Maya Jama is getting ready to take her relationship with footballer Ruben Dias to the next level as their bond strengthens. The Love Island host, aged 31, initially tried to keep their romance discreet after meeting at the European Music Awards in November.
They have been seen on numerous secret outings, with fans noticing their social media posts indicating they were in the same place at the same time. In March, Maya attended one of Ruben’s football matches in Portugal, and a month later, they were spotted kissing and cuddling at KSI’s Baller League football event in London.
Her relationship with Ruben, aged 28, began after her breakup with rapper Stormzy last summer. The presenter officially started dating the Manchester City star during a sunny trip to the Amalfi Coast in June.
Despite both Maya and Ruben preferring to keep their relationship private on social media, it seems they are getting more serious behind closed doors. They recently shared a rare affectionate mirror selfie, looking happier than ever.
Maya is contemplating a move up north to be closer to Ruben, having spent significant time in Manchester to be near him. A source revealed that Maya has a fondness for the down-to-earth atmosphere of Manchester and enjoys the football and WAG scene in the city.
The couple has been exploring Manchester together, with Maya sharing moments from their time in the city, including staying at Ruben’s luxury apartment and dining with his personal chef. They were recently seen at the Apple store in the Arndale Centre.
According to reports from The Sun, Maya and Ruben’s relationship has intensified in recent months. Maya has introduced Ruben to her mother and is learning Portuguese to connect with him on a deeper level.
Before dating Maya, Ruben joined Manchester City in 2020 for a reported £57 million and was previously in a relationship with Portuguese singer April Ivy. Maya’s love life has been in the spotlight since her relationship with Stormzy, which ended last summer due to differing life goals.
In a recent interview, Maya expressed her contentment with her current relationship but mentioned her desire to marry and have children with her next partner. She emphasized the importance of finding someone who adds to her happiness.
