Ruben Dias and Maya Jama Split After 18 Months Together, Sources Confirm

Manchester City defender Rúben Dias and television presenter Maya Jama are reportedly no longer together after 18 months as a couple, according to reports. Sources suggest the pair separated around three weeks ago, though neither Dias nor Jama has released an official public statement confirming the split.

According to The Sun, the two first crossed paths at the MTV Europe Music Awards held in Manchester in late 2024, with their relationship beginning in December of that year. They went public on Instagram in May 2025 during a trip to the Amalfi Coast in Italy, and later moved into a £4 million property in Alderley Edge, Cheshire — a purchase that made their split particularly notable given how recently the home was acquired.

The reasons behind the separation have not been officially disclosed. Sources suggest the split is not connected to infidelity or a third party, with career commitments and demanding schedules reportedly contributing factors. Both individuals are said to have begun removing couple photographs from their respective social media accounts. The break is also reported to have taken place prior to Jama travelling to Scotland to begin filming for The Celebrity Traitors.

Jama, who has hosted Love Island since 2023, is set to return for the upcoming series of the dating programme. Before her relationship with Dias, her most prominent public partnership was with British rapper Stormzy, with the pair dating on and off between 2015 and 2024. Dias, meanwhile, had previously been in a relationship with Portuguese singer April Ivy for several years, and was also briefly linked to former Love Island contestant Arabella Chi.

On the footballing front, Dias faces a significant summer ahead. The 27-year-old centre-back is expected to represent Portugal at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled to take place in the United States. Dias has been a key figure in Manchester City‘s defensive setup since joining the club from Benfica in 2020, winning four Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League during his time at the Etihad Stadium.

As of the time of publication, the separation remains unconfirmed by either Dias or Jama directly, and the full circumstances surrounding the end of their relationship have not been made public.
