Maya Jama and Ruben Diaz – when did they meet and how did they get together?

One week before Love Island debuts, Maya posted a loved-up photo of the couple on vacation in Italy. The pair recently officially signed to Instagram.

Maya Jama has finally confirmed her romance with footballer Ruben Dias after months of speculation, and fans couldn’t be happier for the glamorous couple. The Love Island host, 30, made things official with the Manchester City star, 28, during a sun-soaked trip to the Amalfi Coast just days before her return to ITV2 for the new series of the dating show on June 9.

Maya and Ruben shared a number of photos from their romantic Italian getaway, including a sweet mirror selfie of the couple in their hotel room and a video of herself diving into the sea.

Ruben Dias and Maya Jama’s new relationship have officially taken to Instagram.

One cheeky clip even had Ruben applying suncream with the caption “perv cam” on it. Malfi coasting, according to Maya’s caption. One fan gushed, “You two look so good together,” and another, “I’m sorry, Ruben must be special because I haven’t seen Maya hard launch anyone but one person.”

Let’s look back at how their romance began once the couple is officially together.

Maya and Ruben are believed to have first met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in Manchester in November 2024. After the event, they followed each other on Instagram. By the end of the year, the pair were reportedly spotted ringing in New Year ’s Eve together.

Maya was seen watching one of Ruben’s football matches in Portugal in March 2025, which only served to further escalate. At KSI’s Baller League football game at London’s Copper Box Arena, the pair were photographed kissing and cuddling a month later.

At the European Music Awards in November, it appears that the two have already met.

According to reports from The Sun, the relationship has become more serious in recent weeks. Maya is said to have introduced Ruben to her mum, Bernadette, and has been making an effort to learn her partner’s native language by taking Portuguese lessons.

Ruben Dias joined Manchester City in 2020 for a reported £57 million, and is one of the most respected defenders in the world. Before dating Maya he was in a relationship with Portuguese singer April Ivy, and has also previously been linked to former Love Island contestant Arabella Chi.

Maya’s love life has been in the spotlight ever since she dated Stormzy. The couple split up in 2019, which the rapper later called his “biggest regret”, and they reunited in 2023 to give things another try. However, they broke up again for good last summer, citing differences in what they wanted from their lives and for the future.

In an interview with the Evening Standard last November, which is around the time she met Ruben, Maya opened up about what she is currently looking for from a relationship.

She said, “I’m feeling fussy right now, but the next person I meet wants to marry and have kids with me.” I don’t want anyone who isn’t going to improve the quality of my life because I’ve made it so good for myself alone.

I don’t want you unless you make me happy because I’m in this lovely bubble. I kind of don’t need you if you’re not. Maybe Ruben could be the person Maya needs because he became her partner and has now established a relationship with her.

At the time of her death, she was 26 weeks pregnant. The suspected killer, identified as Robert Lupu, 49, allegedly shot the TV star, 23, at close range while she was carrying her three-year-old daughter.

According to reports, she left him after discovering that he had been lying about his marriage and that he had never accepted that the union had ended. On Saturday (May 31), the reality star was fatally shot outside the Cosmopolis residential complex in Bucharest, a city in Romania.

Lieutenant Colonel Jonny Thompson, who frequently appears at the King’s side and has captivated a horde of online fans, has wed for the second time, it has been revealed.

He has won over a legion of fans after never being far from King Charles’ side at some of his most high-profile appearances. Lieutenant Colonel Jonny Thompson has become known as the ‘hunky’ equerry after catching the eye of royal fans while on duty with both the King and Queen Camilla in his trademark kilt.

And now it has emerged he has tied the knot for a second time, months after becoming engaged to PR executive Olivia Lewis. It emerged last year that the soldier, who is from the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, had struck up a romance with Olivia after he split from his first wife several years ago.

And according to the Mail On Sunday, the pair tied the knot just over a week ago in an ‘elegant’ and ‘low-key’ ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which was followed by a lunch hosted by the bride’s parents. However, it seems it was shortly back to work after the big day as just two days later, the equerry was spotted in Canada with the King and Queen on their whistlestop visit across the Atlantic.

