According to reports, it seems that Maya Jama might be considering a relocation to Manchester, as she wants to be nearer to her boyfriend, footballer Ruben Dias, who plays for Manchester City.
For several months now, the Love Island host, aged 31, and the footballer, at 28, have been in a relationship, taking delight in multiple romantic getaways.
Maya, originally from Bristol, now lives in London and often visits the northern region to spend time at her friend Ruben’s luxury apartment in the heart of town, which is valued at around £2.5 million.
She often attends Etihad Stadium, displaying her backing for the center-back during matches held there.
Based on recent news, it appears that the presenter might be contemplating a permanent relocation to Manchester, having developed an affinity not just for the Portuguese star, but also for the city itself.
According to a source, Maya appreciates the simple charm of Manchester, along with the glitz and glamour associated with its football culture and the social circle of WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends of footballers).
She holds a particular affection for Bristol and London, yet finds herself enjoying more quality time in Manchester alongside Ruben.
‘The city now serves as a hotspot for celebrities, marking its debut as the location for The Brit Awards in February for the very first time.’
Maya often expresses her affection for the city on TikTok, regularly posting about her life in the northern region for her 1.1 million fans. These posts include videos featuring her in Ruben’s lavish apartment and delighting in meals prepared by his private Portuguese chef, Diogo Prego.
The pair has been observed taking strolls around the city for dates, as well as being seen shopping at a local Apple store in Manchester’s Arndale Centre on a recent Monday.
A bystander shared with The Sun that Ruben and Maya appear deeply in love. Maya seemed affectionate towards Ruben, and the two of them seemed to be lost in their own world.
It aligns with earlier accounts suggesting that Maya and Ruben’s relationship was becoming more significant. Rumors indicate that they are contemplating deepening their romantic bond by deciding to live together.
It is said that early in their relationship, Ruben’s dedication played a significant role in strengthening their bond, and Maya was rumored to consider dividing her time between London and Manchester to spend more quality time with the footballer.
According to a source, Ruben openly expressed his feelings for Maya from the very beginning, understanding fully well that he has found something valuable in her, and intends to convey to Maya the depth of his sincerity towards her.
Openness and sincerity about his aspirations for their shared future proved instrumental in winning over Maya for their future together.
Maya is rooted in London, where her job, residence, and friendships reside. She’s contemplating splitting her time between there and another location.
In my experience as a lifestyle enthusiast, even with packed schedules, this dynamic duo has managed to carve out time for some truly rejuvenating getaways under the warm sun. Just recently, they embarked on an exhilarating adventure together, touching down in the vibrant Ibiza.
Maya posted a series of affectionate photos, marking the growing relationship she and her partner announced on Instagram back in May.
As a devoted supporter, I’ve made it a point to be present at numerous football matches over the past few months, cheering on Ruben with Manchester City.
It is thought that the couple first crossed paths following an encounter at the European Music Awards in November, approximately four months after Maya parted ways with her former boyfriend, Stormzy. The Portuguese player reportedly took notice of Maya during this meeting.
Their romantic relationship became official when they publicly displayed affection towards each other during KSI’s Baller League event in April.
Maya’s rumored relocation to Manchester is happening at a time when her career is flourishing remarkably well. Reports suggest that the executives at ITV are extremely keen to retain her as the host of Love Island, and have proposed an enormous contract valued nearly £2 million to keep her on board.
Since assuming leadership in 2023, the star of our television favorite has been regarded as the prized gem of our dating show. It’s reported that show executives are resolute in their efforts to prevent her from being poached by competitors like Netflix and Amazon.
In the suggested agreement, Maya stands to earn over £800,000 for hosting the premier summer series. She’d receive an identical amount for the winter All Stars edition, and there’s also a substantial fee for her work on After Sun.
The combination of the presenter’s charisma, humor, and stunning flair has led many to believe she is among ITV’s most financially reliable personalities.
Earlier this month, a source shared with The Sun: “Maya has captivated both fans and executives at ITV, and they’re keen to keep her on board. They don’t want to see her leave.
They know very well that she’s been given attractive job offers from various companies, including Netflix. She’s highly sought after.
They mentioned that it’s still premature, but the management is working on a highly attractive offer for Maya, one she might find difficult to reject.
It’s been reported that Maya is connected to an upcoming Amazon Prime entertainment series, which is said to offer a substantial salary.
Additionally, she is venturing into the world of acting and has secured a part as a gangster’s spouse in Guy Ritchie’s successful Netflix series, The Gentlemen.
It appears she’s been giving subtle indications that she might soon follow in the footsteps of Molly-Mae Hague by starting to create YouTube vlogs.
It’s reported that the celebrity might be considering a significant change in her profession by joining the influencer sphere, leveraging her massive social media audience. This shift was hinted at after it was disclosed that her Instagram account garnered an astounding 115 million views last July.
