with Love Island behind. And we have to wonder - will this move pay off for Maya, or will it end up being a costly mistake?
