Spanish model Mayka Rivera has quashed rumours over being in a relationship with Belgian footballer Thibaut Courtois.

According to a British tabloid, The Sun, reports in Spain claim the high-profile pair have struck up a relationship. Rivera, who has more than half a million followers on Instagram, became famous after she appeared on a Spanish reality show, Temptation Island.

Dismissing reports about her rumoured relationship with the Real Madrid star, Rivera said: "All rumours of the possible relationship or approach with Thibaut Courtois are totally false. Tomorrow I will give an explanation on my mtmad channel and it will be the first and last time that I will talk about this topic. End."
