Love Island’s Arabella Chi grows close to Premier League footballer – just two weeks after Adam Maxted split
LOVE Island star Arabella Chi has moved on from Adam Maxted – with a Premier League footballer.
The 33-year-old is getting to know Sheffield United midflielder Vinicius Souza, just months after splitting form another footy star – Ruben Dias.
A source said: “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.”
Brazilian Vincius joined the club, which his currently bottom of the league, last summer
Arabella’s last footballer boyfriend – Ruben – plays for Manchester City, who are near the top of the league.
Arabella hinted at her new romance yesterday as she revealed she had been sent a large bunch of flowers.
She was left heartbroken at the start of the year after Ruben, 26, gave her the boot after they returned from a New Year getaway.
The pair had been dating since September, with the matchmaking show alumni jetting from her Ibiza home to Manchester to spend time with the Portuguese defender.
Shortly after she entered the Love Island All Stars villa where she had a rocky ride – before connecting with Adam Maxted.
The pair were left fuming when they got the boot and Arabella gushed about happy she was to meet Adam.
She said at the time: “At times I thought in the villa, ‘How am I being as unlucky in love in here as outside?’
“But when Adam walked through the door finally my luck changed. I am now lucky in love!”
However, the pair struggled to make it work on the outside and failed to meet up even once.
A source close to Adam said: “They genuinely tried to make it work but every time they arranged to meet up, work got in the way.
“They’re going to stay friends.”
Arabella’s rep declined to comment.
