Maya Jama’s rumoured romance with Ruben Dias has finally been confirmed after the pair were seen packing on the PDA at KSI’s Baller League event on Monday night.
The presenter, 30, and the footballer, 27, are thought to have been secretly dating for several months, after Maya first caught his eye when they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November.
She has since been seen at multiple football games over the last few months to watch Dias live in action for Man City.
But now they have been pictured for the first time together as they kissed and cuddled at the football event held at the Copper Box Arena this week in a video captured by The Sun.
The footage showed them with their arms around each other before he leant into her neck for a peck, with Ruben flying under the radar in casual clothes and a cap.
A source told the publication of that night: ‘Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other.

‘They were chatting to others around them but gravitated back to each other. They seem very happy with each other.’
It is the first time they have been seen in public since they were thought to have started dating – though Maya has often hinted at the romance by sharing snaps of flowers she has been sent.
MailOnline has contacted Maya’s representatives for comment.
Their appearance at the Baller League came just one day after she supported Ruben at Wembley on Sunday as his team Manchester City triumphed 2-0 against Nottingham Forest in the FA cup.
The Love Island host took her whole family to Wembley to support him.
She shared a video on the way to the stadium as she penned ‘family day out to Wembley’ in the caption – while her mother Sadie and brother Omar sat in the car with her.
Maya then shared a snap of the pitch as she watched on – while her family enjoyed the atmosphere.
Also this week, Maya hinted at a new romance as she seemingly enjoyed a ‘date’ in London on Tuesday amid speculation over her relationship with footballer Ruben.

She posed with a bouquet of red roses during dinner at Greek restaurant Alexander The Great in Camden.
Maya shared a glimpse of her dinner date as she shared snaps of her meal on Instagram.
In a huge hint, the man wore a blue, blue and white stripe jumper, while the TV star looked glamorous in a plunging black and white crochet dress.
Maya said: ‘This restaurant looks so cute, they put flowers on our table.’
Last week, it was reported that the pair are getting even ‘serious’ after the centre back introduced his new girlfriend to his mother Bernadette, according to The Sun.
This news came two weeks after it was reported that Maya is being followed on Instagram by Dias’ mother.
During the last international break in March, Maya flew to Lisbon to watch Dias play for the Portuguese national team.
She was pictured in the stands at the José Alvalade Stadium to witness Portugal’s 5-2 victory over Denmark in the second leg of their Nations League quarter-final.
The presenter was seen with a friend and glᴀsses of wine in a VIP hospitality box – usually reserved for friends and family of players.
Maya then posted a picture on social media of the two celebrating together at their romantic fireside retreat at 3:30am the following morning.
The snap is believed to have been taken at the footballer’s home in the Cascais region of Portugal, with a vast swimming pool and fire pit glimpsed in the picture.

They reportedly started dating in December, having met at the EMAs in November, which took place in Manchester – where Dias plays.
Rumours of the couple’s romance only intensified in the days following Valentine’s Day after Jama shared the bouquet of roses she received on her return to the UK from Cape Town following the conclusion of the 2025 Love Island All Star season.
The pair were then spotted wearing matching Cartier ‘LOVE’ bracelets, which were listed at £5,050 on the store’s website.
Jama was seen wearing the pricey gift in the Instagram post before Dias was spotted wearing the same item as he arrived for training ahead of City’s Champions League play-off second leg against Real Madrid in February.
They have kept тιԍнт-lipped on the dating rumours – but earlier in March, Gary Lineker seemingly confirmed their relationship by referencing the defender as Maya’s ‘boyfriend’ to her face.
After the incident, Maya did not deny Gary’s claim and only labelled the Match of the Day presenter ‘weird’.
Maya appeared to be upset after the former England player put her on the spot and prompted further speculation.
She said: ‘Get out! This is why I don’t talk to old people. They’re so weird.’
