After months of speculation, Maya Jama and Manchester City footballer Ruben Dias have finally confirmed their romance, putting all rumours to rest with a very public display of affection at KSI’s Baller League event on Monday night.
Held at the iconic Copper Box Arena, the high-energy celebrity football event became the unlikely setting for a relationship reveal that has had fans and tabloids buzzing. Jama, 30, and Dias, 27, were spotted kissing and cuddling in full view of the crowd, officially going public with a romance that, until now, had been quietly brewing behind the scenes.
The pair’s connection reportedly dates back to November 2024, when they first met at the star-studded European Music Awards. According to insiders, sparks flew instantly, and the couple has been quietly growing closer ever since.
A source told The Sun: “Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other. They weren’t hiding anything and looked really happy to be together.”
Jama, known for her high-profile presenting gigs including Love Island and Glow Up, has been spotted attending several Manchester City matches in recent months, often photographed cheering from the stands. While fans speculated that her increased presence on the football scene might be more than just casual interest, neither Maya nor Ruben had previously commented on the rumours, until now.
This confirmation adds Jama and Dias to the growing list of footballer-celebrity power couples dominating both headlines and social media. For Maya, it marks her first high-profile relationship since her split from rapper Stormzy, whom she briefly reunited with in 2023 before calling it quits again. Dias, meanwhile, had previously kept his personal life tightly under wraps, making this public appearance with Jama all the more significant.
The couple’s chemistry was evident on Monday, with eyewitnesses describing them as “inseparable” throughout the event. Fans quickly took to social media to express excitement over the new pairing, with many praising the duo’s stylish presence and seemingly natural connection.
With both stars at the top of their respective fields, this confirmed relationship is bound to attract even more attention in the weeks to come. Whether it’s in the stands or on the red carpet, it looks like Maya Jama and Ruben Dias are ready to take centre stage, together.
Could a red carpet debut be next?
