  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The two were first linked after celebrating New Year’s Eve together in Ibiza, fuelling reports that they had been secretly dating for a few months. Jama, 30, is said to have first caught the Portuguese star’s attention when they met at the European Music Awards. Though neither has publicly confirmed their relationship, sightings of them together and subtle clues on social media have only intensified speculation.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    According to Game, Set and Match, Dias reportedly purchased a Cartier 'LOVE Bracelet,' which retails at £5,050. Shortly after, Jama was seen wearing the same bracelet in an Instagram update. The intrigue deepened when Dias was later spotted with an identical piece of jewellery when arriving at training ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid.

  • WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

    A source speaking to The Sun provided more insight into how their connection developed.

    "Maya and Ruben swapped details at the EMAs and have chatted since, but things went up a gear in early December," it was revealed.

    "When Ruben got injured and had to miss the congested new year fixtures, he jumped at the chance to see in 2025 with Maya in Spain. Spending New Year's Eve together was a real step forward in their relationship. They get on really well and obviously make a gorgeous couple, but it's early days."

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Talk of a romance gained momentum once again after Valentine’s Day when Jama shared an Instagram story displaying a bouquet of roses she had received upon returning to the UK from Cape Town. The TV presenter had been in South Africa for the filming of the Love Island All Stars finale, and fans quickly speculated about the identity of the mysterious sender.

    She shared the picture along with a caption that read: "Back home to loveliness ❤️".

    WHAT NEXT FOR DIAS?

    While the relationship rumours continue to generate headlines, Dias will be focusing on Manchester City’s upcoming fixtures. The Premier League champions suffered a painful 6-3 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League, a result that ended their hopes of European glory this season.

    With that disappointment still fresh, City will have little time to dwell on their exit as they prepare for a crucial showdown against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. As City look to bounce back, Jama may have to offer some support to Dias, who will be eager to put the Champions League disappointment behind him and focus on securing domestic success.
