Love Island star Ayo Odukoya 'dating' Man Utd legend's daughter as they soft launch romance on Instagram - following split from Jess Spencer
The reality star, 25, split from his show girlfriend Jess Spencer shortly after series 11 ended in 2024.
And now he is rumoured to have moved on with Alicia, 24, after eagled-eyes fans noticed her soft launching him on Instagram.
Alicia 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 social media account, and that the man's distinct goatee resembles Ayo's.
MailOnline has contacted Ayo and Alicia for comment.
Paul has three children with his wife of 26 years, Claire - sons Arron and Aiden, and daughter Alicia.
Alicia, who boasts 100k followers on Instagram, plays for London Pulse in the Netball Super League and represents England at international level.
At the end of 2024, Jessica confirmed she had split from show boyfriend Ayo.
The stunner fell in love with the hunk during this summer's series and through things were seemingly going well between them, they were yet to make things official.
However, Jess recently revealed the couple had secretly split when responding to a fan on TikTok questioning why they were not officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
Commenting on a video of Jess showcasing her outfit, the follower said: 'Girl he needs to ask you yesterday.'
However Jess, who recently shut down cheating rumours, confirmed they were no more as she responded: ''Girl' says who?? The internet??
'He doesn't need to ask me anything because we're not together. Let it go.'
Fans were quick to point out that Ayo owns an identical hoodie, seen on his social media account, and that the man's distinct goatee resembles Ayo's
Jess hit back at rumours she had cheated on Ayo, after he had removed all traces of her on his Instagram.
Jess clapped back at a troll on Snapchat who wrote: 'Cheater, you don't deserve Ayo.'
Furious at the accusation, she responded: 'These apps are full of absolute idiots. Where do you get your information from?'
Ayo and Jess bagged fourth place in the villa, after she made a shock arrival during Casa Amor.
During the final episode, Ayo declared his love for Jess, saying: 'I am obsessed with you.. I know we say "Love you" in passing, but the reality of it is that I do love you.'
Though the former couple didn't make an official announcement on the split, Ayo made the news clear on his social media as he removed all pictures of the fashion stylist.
He also edited a caption he wrote after leaving the Love Island villa in which he deleted any reference to Jess.
Jess has since moved on with TOWIE star Roman Hackett's cousin Braydon.
Braydon appeared in five episodes of TOWIE between 2021 and 2022, including the last Christmas special.
Outside of his reality TV appearances, he works in fashion as the founder of Blhack London and the creative director of luxury swimwear brand Lewis James.

Shoppers can get it as part of the LookFantastic set with two other products for £38.

Drawing of pet squirrel by King George III's would-be assassin to go on display
An illustration of a pet squirrel by the would-be assassin of King George III is to go on display for the first time at the world's oldest psychiatric hospital. The early 19th century drawing, which was accompanied by an ode about the pet, was created by James Hadfield and will be exhibited at Bethlem Museum Of The Mind in London. Hadfield attempted to shoot King George III at London's Drury Lane Theatre but missed and was arrested on the spot. Epitaph, Of My Poor Jack, Squirrel, is one of many pet epitaphs by Hadfield, who was a patient at Bethlem. He suffered delusions about the end of the world and became convinced he must sacrifice himself to save mankind. Parliament rushed through an act to ensure Hadfield was treated as a 'criminal lunatic' and consigned to Bethlem. Hadfield spent the remaining 41 years of his life in a cell at the hospital, where he was allowed pets and attracted many visitors, who he sold his epitaphs to. The piece is one of three versions the museum holds, with this version, which says Jack died in an accidental fall after being startled by a cat, having never been on display before. Following the attempted assassination in 1800, Hadfield's lawyer successfully argued that he was a 'religious maniac' who was 'incurably insane' and not responsible for his actions. The drawing will be displayed as part of an exhibition, Between Sleeping And Waking: Hospital Dreams And Visions. Also on show will be artwork by Boris Johnson's mother Charlotte Johnson Wahl, and the dream diaries of psychiatrist Dr Edward Hare. Colin Gale, director of Bethlem Museum Of The Mind, said: 'Between Sleeping And Waking has opened up exciting perspectives on artworks, many of which have been in storage for years. 'It is striking that an entire spectrum of dreams identified by sleep researchers is reflected within our museum's collections.' Between Sleeping And Waking: Hospital Dreams And Visions will run from August 14 to November 22 at the museum, and entry is free.

Love Islanders spotted on romantic date after weeks of rumours – despite not even meeting in the famous villa
Just this week, eagle-eyed fans spotted a clue that the pair could be more than friends Hard launch? Love Islanders spotted on romantic date after weeks of rumours – despite not even meeting in the famous villa Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TWO Love Island stars have been spotted out on a romantic date, after weeks of rumours. The pair weren't on the same series of the show, but certainly seem to have grown close after the recent series wrapped. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Emily Moran and Ciaran Davies have been spotted out together Credit: TikTok 7 Rumours have been swirling about a potential romance Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 7 Ciaran rose to fame on the show last year Credit: ITV The Sun was the first to report that these two former Islanders, who appeared on different series', had become close. Last month we revealed how Welsh Love Island stars Emily Moran, 24, and Ciaran Davies, 22, had been chatting to each other. Now, the Welsh Islanders have been sighted together, walking beside each other in town on a day out. They were spotted from behind, and eagled-eyed Love Island fans have noticed that Emily is wearing the same outfit that she was in a TikTok posted earlier that day. The brunette beauty could be seen in a black top and jeans while heading out with a black clutch bag - the same outfit she's spotted in while out with Ciaran. Just this week, eagle-eyed fans spotted a clue that the pair could be more than friends. They both posted a similar photo from the same bar in Cardiff - just one hour apart. The pair were both at Golf Fang in the city centre last night. Ciaran posted his picture - which features a bright pink Barbie style car - at around 9pm, and then Emily posted an almost identical picture at 10pm. 'Get them off my screen' rage Love Island fans as Megan and Conor's hideaway romp leaves devastated Emily in tears Discussing this, one fan wrote: "Definitely not a coincidence!" This one said: "I feel like this is a perfect pairing." A third said: "These two photos are such a giveaway!" While another added: "We know Ciaran loves his Welsh girls." Emily, who hails from Aberdare in Wales was dumped from the villa after Tommy Bradley brought back blonde bombshell Lucy from Casa Amor. While, Ciaran, who is also from Wales, was coupled up with Nicole Samuel in last year's series, with the pair parting ways a few months after the final. The Sun previously revealed that there was a spark between the pair, after they connected when Emily was brutally dumped from the villa. A source exclusively told us at the time: "Ciaran initially approached Emily when she left the show just to congratulate her and stuff on how she was and handled herself on the show towards the end, which got them to talking. "Both have been getting to know each other on a more romantic level and they're looking to see how things go." The source added how at the moment since coming out of the villa, Emily is "taking every opportunity she can" especially with brand deals. They noted that Ciaran "is absolutely fine" with her focusing on getting brand deals and making a name for herself "because that's what everyone does when they get out". The source continued: "Emily has no intention of moving back to Australia as of yet as she's focused on her work and recent brand deals here in the UK. "But maybe who's to say that something romantically might also sway her decision to stay in the UK. "Apparently she has something big on the horizon with some brand." 7 Fans noticed Emily posted a TikTok in the same outfit that day Credit: TikTok / emillymorann 7 Just this week, eagle-eyed fans spotted a clue that the pair could be more than friends when they posted the same photo Credit: instagram/@emilyxmorann 7 Emily and Tommy had a bumpy romance Credit: Shutterstock Editorial
