Ruben Dias & Maya Jama 'secretly dating for a month' after Love Island host caught the eye of Man City defender with Liz Hurley-inspired safety pin dress at MTV awards

It has been revealed that the pair spent New Year’s Eve together dining on the party island of Ibiza. Neither has commented on their supposed relationship, or posted images together on social media, but it is being claimed that their romance has been building over several weeks.

TV presenter Jama is said to have first caught the eye of Portugal international Dias at the MTV Europe Music Awards – which took place in Manchester on November 10, 2024. Jama attended that event wearing a dress inspired by Liz Hurley’s iconic safety pin outfit from the 1994 premiere of ‘Four Weddings And A Funeral’.

A source has told The Sun: "Maya and Ruben swapped details at the EMAs and have chatted since, but things went up a gear in early December. 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."

The Sun suggests that Dias - who split from Love Island contestant Arabella Chi in January 2024 – and Jama, who parted ways with rap icon Stormzy in July of last year, have been "secretly" dating for a month after generating an initial spark.
