UMVA has learned that Maya Jama and Ruben Dias have abruptly ended their 18-month romance, just three weeks before Maya was set to film The Celebrity Traitors in Inverness.
The shocking split comes as a surprise to fans, given the couple's seemingly strong relationship. They began dating in December 2024, after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester the previous month.
According to information obtained by UMVA, both Maya and Ruben have started to remove loved-up photos of their time together from social media, hinting at a deliberate attempt to erase their relationship from the public eye.
Maya had previously relocated to a luxurious mansion in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, with Ruben, choosing to leave London to be closer to him. The lavish home boasts an indoor leisure suite, landscaped gardens, and a state-of-the-art security system.
Before dating Maya, Ruben was in a relationship with Portuguese singer April Ivy from 2018 to 2021. Meanwhile, Maya's most famous romance prior to Ruben was with British rapper Stormzy, with whom she had a highly publicized on-again, off-again relationship from 2015 to 2024.
The Love Island host and Stormzy initially announced their split in July 2024, citing a need for space and clarity to navigate their lives. They had attempted to rekindle their romance in 2023, but ultimately decided to go their separate ways.
Maya has also had a notable romance with former NBA player Ben Simmons, whom she publicly dated in 2021. The pair even announced their engagement in January 2022 but ultimately parted ways.
The sudden split between Maya and Ruben comes on the heels of a 'devastating' ordeal in January, when their home was attacked and thousands of pounds worth of items were stolen, including designer clothes, jewelry, and electronics.