After dating for a year, the couple was later revealed to be in love with Olivia and that they were “well matched and very happy” at the time. Their engagement was later made public in The Times, with the happy news coming just days after he was promoted to Charles “super equerry.”

Lt Col Thompson will now have a new role, which will allow him to work with both the King and the Queen and be in charge of the monarch’s private affairs. Unfortunately, this will mean he won’t be as visible to the royals as they are in public.

Equerries are drawn from the armed forces and are required to assist the royals both inside their residences and when out and about on public engagements.

He has been on the King’s side since the beginning of his reign, and he was a notable guest at the late Queen’s funeral and the Coronation. He also attracted a new generation of English Channel fans when he joined Charles and Camilla on their 2023 trip to France.

He was also seen sitting behind Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at a service to mark the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee last year. Also, he welcomed former Prime Minster Rishi Sunak as he visited Buckingham Palace to see the King.

One fan previously described Jonny Thompson as a “great hunk” on X! While another person expressed their feelings for King Charles’ new royal equerry, adding, “I think I’m getting a wee crush on it.”

Tatler magazine, a society publication, praised his ability to “look as good in a suit as he goes in a kilt,” as well. The King’s equerry wields its distinctive brand of quiet, charming power, according to the statement, “From within the palace walls, at the coronation, or on the opening night of the Berntson Bhattacharjee Gallery in Fitzrovia, where he wore a bunny tie and charmed India Rose James”

EastEnders star James Bye has sold his home and is now living in a field after bidding farewell to Albert Square earlier this year. In one of the soap’s saddest episodes, marking its 40th birthday, James’ character, Martin Fowler, was killed off when the Queen Vic collapsed, leaving his legion of loyal fans bereft.

Following the dramatic scenes, James, 41, who is currently playing Mr Darcy in a theatre tour of Death Comes to Pemberley, has made a major life change as his wife told their followers they have sold their home and moved into caravan – with their four kids and two blind dogs. Revealing the surprising news on Instagram, Victoria said: “It’s official …because we’ve only gone and sold our ‘forever home’. And not only that. We’ve done it so that we can move into a field – and into a caravan…

You read that correctly, yes. A cat, two blind dogs, and a tin box on wheels with barely enough room to swing. Now, you might be wondering what in the world we’re doing (I know, but I’m in denial)! “

Because both their parents had done it in the 1980s, Victoria explained the “method to their madness.”

She claimed that James’ sister was actually born in a wheel home, saying, “A dream we’ve long since had but never had the time to believe we could.”

“And yet somehow, we thought, “We have more on our plate than ever.” Sod it . It’s either now or never. Our year is dedicated to change. And that’s us.

What could possibly go wrong, I mean? (Er, right. Everything seems to be true. But let’s just get past that bit and resume our pursuit of our dreams (and all that gumph).

“And it’s not surprising that our parents both did the same thing in the 1980s!” They still managed to survive! (just about!) In fact, James’ sister was born in their caravan, which is still where they still call home today.

Victoria was adamant that she and James would not add to their six-person family despite James’ parents starting a new home in their caravan.

She kept her family’s plans a secret, saying, “While there is a firm NO on any baby making shenanigans going on in our little love pad, the same belief & hope for something we’ve built on our own is there.

It’ll be a journey, they say. A messy, chaotic, and mud-filled ride with only our boys and ourselves. And we are anxious. A possible alpaca will be born. What the hell, in for a penny and a half, and all that…

So please stay for the journey, lovely bunch, and if you have any advice, please send it to us.

Fashion and relationships were equally important in the Sex and the City universe, particularly for Carrie Bradshaw, the main character. SATC provided some significant fashion moments, from her show-stopping Vivienne Westwood wedding dress in the movies to her wildly impractical pair of Manolo Blahnik or Jimmy Choo heels.

Her Carrie necklace, however, became just as well-known and worn on repeat by Sarah Jessica Parker throughout the entire series and into the upcoming And Just Like That spinoffs. At the conclusion of the SATC TV series, she found herself (and Big) thanks to the nameplate necklace, which was so significant.

Harriet Cowan, the star of Clarkson’s Farm, has this fleece gilet in several colors.
