The Ben Simmons saga was the biggest talking point of the summer. Simmons demanded a trade earlier last August, but the 76ers were adamant in getting an equally good player in return. That has led to a long standoff between the 76ers and Simmons. However, with so much going on with his career, Simmons has got engaged.
According to the Sun, 76ers star Ben Simmons and famous TV host Maya Jama are engaged secretly. Maya Jama is a 27-year-old TV host who has co-presented BBC One’s ‘Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer’ and ‘Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star’.

According to a source from the Sun, ‘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.’
Finally, the couple is engaged. However, NBA Twitter had different plans, and they came out with some hilarious reactions to the news.

Ben Simmons previously dated Kendall Jenner. However, the pair split up in May 2019 with the saying that their relationship had ‘ran its course’. However, Kendall is currently dating another NBA superstar, Devin Booker. Simmons, on the other side, has been very close to Maya in the past year.
“He chose the ring himself and felt he knew exactly what she would want. Maya said yes and they’re both thrilled,” the source added.
Ben Simmons and Maya are having a good time together and reportedly spent the Christman together. Maya is a People’S Choice Award winner for the best-dressed star in the UK & Ireland in 2019. She has also hosted the 2020 EE BAFTA red carpet. It’s good to see Simmons finally having a good time with his partner. We wish them all the best.
