Ruben Dias & Maya Jama relationship heats up as they 'take a serious next step'

Maya Jama's romance with Ruben Dias has turned up a notch after the couple took a major step forward, according to a report.

The pair have been secretly dating for a couple of months, after Jama first caught the Portuguese's eye when they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November 2024.

The Love Island star has been seen at multiple football games over the last few months to watch Dias live in action for Man City.

And now, Jama, 30, and Dias, 27, are getting even 'more serious' after the centre back introduced his new girlfriend to his mother Bernadette, according to The Sun.

This news comes two weeks after it was reported that Jama is being followed on Instagram by Dias' mother.

During the last international break in March, Jama flew to Lisbon to watch Dias play for the Portuguese national team.

She was pictured in the stands at the José Alvalade Stadium to witness Portugal's 5-2 victory over Denmark in the second leg of their Nations League quarter-final.

The presenter was seen with a friend and glasses of wine in a VIP hospitality box - usually reserved for friends and family of players.

Jama then posted a picture on social media of the two celebrating together at their romantic fireside retreat at 3:30am the following morning.

The snap is believed to have been taken at the footballer's home in the Cascais region of Portugal, with a vast swimming pool and fire pit glimpsed in the picture.

Jama and Dias reportedly started dating in December, having met at the EMAs in November, which took place in Manchester - where Dias plays.

Rumours of the couple's romance only intensified in the days following Valentine's Day after Jama shared the bouquet of roses she received on her return to the UK from Cape Town following the conclusion of the 2025 Love Island All Star season.

The pair were then spotted wearing matching Cartier 'LOVE' bracelets, which were listed at £5,050 on the store's website.

Jama was seen wearing the pricey gift in the Instagram post before Dias was spotted wearing the same item as he arrived for training ahead of City's Champions League play-off second leg against Real Madrid in February.

Jama and Dias have kept tight-lipped on the dating rumours - but earlier in March, Gary Lineker seemingly confirmed their relationship by referencing the defender as Jama's 'boyfriend' to her face.

After the incident, Jama did not deny Lineker's claim, and only labelled the Match of the Day presenter 'weird'.

Jama was clearly upset after the former England player put her on the spot and prompted further speculation.

She said: 'Get out! This is why I don't talk to old people. They're so weird.'
