    Daniela has starred in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 and The Suicide Squad and a source said: “She is flattered. He is a desirable bachelor and could focus his attention on anyone.”
    Love Islander Arabella, 32, was blindsided when Dias dumped her following a New Year’s break.

    “I’ve dated people I thought were The One, which was a mistake I’ve since learned from.”
    She added: “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.”
    Model Arabella has now launched a fresh hunt for a man after returning to Love Island All Stars.

    Arabella found fame on series five of Love Island in 2019, but since then has been linked to huge stars including partying with Leonardo DiCaprio.
    She met Dias through mutual friends in September last year and they quietly dated for weeks under the radar, before eagle-eyed fans spotted them sharing similar posts of the Eiffel Tower in November.
    But after their split it seems Dias is looking for love closer to home with his compatriot Daniela.

    The footballer’s father Luis Manuel Díaz Jimenez, 58, feared he wouldn’t make it out alive as he endured a terrifying 12-day ordeal after being kidnapped by ELN guerrillas in Colombia.
    He was freed in a handover involving a Colombian priest close to the Venezuelan border on November 9 last year.
    His son continued playing through the harrowing episode, scoring a late goal after coming on as a substitute in Liverpool’s November 5 win over Luton.
    He then returned to Colombia to be reunited with his dad in emotional scenes following his release.
    He went on to score two goals for his country in a historic victory over Brazil in a match his father watched from the stands.
    The ELN, branded a terrorist organisation by the US government and the EU, admitted responsibility for the kidnapping before Luis Manuel’s release.
    Four alleged members of a gang called Los Primos, said to have carried out the kidnap and handed Mr Diaz over to a regional ELN unit called the Northern War Front, were subsequently arrested and are believed to be still in prison awaiting trial.
