Rumors are swirling around Love Island star Ayo and Alicia Scholes, daughter of Manchester United legend Paul Scholes, as fans continue to connect subtle clues suggesting a budding romance between the two. Speculation gained traction after Alicia posted photos on her social media where followers quickly spotted her wearing what appeared to be Ayo’s signature black hoodie. Adding to the buzz, a man in the background of one of her images had a goatee strikingly similar to Ayo’s, which only intensified the chatter among followers convinced that the reality star and the netball player are dating.
Alicia Scholes, known not only for being the daughter of a Premier League icon, has carved out her own identity in the world of sports. She’s a talented netball player who has represented England on the international stage and currently competes in the Netball Super League with London Pulse. Beyond sports, Alicia has built a significant presence as a social media influencer with a following of over 100K. She’s also been in the spotlight for opening a gym with her father and brother, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit and close-knit family dynamic. One of the more viral moments from her past includes a quirky 2021 video that showed her father chewing her toenail, which left fans both amused and a little stunned, reigniting playful jabs at the former footballer.
As for Ayo, his stint on Love Island was filled with twists. Initially forming a connection with mental health nurse Mimii Ngulube, he later recoupled with bombshell Jess Spencer. The two made it to the finals and finished fourth, though their journey wasn’t without drama. Many fans remained skeptical about Ayo’s feelings, suspecting he still had a soft spot for Mimii even after choosing Jess. That sentiment was echoed by Ayo’s own brother, who expressed doubts about Jess during the show’s family visit.
Now, with Ayo’s post-villa life seemingly linked to Alicia Scholes, fans are watching closely to see if this rumored romance becomes official. While neither Ayo nor Alicia has confirmed the relationship, the online breadcrumbs have only added fuel to the speculation that a new Love Island love story might be unfolding off-screen.
