NBA star Ben Simmons appears to have moved on from Love Island host Maya Jama after the pair reportedly split last year. The athlete, who lives in the US, was spotted with Baby Driver actress Eiza González last night (February 3) as they got dinner in New York City.
The pair are rumoured to be dating, with Eiza, 33, smiling at Ben, 26, as they left popular sushi restaurant BondST. MailOnline reports that they chatted and shared a few laughs as they walked through the streets of the Big Apple after dining with friends.
Eiza was previously dating actor Jason Momoa, who she was introduced to around a year ago after the Aquaman actor had split from Lisa Bonet. They became official shortly after, but reportedly parted ways due to being "just very different people".

Ben was previously engaged to Bristolian bombshell Maya Jama, 28, who recently landed the hottest job on TV as the new host of Love Island. Ben and Maya were first romantically linked in May 2021 and made it official at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships two months later, where they shared a kiss.
Maya spent Christmas 2021 on the other side of the pond at Ben's £3.7million mansion in Moorestown, New Jersey. It was then that Ben got down on one knee and popped the question to Maya, with the former Cotham School pupil spotted with a glistening £800,000 diamond ring on her finger shortly after.
In August 2022, just over a year since Maya and Ben made their relationship official and around eight months after Maya said "yes", rumours began to swirl that the couple had called it quits. A source told The Sun at the time that Maya and Ben had decided to end their relationship due to their conflicting work schedules.
The insider said the pair had realised that "as much as they love each other, their nonstop careers and endless travel made it incredibly impossible to make it work".
Months after the speculation began, Maya confirmed that she was no longer in a relationship during an interview with The Times last month. She told the publication: "I’m really, really single right now. Newly single. It’s only been a month.. but it’s nice."
