Alicia, 24, shared a series of snaps, including one showing the back of a man's head, and another of her holding hands with someone wearing a black hoodie.
Fans were quick to point out that Ayo owns an identical hoodie, seen on his own profile, and that the man's distinct goatee closely resembles Ayo's.
Alicia is the only daughter of former footballer Paul, 50, and his wife Clair Froggatt.
She plays for London Pulse in the Netball Super League and represents England at international level.
The stunning blonde is also an influencer, boasting 100k followers on Instagram, where she's been known to post a few nude snaps.
Alicia recently hit the headlines after she and her brother opened a gym alongside their father.
Her close relationship with her dad stunned fans in 2021, though, after she shared a viral video to her Instagram.
The clip showed Paul appearing to chew his daughter's toenails, prompting rival supporters to tease the United icon.
Meanwhile, Ayo was coupled up with mental health nurse Mimii Ngulube during his time on Love Island - until bombshell Jess Spencer walked into the villa.
Ayo and Jess came in in fourth place during the final but their time in the villa was shrouded in controversy.

When they left the villa they were still not official but their relationship appeared to be growing deeper.
However, despite picking to stay with Jess, viewers and some of the islanders were convinced that Ayo still had feelings for Mimii.
Ayo's brother even said he wasn't sure about Jess when he entered the villa on family day.
The Sun has contacted Ayo and Alicia's representatives for comment.

Dani Dyer blasts husband Jarrod Bowen in sweary rant after discovering what he did before wedding
Dani wasn't happy with her new West Ham captain husband. Dani Dyer has branded her new husband Jarrod Bowen a 'd**k' after finding out what he and his pal got up to the night before she tied the knot. The ex Love Island star got hitched to the West Ham United captain at the swanky Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire last month. Dani has now branded her new hubby and his mates a "bunch of d****" after she discovered they stayed up playing Playstation the night before their big day, writes The Mirror. Discussing her wedding with dad Danny Dyer on their podcast Live and Let Dyer's podcast, she revealed: "He said he ain't staying with me the night before, he went, 'No, I don't want to stay with you'. "They were all taking, him and their mates, their PlayStations to the hotel. "I was like, 'You're all a bunch of d****. Why are you all excited over playing PlayStation when you're going to be a husband'?" Jarod, 28, insisted that becoming a husband would not stop him from playing video games. Dani continued: "He went, 'Yeah, that don't change nothing, I'm still playing'." And Jarrod went back to playing video games on his PlayStation after they tied the knot. Dani then said: 'Then he said to me, 'What are we doing on the Sunday after the wedding?' "I said, 'I don't know, we'll probably just be hanging, like, we'll come home'. "He went, 'Oh, no, I just didn't know if I could play football champs on the Sunday'. "I went, 'Yeah play football champs, that's fine Jarrod, absolutely'." Dani and Jarrod got engaged in July 2024 during a romantic holiday to Ibiza after being together for three years and they wasted no time and said "I do" in front of close friends and family members the following May. The couple share two-year-old twin daughters, Summer and Star, who were on flower girls duties, while Dani's four-year-old son Santiago - who she has with her ex-partner Sammy Kimmence - and her 11-year-old brother Arty were page boys. The stunning bride wore an incredible £10,000 off-the-shoulder dress, created by the award-winning wedding dress designer Suzanne Neville. Jarrod - who wiped away tears as former EastEnders actor Danny walked his daughter towards the alter - wore a very smart three-piece black suit for the ceremony. The pair locked lips in front of white floral arrangements. Captioning a highlights video of her and Jarrod's wedding day on Instagram, Dani wrote: "The best day of my entire life and a day that I will want to re-live forever."

