Ruben Dias & Arabella Chi romance confirmed? Man City defender spotted heading on holiday with Love Island star

The pair have been at the centre of romance rumours for months as it has been alleged that they have been dating since September. In November, The Sun reported that Arabella frequently travelled from her Ibiza home to spend time with Dias in the UK, and they had also jetted out for a romantic mini-break in Paris.

Both Dias and Arabella have been discreet about their relationship and the defender was spotted maintaining a low profile at the airport on New Year's Day - as the Daily Mailreports. He wore a black baseball cap and a black hoodie with the hood pulled up to hide his face. On the other hand, Chi made little effort to hide her identity as she chose to wear a Boohoo hoodie with her hair flowing down.

The Portuguese footballer has reportedly showered Arabella with gifts and the pair had a lovely time in Paris, hopping into the best places to eat and dine in the French capital.

A source said to The Sun: "Rúben and ­Arabella have been quietly dating for the past month. She has visited him in Manchester and their dates have been all under the radar. They went to Paris for their first romantic mini-break in the week, where he wined and dined her at all the best restaurants. Rúben and Arabella are trying to keep their relationship under wraps because it’s early days. But they had the best time together in Paris and seem to be really falling for each other."

After a triumphant end to 2023, courtesy of lifting the Club World Cup and then beating Everton and Sheffield United in the Premier League, Dias will look to get back to action for City refreshed for the second phase of the campaign following his holidays. He will be in line to feature against Huddersfield in an FA Cup third-round tie on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium before making a trip to St. James' Park to take on Newcastle United on January 13.
