Maya Jama has shared a glimpse into her Valentine’s Day celebrations with boyfriend Ruben Dias, after flying back to the UK to spend the weekend together.
During a break from filming Love Island All Stars in South Africa, the presenter, 31, arrived back in England to spend some quality time with the footballer, 28.
The couple were seen heading out for lunch together in Alderley Edge on Sunday morning, after enjoying a romantic date night on Saturday.
Maya was the picture of effortless style in a camel coat with a statement collar, with heeled boots and trendy black shades.
She flashed her boyfriend a radiant smile as they headed towards the restaurant, with Ruben looking handsome in a black leather jacket over a graphic T-shirt, hiding his face beneath a green baseball cap.
The Love Island host shared a glimpse into their Valentine’s Day celebrations on Instagram, starting the day by being showered with gifts by the Manchester City star.
Maya first showed off the huge bouquet of red roses that Ruben had surprised her with, before revealing he’d also treated her to a gift from Chanel.
The couple later headed out for dinner together where they put their artistic skills to the test, by drawing each other’s portraits.
Maya was left in hysterics as she shared their efforts, posting a snap of hers with the caption: ‘We went to a restaurant that lets you draw at the table, the wine had me feeling like Picasso because I thought this was 10/10 last night’.
Showing a glimpse of Ruben working hard at his own drawing, she wrote: ‘Picasso number 2’ before simply writing a string of crying laughing emojis as she shared his less than flattering picture of her.
The couple have been dating since 2024, but only confirmed their romance publicly in April last year.
And their relationship seems to be going from strength to strength, with Maya candidly admitting this week that the only reason she still lives in the UK is for Ruben.
Speaking on her Instagram stories, she said: ‘There is something about me abroad compared to me in England and she’s a better human.
‘I think everyone is but also love a little stroll, I love a bike ride. England, shook to ride a bike, to walk around for too long on my own.
‘All the signs are leading to she needs to live in a warm country. If you think about it, technically my jobs are all abroad anyway.’
She had captioned her video update: ‘I’m not gna leave yet really but I am only in England for my man at this point.’
It is clear the star is missing her boyfriend as she later shared a snap wearing a Manchester City away jersey with Ruben’s playing number, three.
Last month, it was revealed Maya and Ruben’s lavish new Cheshire mansion was burgled while she had been away filming in South Africa.
Cheshire Police confirmed to the Daily Mail that possessions had been stolen and enquires into the robbery are ongoing.
It’s understood burglars made off with thousands of pounds worth of items including designer clothes, jewellery and electronics, according to reports.
The couple had only recently moved into the Omaze prize-draw mansion, which is said to cost £20,000 a month to rent.
Ruben reportedly raised the alarm after returning home and discovering the house had been turned upside down with valuable items missing.
A source close to the pair said: ‘They are devastated. The house is the first they have moved into as a couple and is very special to them. Thankfully, neither was at home, but they are very upset that their personal space has been invaded.’
They added to The Sun: ‘Maya was very proud to move into her first home with Ruben and took lots of videos and pictures while in the house which she posted on her social media.
‘Previously in their relationship, she was back and forth from London and he was living in a city centre flat. That’s why this property means so much to them.’
A spokesperson for Cheshire Police told the Daily Mail: ‘Shortly after 11.10pm on Wednesday 28 January, police received reports of a burglary at an address in Woodbrook Road, Alderley Edge.
‘They added: ‘Officers attended and found entry had been made to the property and a number of items had been stolen. Enquiries are currently ongoing and anyone with any information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or through the website.’
