Maya Jama Keeps Romantic Snaps by Her Bedside as She Considers Moving to Manchester to Be Close to Ruben Dias

Maya Jama has revealed she keeps romantic photos of herself with boyfriend Ruben Dias by her bedside, a detail she shared as she indicated she might move to Manchester to be closer to the Manchester City defender.

The Love Island host, 31, posted to Instagram Stories on Thursday that she was in Manchester, where Dias is based, sharing a snapshot of her bedside table that included a framed black-and-white photo of the couple kissing. Another post showed Dias with his arm around Jama as they appeared to be enjoying a night out. The couple, who have been dating for several months, are believed to have first crossed paths after Jama met the Portugal international at the European Music Awards in November. Their romance was publicly confirmed in April when they were seen packing on the PDA at KSI's Baller League event.

Dias has publicly addressed the relationship for the first time, telling The Telegraph that publicity surrounding their romance is not something he worries about. He said, "No, I think that's the last thing you think about. We are just both aware of it and there's no way around it. But at the end of the day, you don't make it about it. You make it about everything else and then that's an extra you have to deal with and, obviously, be smart with it." The comments come as the couple have enjoyed time away together, including a sun-soaked boat trip on the Italian island of Capri during the off-season, where they were seen sharing a kiss over morning coffee on a yacht and Jama nuzzling into Dias' neck.

The Sun has reported that Jama is considering a move to Manchester to be closer to the City defender. A source quoted by the tabloid said Jama loves the down-to-earth vibe of Manchester, as well as the glamour of football and the local WAG scene, and that she enjoys spending more time in the city. While Bristol and London remain special to her, the appeal of Manchester appears to be growing. Jama has also been active on social media about life in the north, posting TikTok clips that feature moments in Ruben’s luxury apartment and meals prepared by his Portuguese chef, Diogo Prego.

The couple have been seen out and about in Manchester on several occasions, including an appearance together at the Arndale Centre Apple store earlier this week. Jama has made frequent appearances at Etihad Stadium to support Dias during matches, underscoring the pair’s public profile as their relationship has developed.

This week’s coverage adds to a growing narrative around Jama’s personal life as she balances a high-profile career with a relationship that has drawn considerable interest from fans and media outlets. The pair have continued to travel together and share moments on social media, with Jama’ s posts often offering rare glimpses into life with the footballer beyond the public gaze. Dias has emphasized a desire to focus on the relationship amid the spotlight, reinforcing that their connection remains the central element of their public story while acknowledging the attention it attracts.

As the couple navigates a likely relocation and the media attention that comes with a high-profile romance, fans and observers will be watching to see how Jama’s potential moves influence her work schedule and social media presence, as well as whether Manchester becomes a more permanent home base for the pair. For now, Jama has kept the gestures of affection close to her, including the bedside photos she shared with her followers, a personal reminder of the relationship that has become a regular feature of tabloid coverage and a staple of the couple’s public narrative.
