Love Island’s Arabella Chi has sparked romance rumours with this footballer following her recent split from Adam Maxted.
The reality TV couple split up just five weeks after leaving the All-Stars villa.
The pair were previously accused of faking their relationship after not being seen together since leaving South Africa.

Initially, the couple slammed the rumours by continuing to like and comment on each other’s posts.
However, a source close to the couple revealed how the pair tried to make it work but “work got in the way.”
In pictures published by The Sun, the influencer can be seen on a date with footballer Vinicius Souza.
The 33-year-old was spotted going for coffee with the Sheffield United midfielder who is 9 years her junior this week.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Arabella and Vinicius were spotted enjoying a cosy coffee date during the day and he waited with her until she met a friend.”
“They are just getting to know each other but really get on. They are trying to keep things on the down low – Arabella is worried people will think she’s just with him because he’s a footballer.”
Vinicius who hails from Brazil, joined Sheffield United in August last year and signed a four-year deal.
Arabella previously dated Manchester City centre-back Ruben and branded the romance “a mistake” after it ended.
The 33-year-old was first linked to the Manchester City ace in November, but the sports star suddenly dumped her following a New Year’s break earlier this month.

Before Arabella entered the All-Stars Villa she took a swipe at her former footballer flame.
The model told The Sun on Sunday at the time: “Last year was probably my unluckiest when it came to finding the one. I’ve been so unlucky in love.
“I’ve dated people I thought at the time were the one, which was a mistake I’ve since learnt from.”
“What I’ve learnt from dating last year is that you think you know someone but you don’t really know them at all.
“I dated people that perhaps, looking back, weren’t best suited to me.”
Upon her return to the Love Island villa, she said: “I might have recently come out of a relationship but I’m ready to meet the man of my dreams.
“I don’t think there has ever been a better time after the dating mistakes I made last year.”
