Maya Jama and Ruben Dias Enjoy Romantic Getaway in Italy

Maya Jama looked loved-up with her boyfriend Ruben Dias as she gave an insight into their romantic trip to Italy. 

The presenter, 30, and the footballer, 27, are thought to have been secretly dating for several months, after Maya first caught his eye when they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November.

Their romance was finally confirmed after they were seen packing on the PDA at KSI’s Baller League event in April. 

Sharing a series of photos to Instagram on Thursday, Maya looked incredible in a triangle bikini while soaking up some sun on a boat. 

She was later diving into the water while Ruben filmed her from the top deck.

Maya went Instagram official with her boyfriend Ruben two weeks ago, when she shared a video for the first time. 

The Love Island host was all smiles in the clip as she sat alongside the footballer in a car heading back to her house. 

The presenter has been seen at multiple football games over the last few months to watch Dias live in action for Man City.

Footage of the pair last month showed them with their arms around each other before he leant into her neck for a peck, with Ruben flying under the radar in casual clothes and a cap.

A source told The Sun: ‘Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other.

‘They were chatting to others around them but gravitated back to each other. They seem very happy with each other.’

It is the first time they have been seen in public since they were thought to have started dating – though Maya has often hinted at the romance by sharing snaps of flowers she has been sent.

Their appearance at the Baller League came just one day after she supported Ruben at Wembley on Sunday as his team Manchester City triumphed 2-0 against Nottingham Forest in the FA cup. 

The Love Island host took her whole family to Wembley to support him.

She shared a video on the way to the stadium as she penned ‘family day out to Wembley’ in the caption – while her mother Sadie and brother Omar sat in the car with her.

Maya then shared a snap of the pitch as she watched on – while her family enjoyed the atmosphere.

It was reported that the pair are getting even ‘serious’ after the centre back introduced Maya to his mother Bernadette, according to The Sun.

This news came two weeks after it was reported that Maya is being followed on Instagram by Ruben’s mother.

During the last international break in March, Maya flew to Lisbon to watch him play for the Portuguese national team.

She was pictured in the stands at the José Alvalade Stadium to witness Portugal’s 5-2 victory over Denmark in the second leg of their Nations League quarter-final.

The presenter was seen with a friend and glasses of wine in a VIP hospitality box – usually reserved for friends and family of players.

Maya then posted a picture on social media of the two celebrating together at their romantic fireside retreat at 3:30am the following morning.

The snap is believed to have been taken at the footballer’s home in the Cascais region of Portugal, with a vast swimming pool and fire pit glimpsed in the picture.

They reportedly started dating in December, having met at the EMAs in November, which took place in Manchester – where Dias plays.

Rumours of the couple’s romance only intensified in the days following Valentine’s Day after Jama shared the bouquet of roses she received on her return to the UK from Cape Town following the conclusion of the 2025 Love Island All Star season.

The pair were then spotted wearing matching Cartier ‘LOVE’ bracelets, which were listed at £5,050 on the store’s website.

Jama was seen wearing the pricey gift in the Instagram post before Dias was spotted wearing the same item as he arrived for training ahead of City’s Champions League play-off second leg against Real Madrid in February.

They have kept tight-lipped on the dating rumours – but earlier in March, Gary Lineker seemingly confirmed their relationship by referencing the defender as Maya’s ‘boyfriend’ to her face.

After the incident, Maya did not deny Gary’s claim and only labelled the Match of the Day presenter ‘weird’.

Maya appeared to be upset after the former England player put her on the spot and prompted further speculation.

She said: ‘Get out! This is why I don’t talk to old people. They’re so weird.’
