Maya Jama showed off her killer figure and quaffed champagne after it was reported that her ex-boyfriend Ruben Dias was messaging other women during their relationship.
Following the claims, the Love Island host showed the Manchester City footballer what he was missing in a racy cut-out swimsuit, which showed off a previously unseen tattoo.
Maya, who is in Mallorca ahead of the new series of Love Island, has a tattoo up her leg in script that translates roughly from Arabic as: ‘Love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody’s watching’.
While the presenter, 31, is said to have had the inking for a while, it is the first time it has been seen in pictures.
She was seen at a villa before putting on a striped strapless dress and sandals to leave the accommodation.
Maya looked glamorous with bouncy blown out curls and a face of glamorous makeup, as she prepares to host the ITV reality dating show again on Monday.
While her professional life is thriving, the presenter has suffered a personal setback in her private life following claims about Ruben’s behaviour.

The Manchester City defender has been accused of sending late night messages to a string of gorgeous influencers while still romantically involved with Maya.
He ended his 18-month relationship with the TV host in April, shortly before she filmed the second series of Celebrity Traitors on location in Scotland.
Ruben, who is currently celebrating a domestic double with City after winning the League and FA Cup in manager Pep Guardiola’s final season, has since been accused of ‘toe-dipping’ on social media before breaking off the romance.
The trend – a more subtle alternative to direct messaging – typically involves one social media user following another in the hope of gauging interest. If there is no reciprocation, they promptly unfollow and move on.
It’s understood that he used the technique in March – weeks before his relationship with Maya came to an end – after encountering attractive model and bridal designer Catarina Duraes online.
However, he unfollowed her around 24-hours later, when she failed to follow him back.
Months earlier, he employed the same tactic with a Scottish brunette called Claire in November 2025, although there is no suggestion the footballer was unfaithful while involved with Maya.
A source told The Sun: ‘It might just seem like a simple follow online but it’s the intention behind it, following someone to see if they follow back and interact, and always doing it late at night – it’s seedy.
‘It suggests he’s sat browsing Instagram and what happens if they do follow back or DM?’
Since his split with Maya, he has reportedly briefly followed Aussie Love Island star Amelia Marni, who lives in London and has a boyfriend.

A gorgeous blonde TikTok influencer named Georgia received the same treatment, but there is no suggestion Ruben has met these women or interacted with them further.
According to The Sun, social media users have been tracking the footballer’s toe-dipping, and claimed he tends to follow women, before unfollowing them the following day. The Daily Mail has contacted Ruben’s representatives for comment.
Following reports of their split, Maya and Ruben deleted any snaps of each other from their respective Instagram accounts.
Over the weekend, Maya was also silent on social media when the footballer lifted the FA Cup with his City teammates, despite previously supporting him at matches.
Fans were quick to note the timing of the split, as Manchester City missed out on another Premier League title triumph to rivals Arsenal.
The former couple started dating in December 2024 after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester a month before.
It’s thought that the recent split has been ‘amicable,’ and there is still ‘a lot of love and respect between them’.
Is following attractive strangers online while in a relationship harmless – or a major red flag?

An insider said: ‘Maya is heading into an intense filming schedule and Ruben’s focus is fully on the World Cup, so they’ve decided to part ways.’
They went on to tell The Sun: ‘There’s no bad blood at all between them. They’re still incredibly fond of one another, but with months apart ahead and huge work commitments coming up, they both felt it was the right time to step back from the relationship.
‘Friends around them could see how much they cared about each other. But with Maya’s work schedule and Ruben’s football commitments ramping up, the relationship naturally reached a crossroads.
‘The split has been very mature and mutual. They’re both young, ambitious and entering huge phases in their respective careers.’
