Is Maya Jama dating Ruben Dias?

According to a tabloid source Maya and Ruben have been secretly dating for months but neither of them have commented on the claims themselves.

The source said: “Maya and Ruben swapped details at the EMAs and have chatted since, but things went up a gear in early December.

"When Ruben got injured and had to miss the congested new year fixtures, he jumped at the chance to see in 2025 with Maya in Spain.

"Spending New Year’s Eve together was a real step forward in their relationship."

“They get on really well and obviously make a gorgeous couple, but it’s early days,” they said.

On Instagram, @gsm_hq (Game Set Match) shared extremely blurring images that are believed to be Maya and Ruben having a meal together.

They shared the images and said: "Apparently, the pair dined out at Sa Capella in Ibiza, on December 31st, joined by Maya’s close friend who also shared snaps from their dinner."

The pair do follow each other on Instagram but, if they are an item, that's as public as they've gone.

We'll update this page if Maya or Ruben break their silence on the dating speculation.
