TELLY star Maya Jama has been secretly seeing Man City ace Ruben Dias since last month after dressing him in a Liz Hurley style dress.
The Love Island host met the veteran in September at the MTV Europe Music Awards, two months after announcing her split from rapper Stormzy.

Maya, 30, posed on the red carpet in a black dress – similar to the one made famous by Liz in 1994 – at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena.
She and 27-year-old Ruben were seen together in public for the first time on New Year’s Eve, when they had a romantic dinner.
A source said: “Maya and Ruben exchanged details at the EMAs and have been talking ever since, but things took a turn for the worse in early December.
“When Ruben got injured and had to miss the packed New Year’s games, he took the opportunity to see Mayo in Spain in 2025. Celebrating the New Year together was a real step forward in their relationship.
“They get on well and are obviously a beautiful couple, but it’s early days.”
A fan spotted them having dinner at Sa Capella in Ibiza to celebrate 2025 and shared the blurry picture online.
One of Maya’s friends was also filmed.
Social media researchers noticed that the Portuguese footballer started following Maya online in November, and she immediately followed him back.
Maya will be Ruben’s second Love Island beau, following his three-month relationship with Arabella Chi, 33, last year.
It comes after Maya split from Stormzy, 31, last July.

Maya, recently announced as the new judge on ITV’s The Masked Singer, will fly to South Africa in a few days to host the second series of All Stars on Love Island.
He will settle at home in Cape Town in a month.
Maya revealed that her next romance will be with the man she intends to marry, adding: “Thirty is the turning point. I am so happy right now, but the next person I meet I want to marry and have children with.
Former Benfica star Ruben, who also dated Portuguese pop star April Ivy, 25, signed for City in 2020 and won four Premier League titles and the Champions League with the club.
He is one of the best defenders in the world, with 64 appearances for the national team.
