Maya Jama has snuggled up to her new man as they posted their first loved up snap.

The Love Island host has reportedly be dating professional footballer Ruben Dias since last month. They were first seen together in public after having a cosy New Year's Eve date. Maya, 30, and Ruben, 27, met each other at the MTV Europe Music Awards at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester on November 10, just a few months after her split from Stormzy.

Ruben has now appeared to confirm their romance after posting a photo of them together watching a sunset. The football star wore a hoody and trousers as he wrapped his arm around a woman wearing a skirt and trainers. Their backs were to the camera, so the woman's identity was concealed.

He also shared a series of other snaps from the getaway with his pals. Ruben wrote: "Happy new year everyone and happy 30th to the one & only @ivandias03 “Lo que viene…vai…”." A source told the Sun: "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."

They continued: "Spending New Year's Eve together was a real step forward in their relationship." The source added that Maya and Ruben "get on really well" and "make a gorgeous couple," but stated that "it's early days". Maya and Ruben enjoyed a dinner date on New Year's Eve with one of her pals at Sa Capella in Ibiza.

They didn't share photos together but were said to have been seen in a blurry snap that surfaced on social media. Maya announced the end of her romance with rapper Stormzy, 31, in July last year. The former couple released a joint statement at the time, in which they said: "We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart. We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we've spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits.

"We were 21 and 20 when we first met - both at the beginning of our careers - and spent five years growing together and then five years growing separately, so this final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning. We tried, and it didn't work, and that's okay."

They added: "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 (so if you see us having a lil catch-up at The Brits or something, don't cause a fuss, we are dawgs!)."
