Maya Jama, the host of Love Island, is dating Portugal’s R. Dias, a champion league player known for his valiant defending and leadership on the field.
After weeks of speculation, fans now have confirmation that Love Island host Maya Jama is dating Portuguese Rúben Dias – and the internet can’t get enough of the new power couple.
Maya, 30, took to Instagram Stories earlier this month to talk to her fans while the footballer sat alongside her in the back of a car, seemingly confirming their romance. The duo had been enjoying a meal together before she said they were swarmed by photographers.
Now, Maya has taken the confirmation one step further as she shared a video of the footballer on her Instagram stories, jokingly titling it the “perv cam”. Ruben displayed his ripped physique in a pair of black shorts as he soaked up the up the sun with Maya on holiday.

Rúben Dias, 28, is a centre-back who plays for Premier League giants Manchester City and the Portugal national team. Born in Amadora, Portugal, the handsome defender is known not just for his skills on the pitch, but also for his strong leadership, captaining City on numerous occasions and earning praise from football legends for his calm under pressure attitude.
Ruben’s talent quickly showed up at Benfica as he began his career. Before joining City in 2020 for a cool £57 million, one of the most expensive deals for a Portuguese player, he made over 100 appearances for the club.
In his debut season, he helped lead City to a Premier League title and a Champions League final, scooping up accolades like FWA Footballer of the Year and Premier League Player of the Season. And if that’s not enough, he was also part of the historic Man City squad that completed a continental treble in 2022–23, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League – a feat only one other English club has achieved.
Ruben has played a key role in Portugal’s 2019 Nations League victory on home soil and has won two World Cups and two Euros.
However, despite having a career full of trophies and accolades, Ruben has been known for maintaining a relatively quiet private life up until now. After being seen cuddling at KSI’s event earlier this year, viewers were quick to identify the romance between Maya and Ruben.
Maya has been linked to high-profile names in the past, with the presenter splitting from rapper Stormzy for a second time last year. Maya, also a presenter on BBC Radio 1, is understood to have introduced the Portuguese footballer to her mum last month, though again the couple hadn’t confirmed any romance to fans online.
After meeting at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November, everything got going. According to reports, the pair have been a relationship for a while, and now it seems like they have finally confirmed their relationship.
She was also at the game at Wembley recently as Rúben’s Manchester City played to a 2-0 triumph over Nottingham Forest. The win booked City’s place in the final of the FA Cup, in which they will face Crystal Palace after the Eagles thumped Aston Villa 3-0.
It was also reported that Ruben introduced Maya to his mother, Bernadette, amid speculation about her relationship with the football star. Maya and R. has met his mother, according to a source who spoke to The Sun.
