TV presenter and Love Island host, Maya Jama has been at the centre of dating rumours after being seen out for dinner with Premier League football star Ruben Dias. The 30-year-old had previously ended her high-profile, on-off relationship with Stormzy, 31, in July 2024, after first getting together back in 2014. Not long after their split, Stormzy was seen with new partner Victoria Monet.
Recently, Bristolian Maya was spotted with Manchester City’s Ruben Dias and a friend at Sa Capella, in Ibiza, as they looked to welcome in 2025. Although no photos of the pair were shared directly, a blurry image that surfaced on social media has fuelled romance rumours.
The Mirror reports the speculated date follows an encounter at the MTV EMAs in Manchester last November, where both Maya and Ruben were present, the two started following each other on Instagram, further igniting rumours of a potential romance.

Maya and Stormzy surprised fans in July by announcing another breakup. They released a joint statement saying: “We’ve been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we’d be the couple announcing a breakup.
“But for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow us the space and grace that’s needed for us both to be able to navigate this next bit of our lives with peace, we thought it might be best to.”
They shared that their continuous struggle against demanding work schedules had been a challenge, and they took a moment to reminisce about becoming a couple at quite a young age; he was 21 and she was just 20. They continued: “We still think the absolute world of each other, we still care and respect each other, we are still grateful for the time we’ve had together, and we are still friends and will always be friends.”
After maintaining silence on social media following Stormzy’s sighting with American singer Victoria at Heathrow Airport, Maya broke her quiet with posts of her visit to a hair salon amidst unexpected rainfall. On her Instagram Stories, the television personality uploaded a picture at the salon, playfully tousling her hair extensions.
Sharing a video snapshot, Maya wittily captioned it for her followers: “And the rain falls as soon as the blow dry is done.”
