has reportedly split from her boyfriend after 18 months together.

The Love Island presenter, 31, and the Manchester City star, 29, decided to end their relationship three weeks ago, before Maya flew to Inverness to film the new series of Celebrity Traitors.

According to The Sun, Maya and Ruben have begun to delete loved-up snaps together from their respective Instagram accounts.

The couple started dating in December 2024 after meeting at the MTV  in Manchester a month before.

However, it seems neither star will have time to dwell on the split, with Maya set to return to work on the new series of Love Island next month, while Ruben will be jetting to the US to play for the Portuguese national team at the World Cup.

The split comes weeks after the couple moved in together, with Maya relocating to live with the football star in a £4 million mansion in Cheshire.

However, the pair were left 'devastated' after thieves ransacked their mansion in January.

The incident happened while Ruben was playing away against Turkish team Galatasaray, and Maya was notably in South Africa filming Love Island: All Stars.

The burglars made off with thousands of pounds worth of items, including designer clothes, jewellery and electronics, according to reports.

The couple had only recently moved into the Omaze prize-draw mansion, which is said to cost £20,000 a month to rent.

The couple went on to strengthen security at their property by paying for a Strongbox 24-hour security team to live in the garden - despite having 'state of the art security systems'.

'The couple asked a security firm to come in and assess the property and the suggestion was that having live-in round-the-clock guards would act as a great deterrent, a source told The Sun.

'Lots of footballers have private fitness coaches, chefs, drivers – and now are adding security guards to the list.'

On the day of the targeted attack, Ruben reportedly raised the alarm after returning home from the away game and discovering the house had been turned upside down with valuable items missing.

A source said at the time: 'They are devastated, the house is the first they have moved into as a couple and is very special to them. Thankfully, neither was at home, but they are very upset that their personal space has been invaded.

They added to The Sun: 'Maya was very proud to move into her first home with Ruben and took lots of videos and pictures while in the house which she posted on her social media.

'Previously in their relationship, she was back and forth from London and he was living in a city centre flat. That's why this property means so much to them.'  

Ruben previously spoke about whether he was concerned about the publicity surrounding his relationship with Maya.

He told The Telegraph: 'No, I think that's the last thing you think about.

'We are just both aware of it, and there's no way around it.

'But at the end of the day, you don't make it about it. You make it about everything else, and then that's an extra you have to deal with and, obviously, be smart with it.'

Maya previously split from rapper Stormzy in 2024, taking to Instagram with a joint statement stating: 'We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and the spent five years manoeuvring life apart.

They confirmed the breakup was 'final' after previously going their separate ways following a five year relationship in 2019 and reconnecting in August 2023.
