Love Island host Maya Jama and Manchester City footballer Ruben Dias are making headlines for what fans believe could be the start of a sizzling new romance. The pair reportedly hit it off after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester last November, and insiders say their relationship has been heating up ever since.
According to reports, Ruben, 27, and Maya, 30, spent New Year’s Eve together in Ibiza, where the football star was taking a break due to an injury that sidelined him from several matches. A source revealed, “Maya and Ruben swapped numbers at the EMAs and kept in touch. Things really kicked off in December, and spending New Year’s Eve together in Spain marked a big step in their budding relationship.”
The pair were reportedly spotted at the upscale Sa Capella restaurant, enjoying a cozy dinner alongside one of Maya’s friends. While no photos of the duo have surfaced directly, a blurry snap making rounds on social media has fueled speculation.
Fans have been buzzing over the potential pairing, especially after Maya’s public split from rapper Stormzy last year. The two, who had a long and storied relationship beginning in 2014, officially ended things in July 2024 after a heartfelt attempt at reconciliation.
Now, Maya and Ruben are rumored to be embracing new beginnings. “They get along really well and make a stunning couple,” an insider shared, though they added, “It’s still early days.”
Whether this is the start of something big or just a sweet fling, one thing is for sure—Maya and Ruben are a duo everyone will be watching.