What it's REALLY like to work with Sir David Attenborough as star launches show ‘that's like stepping into his films'
THE British legend that is Sir David Attenborough has launched a new attraction that feels like stepping straight into his documentaries. From watching a pack of gazelles try to outpace a hungry lion to a lost baby elephant finding their way back to the pack - I fell in love with nature and conservation thanks to my first Attenborough film. 13 13 13 And when I heard he was narrating an epic new 360 experience at London 's Natural History Museum, I knew I had to go. With 24 projectors, 50 speakers and 5 screens later, Our Story with David Attenborough is now opening its doors to the public. It's an immersive experience created by Open Planet Studios (the company that's worked with Sir David to make films like Ocean) alongside the Natural History Museum, a big team of experts, and Sir David Attenborough himself. These powers have come together to create something that feels like stepping inside your TV screen into the world of the nature documentary. I walked into the room and picked my seat, with enough space for about 100 people at a time. With the show projected onto all the walls that surround you, it feels a bit like a 360-degree cinema experience. The show begins in space. The room is dark, as projected stars rush over your body, and you zoom past the planets of our solar system. You eventually reach earth - and what happens next is a 50-minute deep dive into the history of life on our planet. From the first ever microscopic signs of life, to jellyfish, to the moon landing, you watch how life on earth has adapted and evolved into all sorts of wondrous forms. Now I'm not the most scientific of people - I only knew the basics of evolutionary history from school. Britain's 'Tiger King' Dr Terry Moore stars in Snow Leopards of Leafy London doc 13 13 13 But my favourite thing about the show is that it wasn't just pretty animations. Whilst you're being wowed by the visuals, you're also learning about history and the latest science. There's this particular scene that shows how fungi began to grow on earth. Glowing, cartoon-like mushrooms illuminate the screens, climbing over the walls and building pathways onto the floor. "Those mushrooms are based on time-lapse footage of real mushrooms" says Victoria Bromley, director-producer at Open Planet Studios. "And there's a point where we asked 'Do they look too Disney? Are people even going to believe that that's real?'" "But the original footage actually looks like that. Nature is just so unbelievable". That's what makes this immersive experience so different to others I've been to before. It's not a flashy lights show - you're watching modern scientific discoveries come to life before your eyes. After spanning thousands of years, the show soon reaches animal life. 13 13 You're met with a gorilla who feels like they are making direct eye contact with you, and a mother and baby whale dance past the screens which surround you. Whilst the gorilla footage is taken from real shoots with Sir David, the whales were designed with whale behaviour experts, and even whale-noise specialists (yes - that's a thing). Listening to David Attenborough excitedly describe the animals around you was way better than watching the documentaries at home. "What's so lovely about Sir David is that he still has this childlike delight in nature" says Victoria. "I see it in my kids, that fascination with a bug or butterfly. Fossils he adores. It's his ability to bring that enthusiasm, and share it with people". Victoria has been able to work with Sir David on multiple projects and films, and still remembers the first time they worked together. "To get in touch with Sir David, you had to handwrite him a letter. He didn't have email. So I wrote him this letter with all my hopes and dreams". "He loves pangolins, so I wrote and said we're doing this documentary, would you consider doing it? "Then I didn't hear anything, and one day someone came over and said Victoria Bromley, we've got a letter for you'." 13 13 Now, after years of collaborations, they have worked together once again to create this exhibit: Our Story. As the show turns to humans, Sir David runs through the highs and lows of human life on earth - everything from cave drawings to climate change. And in a heart-warming ending that genuinely got me choked up, Sir David shared how after a near century-long career, he is filled with hope for the future. "Let's use our dazzling minds for good" he says. "And work with the world instead of against it". What a hero. Walking out of the viewing room, I felt moved and inspired, but it was also a real shock to the system. It felt like when the credits start to roll at the cinema, and you remember that you have a real life to go back to after losing yourself for an afternoon. (Can't I just stay, watch the gorillas and listen to David forever? Please?) The exhibit is open to the public from Thursday 19th June. Tickets for adults are £20, with tickets for children aged 4-16 priced at £10. If you're a student, you can get in for £16. If you happen to be a member of the museum, you get 50 per cent off. There's multiple showings a day, starting every hour on the hour. There's also an option to book in for a 'relaxed' viewing, a smaller capacity designed for neurodivergent visitors. 13 13 13
