In a statement, Aliana's rep has denied what some are speculating - that Aliana and Liam got together while he was still with Maya.
Her rep told E! News, 'Aliana is very taken back by the accusations that have been made regarding a relationship with Liam while he was still engaged or involved with [his] ex fiancé.'

'Under no circumstances would Aliana have involved herself in a public relationship as such if there was any truth to the comments that have been made.'
'She is very protective of her personal life and has nothing more to say at the moment other than she is very happy and does not wish to discuss this situation moving forward.'

News of Liam and Maya's split came shortly after she asked fans on social media to stop sending her pictures of him with another woman.
She made the comments under a post, which she was tagged in, featuring pictures of Aliana and Liam looking very cosy.
Maya wrote, 'I love all of the fans so much but please stop sending me these pictures of my fiancé wrapped around another woman.'

'This is not me and it's hard enough knowing this has happened without seeing it. Enough now.'
You might be wondering who Aliana is. Well, according to MailOnline, she's a 24-year-old American model.
And she apparently starred in the music video for Liam and J Balvin's track Familiar, which came out in 2018.
