Ruben Dias Denies Cheating Rumors in Maya Jama Breakup

Manchester City footballer Ruben Dias, 29, has publicly confirmed his breakup with Love Island presenter Maya Jama, 31, while vehemently denying infidelity. In an Instagram statement, Dias said he drew the line at cheating rumors after his 85-year-old grandfather asked about them. He emphasized that their relationship was built on mutual respect and that no line was crossed. The couple removed photos of each other from social media in mid-May, sparking speculation. Dias stated that while he usually stays silent on personal matters, he felt it was wrong to lie for clickbait. He called the reasons for their split private and asked for respect. Jama has not commented publicly. The pair met in November 2024 at the MTV European Music Awards in Manchester and confirmed their relationship in April 2025. They lived together in Manchester. Dias, a Portuguese defender, joined Manchester City in 2020 for £65m and signed a two-year contract extension in August 2025, keeping him at the club until 2029. Jama, a British TV personality, has hosted Love Island UK since 2022 and will appear in the second series of The Celebrity Traitors UK and in Guy Ritchie's Netflix series The Gentleman.
